Subject: DO I HAVE TO BUY 3ds Max TO USE HALO 2 MAP EDITOR!!!!!

i read what i had to do to use the h2v map editor and it says that i need to first download 3ds max. i lokked it up and it costs a lot of money. even the stuff that explains how to use 3ds max costs a lot of money. i am not a computer graphics designer so it is not worth it spending ssooo much money to make my own maps.

am i stuck playing on other people's creations or am i wrong!

SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLIAN!!!!!!!

If you're a college student, you can get it much cheaper than the regular retail price. Around $380.

there is an exporter, but its not OFFICALLY supported. How do you think everyone and their brother could make maps for CE? Not everyone has 3DS most people used Gmax.

And the pot calls the kettle black lol... no disrespect intended; your post just made me laugh XD

What it is.

It's a map editor, not map creator...I wouldn't be so mad because they are giving you some nice tools to make your own maps. My advice would be. take your time with maps because it will make that map just that much better.

What else is a map designer?
I'm glad they're still keeping it tough. These crazy loopy-land stunt parks are just silly. Anything to keep them from being made more than they already are is a good thing.

Ah and THIS is how we get more people to come to the maw forum.
Really though, I wasn't' stupid enough to buy H2v but if I figured out I had to bittorrent 3DS I'd be pissed. not only that, but it takes around 20 hours to learn. What I want to know is what exactly DOES the map editor do that 3ds doesn't? cause IMO texturing is a -blam!- and If it does that then the rest should be fine.
