Holy shit, I haven't played this game in years. Absolutely awesome game, so fun go mess around in. Vote goes for this too.

I had over 1000 hours into this game, easily the most I've ever played and it's in my top 3 of all time. I"d kill for an hd remake, but I'm not holding my breath by any means.

 

[Aters]

The fact that almost everyone is posting FPSs in here is depressing.

You could change that by posting something else, but instead you decided to throw out weird shitpost.

 

[RamaKun]

I can't forget good ol' Block Fort from MK64:

It's on PC and it still has an online community. I edited that photo out though, my favorite is Ravine from Nightfire. Couldn't remember the name. Ravine with State of the Art weapon set is always fun.

Oh, good to know. Thanks!

 

[Syf]

Daybreak - StarCraft 2. Lots of great games on this map both played and watched. I always feel at home on it.

 

[Scum]

Easy.

Maybe tied with Aerowalk.

Without a doubt, CTF-Face:

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

Mario Party 2's Destruction Duet, if it counts.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Shadowrun - Nerve Center (Small)

 

[Purest 78]

SOCOM 2 - Crossroads

This is classic but Desert Glory is more iconic in my opinion.

 

[Sillution]

2Fort

Agree with this. TFC 2 fort had many many many hours spent playing it over and over and over.

 

[DaciaJC]

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Backstab. Quite probably the most played map in that game, and for good reasons.

The picture is actually from a BF2 mod recreating the map on PC. Hard to find good images from the actual console version.

 

[RamaKun]

Its been a looooooong time, but of the maps I can recall from Powerstone 2, this one stuck in my memory the most.

I miss that series.

What in the world are you talking about?

[LaNaranja]

Valor Suppression from MAG. I would love climbing into the building and sniping. Or if the other team had control of the building, throwing smoke bombs inside to troll them until they came down the latter where I could shoot them. Sniping and counter sniping were a ton of fun in that game thanks to the giant maps.

 

[g859]

BF2142 - Camp Gibraltar

64-player matches on that map were ridiculously amazing.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Guardian from Halo 3. Inspired by already great maps from Halo 2, it has a great layout with plenty of verticality and a perfect variety of weapons at your disposal to use. It's just an ideal Halo map.

 

[Dr.Brobotnik]

all of them


edit:
but to stay on topic: Caspian Border

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

Without a doubt, CTF-Face:

Same.

 

[Dice//]

I got simple tastes.

 

[Fug Slanderson]

I can't find a good pic, but Warehouse in Splinter Cell Spies VS Mercs. Runners up include Lockout from Halo 2 (really most of Halo 2's maps are awesome) and Facility from Goldeneye.

 

[waterproofjesus]

Canyon Oasis from Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

 

[Acrylic7]

Salamun Market kz2. Best MP map Iv ever played on.

Man why did Guerilla fuck everything up.

 

[Mister Negative]

Halo 3, The Pit, that opening dash for the power weapons to the left and center with people chucking nades and detonating explosive barrels basically decided the match. Another time my entire team left and I beat an entire team solo. So many memories.

Hell yeah.

I could play MLG CTF on The Pit for the rest of my life.

 

[fatty]

Daybreak - StarCraft 2. Lots of great games on this map both played and watched. I always feel at home on it.

That's a good one, and I like seeing some SC2 maps posted here. I also have found memories of Overgrowth:

 

[TheGreatDirector]

There's unfortunately not a very clear pic I can find but:

The space station map from Portal Runner was fucking awesome. There's a zero g button that can be activated to lead to a free floating bow and arrow fight to the death.

 

[Emitan]

Strike at Karkand, Battlefield 2

Badwater Basin, Team Fortress 2

Kirby's Dreamland, Super Smash Bros, Melee, 4

Vjun Sentinel, Jedi Academy

 

[nickgia]

Lockout Halo 2.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Dust 2

Loved Arica Harbor in BFBC2

I was initially thinking dust2, and it wasn't close. And then I remembered Complex. And then I remembered Wake. And then I remembered Arica Harbor. What a tough call. I'll probably stick with dust2 just because CS is the only one of those I still play. Or another original offering:

Bouncing green shells off the angles in Super Mario Kart battle mode was my jam before FPSes took over.

 

[projectmayhem]

 

[santi_yo]

Absolutely loved both of these maps.

I'll add in

Salamun Market, KZ2.

Damn. Killzone 2 had great maps.

I liked these two as well.

Tharsis Depot.

Blood (Meridian?).

 

[phanphare]

nobody posted the goat

you're slippin' gaf

 

[joeblow]

...and the winner is:

2Fort!

Spoiler

OK, I cheated a bit

 

[UpUpDownDown]

2Fort

Oh god, YES!

 

[Bobo Dakes]

Iconic.

 

[fluffydelusions]

2Fort

There are still people playing according to steamcharts...tempted to reinstall lol

 

[Earthbound64]

P.S. I'm guessing the "(and describe why)" part was mod-edited into the title, since the OP didn't do any describing, and most posts are just an image with nothing else (I'm guilty of that as well)

 

[bitbydeath]

I'll go with this.

Edit - PS3 Warhawk btw

It is hard to pick just one but I'll go with this.

 

[Boss X]

Overgrown - COD4

Groznyj Grad - MGO2

 

[Sianos]

cp_gullywash_final, from Team Fortress 2

I just love the way this map is constructed and has been refined over the years. There's different options for staging pushes, a variety of open and closed spaces to fight in, and many flanking routes.

 

[Mike Works]

Wake Island from Battlefield 1942.

It's a small island in the shape of a "U" that allowed essentially every play style imaginable:

- 1v1 and/or large scale gunfights
- dogfighting
- fighting on the sea (complete with cannons that could attack ships, and boats to board ships/reach the island)
- cover in the form of foliage, houses, and vehicles
- enough space to use ground vehicles, including tanks and jeeps
- a small enough map that you could drive from one end to the other in a couple minutes, meaning you were never far away from the action
- the shape of the map allowed you to swim across from one point to another to try and capture a point
- hilly terrain, allowing you to sneak past enemies on either side of the island
- guard towers for sniping, that also acted as choke points for people trying to run/drive into capture points (see image above)

It's seriously the best ever. Don't know how well it'd translate into modern games, but I spent days camping out as an engineer on Wake trying to surprise people with TNT.

 

[____]

It is hard to pick just one but I'll go with this.

Damn I wish I could play this game again.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Going to do a few, BF3 had some fantastic maps.

Epicenter (one of the smaller maps, but absolutely golden design, not to mention the earthquake torn through the map looks incredible)

Strike at Karkand (Jesus, what a perfect example of a great infantry map with tanks sprinkled in, this is god tier immersion)

Caspian Border (awesome visuals, huge open map with just the right amount of infantry/vehicle combat)

 

[Wheelatron]

Soldier of fortune 2...Good times throwing knives

Ya buddy. I poured so much time into SOF2, both in pubs and competitive. Even made a few maps.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Siene Crossing from BF3 was amazing.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Ah yes, China Town

 

[ZeoVGM]

I don't really have a favorite but...

 

[Dec]

The multiplayer map in the demo of Solider of Fortune 2. I never owned the game, but I played hundreds of hours of that one map.

 

[endlessflood]

Loved Arica Harbor in BFBC2

Yeah it's Arica Harbour (Rush) in BFBC2 for me as well.

Wake Island has been great in most of its incarnations too, but Arica Harbour (Rush) is easily the best for me.

Arica Harbour just felt like a battle unfolding, and every set of objectives offered a really unique feeling. You had the massive tank battle at the start, then the charge down the hill into the town, then fighting through the city streets to get to the bridge, then charging over and under the bridge to take the warehouse, and then finally the epic showdown in the construction building. It's put a big smile on my face just thinking about it

 

[DisenLedZep]

Badwater Basin, Team Fortress 2

Came to post this... no contest. Most fun map I've ever played in any game.

 

[Exploratory]

Coagulation

The TYPES of fun you can have is so varied. So amazing.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Groznyj Grad - MGO2

Exactly what I came to post, same image in mind as well. There's no map that could get me excited in a game, four years after a launch, like Groznyj Grad did in MGO2. Every time that this would be the playground, I'd feel the blood flowing!
