The HL2 mapping tool... I believe is Valve Hammer Editor (a.k.a Worldcraft). Download it from the valve-erc page (http://collective.valve-erc.com/).

You NEED to get the SDK with Steam. The Worldcraft Editor at http://collective.valve-erc.com/ is for Half Life 1 !

I've been doing a small bit of Source Hammer mapping for Counter Strike Source. So far I've only done very core basic work with the editor. Simple BSP construction, basic static mesh work and general lighting work (as in swinging lamps). And yes, as the others have said, you must first own HL2 and proceed to download the SDK under the Tools tab for Steam.

Go http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SDK_Docs if you need help with Source Mapping. This wiki covers a wide range of SDK topics.

Also the http://www.snarkpit.net/editing.php?game=HL2 can be a bit of good help on some things the SDK either lightly touches or doesn't touch at all (for now).

You blaspheme! The wiki pwns! The general topics anyway. The Snark Pit does however cover the little details the SDK does not.
