exist there a means of playing without CD, legally ?

Get Alcohol 120%, rip an iso of the CD to your hard drive, then mount
it. Your real drives are empty and you are still able to play.

No, it's free to use, it just pops up a nag screen every time you
start the program, if I remember correctly.

That's because most people have moved to HaloCE. For the custom maps,
including two from Halo2.

It's a free add-on to HaloPC and there exists a nocd patch. Why haven't you
upgraded?

There are hundreds of maps in CE including New Mombassa and Zanzibar from
Halo 2. Plus custom weapons and vehicles. Halo PC is pale by comparison.

Who cares how many other servers are out there, when the one you're on
rocks? Let them keep playing Blood Gulch all day long.
