You can get the program H2MC it has everything you need except photoshop and programs like that because it would be illegal. But it has some tuts on there i know it tells how to edit the name of a weapon and i think it has a tut on how to skin. But to edit the name of a weapon/vehicle you need to get hex workshop because you edit that in the hex of the map. Also 3ds Max doesn't edit bitmaps at least i dont think it does. 3ds Max is a very expensive and very good 3d modeling program. Most people use this program to make level's/weapons/vehicles for halo 1. This can't be done for halo 2 until prometheus comes out.
