Welcome to Halo Customs! If you're new around here, make sure to post an intro! On top of that, allow me to help you out with getting started on this site.
One of the most commonly asked questions in the Introductions Forums is, "How do I play customs?" Well this here thread should give you all the information you need to get started!
The Road to Custom Games
Want to play some Custom Games? Well there are quite a few ways to do so!
The most obvious option is to navigate through the Custom Games section from the Forum Screen.
You can find all of the other custom game views in the "Customs" tab at the top of the page.
Head on over to Upcoming Games to find lobbies being held in the near future. These will show you what's going on in the next few days.
From there, just click on a lobby to see the details about what will be played.
Once you find a lobby you're interested in, you can RSVP. Once you do, the host will be sent your Gamertag and you should receive an invite once the lobby starts.
The quickest way to host your own game would be to select that big bright button on the right of the forum view (right of the chatbox).

After you've put in the correct details, we highly recommend that you write a nice inviting description. The description can be the difference between getting 2 to 3 RSVPs, and getting 10 to 16. Also, spell checkers help
And hopefully that's all you need to know! If you have any further questions, post below, and I'll see if I can expand the tutorial

Hello! Thanks for the info. However I have a question about playing the custom games. Before joining a game, do I need to have all the game types and maps pre-downloaded before I start? I see on the upcoming games page of people planning to play 10 or 11 minigames and I was wondering if I need to have all of them downloaded before playing or you can play them as is. Sorry if this is a nooby question but I just signed up and am really excited to play! Thanks again!
Nope, I don't think the maps are necessarily required - it's down to the host, really. You could ask them, or you could simply participate in the maps that you do have. It's really just up to your own judgment.
