Well I've been drawn to this game because I have halo for PC and used to have both of them for xbox. I meet all the system requirements and have an Xbox live gold account (If I understand correctly I should be able to use my gold account to play matchmaking). However, I'm not as interested in playing as I am creating maps. Of course I will play a lot if I buy it but I was just asking how complicated map making is. Is it as easy as FarCry or is it similar to the TES Construction set? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You need an modelor to make maps, the program that comes with it is a severly limited map editor. So, no, it isn't as simple as in FarCry.

So I would need to learn how to make 3D models? I've tried out blender to make Oblivion mods but gave up and decided it wasn't worth the time and complication.

Yes, except you would need to buy, or download the trial of 3DMax. But, it is definitely worth it to learn something as advanced as that.

You know, you can also go to sites like Turbosquid and sign up for an account, which is free, and get gmax, or at least a code that lets you use it. That way you can have gmax, which is almost as powerful as 3DMax, but you get to keep it forever. If you're dedicated, that is.

Alright, I do plan on doing something with computers when I'm older. Who knows it could be the start of the rest of my life. Anyways, are there any great user-made maps out yet that would incline someone to purchase it. For example remakes of CS maps or old halo maps or even maps that have never appeared in a game before but are exceptional non the less.
