So at my school I have access to the student version of 3DS Max. I can choose 2012, 2013, 2014, or 2015. In your opinion, which would be best for map making? Thanks for your help!

Most people will say 2013, so I would go with the majority.
However, I use 2014 and it works great with Service Pack 5 installed. |

Depends what your using on it, in my opinion the 2008 version so you can install the Halo Exporter, plus it has all the tools that I use, don't really use any of the new tools in the newer versions.
Only reason I have the newer versions is, well, because I like new toys :) |

If you use a version that does not support Blitzkrieg, then use the Bluestreak exporter. And if you can't import .wrl files, then use the chimp importer.
I use those two without a problem. However, you might find it convenient to use a version of max that supports Blitzkrieg and imports .wrl. |

Halo mapping was intended to be used with Max 8 in mind as far as I know. However, as many here have said, in the later versions there are other ways to go about working with BLAM. 2010 with bluestreak works with very little issue. 2011-2013 make you have to close max before running anything through tool, but 2014 works similarly to 2010 in compatability terms
