3ds max any version. Of course worldcraft is probably better because it's more affordable. Yeah go with worldcraft.

best program without a doubt would be Worldcraft 3.x as it was developed specifically for Half-Life ... but personally I'd use Qoole instead, its far better and easier.

Don't make a world within something like Max unless you know what your doing because its FAR too easi to develop a world with leaks ... Half-Life doesn't like rendering them and your system will die when your crosshair is over themm people who understand the engine know full well why

For Quake3 on the other hand Gmax is outstanding for developing levels for it, GTKRadient has alot of good addons which will also extend the usefulness of Radient however does take ALOT of getting used to
Gmax is more for the idiots of world creation, but the fact you have modelling tools also at your disposal helps greatly.

To make it legal to make a .MAP for DBPro, you have to use Qoole v99. Worldcraft/Valve Hammer Editor is 100% illegal to make any levels for a game/game engine other than Half-Life. The same goes for any of the nnRadient level makers.

Qoole and Quark are the only "free to use" level makers.

Ooh now that WOULD be interesting vegeta. No sarcasm either I'd love to see how it's done.
There are heaps of editors you can use to make Worlds/Levels. Really it depends on what you need. For the most part a matrix with a couple of buildings (since most DB games I've seen a pretty simplistic). Though for a fully fledged game you'd be looking for a nice BSP editor (and hopefully DBPRO). If you do intend to make a large and complex game I say good luck to you, because I always give up about a 1/4 of the way through.
