i have been wanting to buy Halo: Combat Evolved for quite awile because i have hurd about making your own maps, skins, and vehicles. so i finally bought it about 3 days ago and downloaded Halo CE. but now i realize that you need 3DS MAX to make your own levels and vehicles, and i dont have 3DS MAX. so my question now is, can i atleast make my own skins? i have Adobe Photoshop, but i cant seem to be able to find any skins to edit in the Halo folder. is there a special tool i have to download to extract them from the game?

Yeah, use HMT (Halo Map Tools) to extract the skin from the game, re-edit it, and reinject. I'll have a link to HMT and a tutorial for you in just a couple minutes.

EDIT:

You can also download a free watered down version of 3ds Max, called GMAX and there are tutorials in the tutorials index for using it and creating your own maps.
