I've never used the editor before, but if you've got the time, why not try looking some guides up online? I taught myself to use hammer editor for the source engine, and trust me, hammer is a little more complex than adding in a few pre-made buildings. You could do it!

When in the main menu, press "Ctrl + E". It will bring up a list of maps that you have. Pick the one pertaining to your mission and when it loads up, it will look like a normal 2d map editor. Then, from there, load up the edited map you want to use by clicking the 'Load' button. Then from here, click "edit in 3D". This will allow you to basically edit in a Halo Forge-ish mode. Look up tutorials to save the map and what not. there are a lot of them out there. The 3D editor is a Dev tool that was sort of hidden in the game and can sometimes glitch out. Have mutliple saves of the map you are editing.

Hello there

bear in mind that alot of advanced editing is not actually done in the game editor, rather in *shudder* notepad etc as there's alot of extra files that are called which cannot be edited ingame.

Depbo any relatively advanced mission to see what I mean.

Orlok is correct here, you will not see a lot of stuff on the map as its all scripted. You need to learn lua and extract the mission files using a pbo tool and then go in and edit them to see which part has the template for bases. then you need to copy that code and then change the coordinates it is spawned at. It's not going to be as simple as just directing you, you need to know some level of programming.
