My very first full experience with a map editor is the one of Far Cry Instincts Predator, What a amazing editor was that.. i still got 1-2 gigs of map data on my Xbox 360 HDD, i try to make them very detailed, its very silk to work with those tools.. The graphics where oke for its time, i still love 'em, colour full engine!

Everything is oke, Halo 3-like Forge editor, full map editor or anything els!

Hammer, Cryengine 2 sandbox, GECK.

The CryEngine2 Sandbox2 is the best level editor around right now, in terms of ease of use and power, in my opinion. Though I do have a fondness for Hammer.

Railworks has a nice editor. It's a shame a lot of people neglect it just because the large amount of DLC it has. [img]http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/8082/lolkm.png[/img]

Farcry 2's was fun to mess with. It was really easy.

[QUOTE=Dashiel;22779489]Hammer, Cryengine 2 sandbox, GECK.[/QUOTE] GECK is one of the hardest things to learn in pretty much any map maker.

[QUOTE=The freeman;22779541]GECK is one of the hardest things to learn in pretty much any map maker.[/QUOTE] Very true, I gave up after a few days.

Heard the Source Hammer editor is a bit out-dated.. is this true? or is it just very buggy?

[QUOTE=darth-veger;22779553]Heard the Source Hammer editor is a bit out-dated.. is this true? or is it just very buggy?[/QUOTE] It's outdated; but it can still make fantastic maps.

arma 2 built in editor and visitor 3

It's not buggy at all, what are you on about? Of course it's out dated, Source hasn't recived a significant upgrade since 2007 and entities aside, Hammer has remained essentially unchanged since HL2's release in 2004.

Time-splitters too. Simple but fun.

I never really got into map making It was fun in RTS map makers to spawn 1000s of soldiers and watch them fight though

The earliest map editor I used was the one in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, classic fun there.

[QUOTE=OutOfExile;22779579]lol you actually bought it[/QUOTE] It's a good game though.

Far Cry 2's map editor is nice.

[QUOTE=PieClock;22779595]Time-splitters too. Simple but fun.[/QUOTE] Gotta love that TS editor. You could make very simple maps that were replayable in a matter of minutes just by throwing some spawn points here and there. Though the main editor I'm used to is Hammer, which is very old, and slightly clunky, but a very solid editor, easy to learn, hard to master, but worthwhile.

Their heads look almost like fish.

[QUOTE=The freeman;22779541]GECK is one of the hardest things to learn in pretty much any map maker.[/QUOTE] I spent about a week trying to align two corridors. I gave up.

The only reason I use GECK is for item customization. Practically nothing more or else I ragequit trying to learn.

Installing ArmA 2 again, had some good times with the popes and there adventure to [sp]hitler hill[/sp]

The Trials HD Level Editor was amazing.

Crysis' Sandbox is so motherfucking fun. I have a whole bunch of pictures of giant turtles, underwater cities, fields of flowers that I've all made in Sandbox 2.

Starcraft and Warcraft 3. And Starcraft 2.

i do got Crysis, gonna reinstall that to

I used to use hammer a lot I wish I could go back to the days when I made little mazes for people and they were full of traps and I would laugh at them but sometimes I was nice and we made boats and once I made a gaint mountain map with mountains all around it and it was cool but then I didn't play much after that and I like hammers grid better than secondlifes grid
