Ok, let do this.

So, you said you downloaded the maps. Correct?

Well, make sure you put them in your Halo CE maps Folder.

If you've done that then your fine.

Although, the Map Manager doesn't work for me, so I download the maps individually. I suggest maybe doing that to see what happens.

When it says unable to join game server, then 99.99% of the time, your missing a map.

Also, you do not need a password to get into the server.

I hope this helps some.

Did you unzip them?  They generally are downloaded as .zip files, but need to be in .map format.

I have had problems with Portent for some reason... not sure what's going on, there.

Alternative question, similar subject:
Where'd the CE server go? It seems to have disappeared as far as the status-checker on the BFM homepage is concerned...

There's a post about this in annoucements or general or something, but the CE server is down until we figure out the lag problem.  Sorry!!!
