Hi i have 2 questions with regards to HL2

1) is there a definate release date for the UK?
2) What editor does it use?

I currently map for the Quake 3 arena engine making maps for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy how similar will the editor be to radiant if at all.

The reason i ask is because i know the original HL can be edited with radiant which i am so used to...

Anyways cheers

Ok cheers is that similar to the original Hammer editor?

I am also wondering how complex curves will be to do.

Im pretty much a noob when it comes to HL2 i was going to go into Unreal Warfare mapping but looking at the source engine i think it would be stupid to do so

Most of your question should be answered here:

Hammer, Hammer 2, and Radiant are all brush based editors, so mapping in Hammer will be very similar to mapping in Radiant.
