ENGINE: Unreal Engine (1999)
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror is a first-person shooter multiplayer game released on PC back in 2002. It's a mod for Unreal Tournament (UT99). It wasn't as popular as Counter-Strike, but it was fairly popular and had a large fan base back then.

I was very surprised to see that I still could find these levels online. This was my first time learning how to use an advanced level editor for a game (2004).
MY FIRST LEVEL EDITOR EXPERIENCE
My first level editor experience was actually within the game "Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins", released on PlayStation 1, back in the year 2000. I was only 12 years old back then!
​
It isn't as advanced as working inside UnrealEd (The editor I used to create the Tactical Ops levels), but I believe it's partly thanks to this game that I found my love for level design. I made levels that my father and brother played, and it's definitely one of my core memories from my childhood.
