Developer mode
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Overview
Developer Mode, or devmode, is a feature that can be turned on in Halo Custom Edition(Halo PC) if desired. It allows cheats to be used for testing of maps, which are entered through the console. To enable the devmode, go to your desktop, click on the 'Halo: Custom Edition' icon (or whatever you have named it), and then open the menu, and select 'copy'. Then select an empty space on your desktop and click 'paste'. Then rename it 'Halo CE devmode' or something similar. Then, right click the icon and select 'properties'. You will see the words "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe", with the quotations. Change this to read: ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe"-Screenshot -console -devmode. Cheats with [#] next to them, type 1 to activate or 0 to deactivate.

Alldev and Devtrainer
Alldev is a devmode program that works for Halo: PC and for Halo: Custom Edition multiplayer. It allows server hosts to basically cheat. Non-hosts can use the lesser cheats, but cheats such as invincibility can only be achieved by the host. Often people will host servers for the sole purpose of having fun with cheats on. In some Halo: Custom Edition custom maps, devmode is required in order to find easter eggs or in some cases, devmode will not work with certain maps
Devtrainer is another devmode program which also works for Halo: CE. Instead of allowing the user to use commands on the console, it has at least eleven command codes built into it. Basic cheats such as super jump and invincibility can be switched on by a click of a button. What makes Devtrainer great is that it has a time freeze function built into it, allowing the player to stop all slow-moving projectiles, grenades, and vehicles. It does not allow the player to freeze other players in place, unless they happen to be driving a vehicle. Alldev and Devtrainer are available for free download at selected Halo: CE websites.
