I just checked something out with my Generals map editor and, well, both Generals and Halo use the same map extension! I tried opening the maps in the editor, but no such luck. Could someone maybe give me a little info as to how I might mod the editor to make it able to use Halo maps and maaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyybeeeeeeeeee we might have an easy-to-use map editor for people who can't take the "Dial-Up Day". (Cough) Me (Cough)

.map it makes sense that that extensions is used to designate MAP file you know because it is a MAP.

It was designed for another game, so i doubt we can use halo maps in it no matter what you do to it.

Right. Stating that you can use the Generals map editor program with Halo maps is like saying I can play on my gamecube with my Xbox 360 controller.

I was just hoping that maybe someone could mod it so we could.

It would be better to just make a brand spankin' new map editor for halo based off of the Generals map editor.

Yeah, all you have to do is recode a map editor. Simple right?

BTW:
Marathon usese map files, Halo 2 uses map files, none of them are the same format.
