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.
The following is not my footage. Just showing what it looks like:
