Recovering Stock Maps From Disc

[Takka 13,377]

For this you must have your Halo disc in your drive.

Go to "Computer" and find the drive containing your disc, then right click on it and hit "Open".
Navigate to the "FilesCab" Folder, and Inside you will see 6 compressed folders, Cab 1-6.

 

The maps contained in these folders are as follows:

Cab1
a10 (Pillar of Autumn)
a30 (Halo)
a50 (Truth and Reconciliation)
d40 (The Maw) 

Cab2
b30 (Silent Cartographer)
b40 (Assault on the Control Room)
beavercreek (Battle Creek)
bloodgulch
boardingaction

Cab3
c10 (343 Guilty Spark)
c20 (The Library)
c40 (Two Betrayals)
carousel (Derelict)
chillout
d20 (Keyes)

Cab5

Cab6

Oh, wow, I was looking for these files. Now I don't have to reinstall halo to get back the bloodgulch that I repeatedly killed. Nice, and thanks.

Stickied, because every modder should know about this.

Protip: find them, save them to your hard drive somewhere, and use that as an Original maps folder. SOme applications such as Harbinger require access to a stock maps folder anyway, so this can kill two birds with one stone, and save you the hassle of hunting down your disk again down the road

Yeah, I duplicate my MAPS folder first thing after installing Halo, but mistakes happen.
