There are a lot of level design editors (map editors) available. From original Half Life and Team Fortress to more current games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Crysis 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Skyrim. If you have been following World of Level Design, I primarily focus on level design and environment art for first-person shooter games. But level editors are just tools to get your ideas into players hands. Many of the level editors I list have been used for other game genres. From racing to 2 D top down shooters to puzzles and third person action games. Following is a list of level editors you can download and begin using. Below you will find editors that I either I have used in the past, continue to use or recommend to use.

If you are familiar with level design, feel free to skip this section. What is a Level Editor ( Map Editor?) Level editor is software that is used to create levels/maps for a specific game engine and specific game. Level editor allows level designers to create the world that the player will navigate, interact with and play in. Level designers are able to create new mission types, new worlds, and new content for a game without modifying any code to the game engine itself. Level editors usually come packaged with the game engine as part of the toolset for game designers. Then the level editor is configured for a specific game. So if you want to create new maps for Left4 Dead2 you would need to download the L4 D2 Authoring Tools.
