Favourite level editing software?

I always liked the old Operation Flashpoint or Armed Assault. So many possibilites for fun, and I hear that Armed Assault 2 is even better.

The only one I ever took the time to learn was UnrealED (the one that came with the original Unreal Tournament) and I made a few (bad) maps with it. It was surprisingly easy and intuitive once you go through a couple of tutorials, I think I'd be much better at it now but its very dated, and the UnrealED that came with my UT3 is much more complicated.

I also learned a bit of Valve's Hammer Editor for Source games but I didn't find it very intuitive at all. I did however start making a fairly detailed singleplayer map for Half-Life 2, it just didn't interest me enough to finish.

Unreal Engine 3's UDK [http://www.udk.com], it's powerful, got lot's of documentation and fairly easy to get in to.

Also, OP, you don't want CryEngine 2, I've tried it a bit, and it's bugged to hell and back, lot's of assets & functions missing, random crashes etc.

Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect's map maker!

Other than that, no I don't use them.

How do you get/use a GECK? I enjoy the map editor from Days of Ruin.
