What game has your favorite map/level editor built into it? This includes Halo's own Forge Mode, Track/Shootmania's editor, and Trials Evolution's built in editor. Are there more advanced tools as well that you prefer to use for some games that that are not necessarily part of the game itself(For example the Hammer Editor for Source Engine games)? Examples: Spoiler Halo's Forge Shootmania's Editor Trials Evolution's Editor Valve's Hammer Editor

You have a lot of favorites lol My favorite is LoadRunner, This is first game I ever played with a level editor and gave me the love of making levels and desire for every game to have a level editor.
Few... Tee hee... tee hee... [/SARCASM] Forge is the only one I use obviously but the shootmania editor is kinda sweet. You just can't rotate around the axis so there is only one direction you can look at it.
I tried valves "Hammer" editor a couple days ago. Needless to say, I had no idea what I was doing... Just kidding, I still have no idea what I'm doing. As much as forge is limiting in what you can do, the simplicity is rather nice. The Hammer editor made almost zero sense to me. I managed to make a single block and place a spawn point but I couldn't even texture the damn block... So yeah, forge offers a nice simplicity, and as I haven't tried anything but it and the Hammer editor, I'll go with "I like forge better" for now.
