haloCE is halo custom edition. it allows you do play user created maps. it does this by making the .map file include the necessary bitmaps and sounds and models needed to run. this is very similar to the xbox .map files. halo pc has a bimaps.map and a sounds.map just to let you know. the files within these are shared amung the maps. this would make modding for halo a living hell because you would have to keep on patching the bimaps file. so that is why they made it so now all the necessary materials needed to run the map are contained with in it.

Gmax doesnt read .dds files. If you want to use the halo textures you are going to have to convert them to bitmap or jpg by using convim in the files>utilities section
