OK PEOPLES HERE ARE ANSWERS TO UR QUESTIONS.
1. As state before, the real brains are over at http://www.gearboxsoftware.com forums.
2. In order to create maps, u will either need 3ds max (a $1500 tool which u can use a free 30 day trial) or G-Max (a gamers 3ds max made by the same company). go to http://www.discreet.com to find the download. For G-Max, u will need the chimp exporter designed by baka over at the gearbox forums.
3. Most maps can be found at http://files.halomods.com. go into the Halo CE forums, and all the maps will be posted with pics and names.
4. All maps are zipped for bandwidth reason and faster download times, and it is usually a .rar file. To unzip this type of zip file, u will need WinRAR. (search for it)
5. To download the HEK and Halo CE, go to the gearbox forums once again. They will have many sites listed.
6. For a tutorial on how to make maps, got to http://halomods.com and search for Kirk4's Halo CE tutorial video's. They show how to make maps from start to finish, using 3ds max, tool.exe, guerilla, and sapien. The tut will also work for G-Max, but the material editor is slightly different.

I am telling u spammers right now, dont get any ideas cause i have a few... lets say TRICKS, up my sleeve to get u -blam!-s. (woa) Any e-mails will be answered as soon as i can get to my computer. Anywho, hope I have been of some assistance, and keep asking questions.
