[GHL]

This has been asked so many times since the forums opened this section, i keep answering it and answering it, and noone looks for the previous posts, infact i think some were deleted because so many are asking this.

Please sticky and lock this mods.

What you need to start mapping:

The software You will need: (other than the game itself)

- The Halo Editing Kit (Tool, Guerilla, Sapien And the Tags+Data)

Just one thing seems to be missing. The program you need to open .rar files. I think it's WinZip or something.
