[cHinzo]

Cold War from Bad Company 2 (that rush mode!)

and

Dust2 from Counter-Strike.

 

[MysteryM]

It has to be a halo map, Ivory Tower - the GOAT halo maps, followed by old school halo 2 Zanzibar.

 

[c0Zm1c]

I don't play these kinds of games anymore but Dueling Keeps (Quake 3 Arena) is probably my favourite from back in the day. I'm not sure why though because there was nothing special about it. :\

I used to find that maps I hated at first I would often grow to love over time. Timberland and Danger Canyon being a couple from Halo, and Troubled Waters and The Stronghold from Quake 3 Arena.

 

[thenexus6]

Headlong from Halo 2 easily

Halo 2 lan party days were legendary

 

[-COOLIO-]

Kill house b

 

[Pepin]

Hands down Zanzibar from Halo 2 WITH proximity voice intact running bomb or flag game modes. I truly hope this type of map and play returns to Halo.

Came here to say this - Halo was the first time I really got into online MP and it was this map that proved to me how good level design can be, and how much it can affect different modes

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Lockout from Halo 2 or Fuel Depot from Gears 1

 

[DryvBy]

Dust is my favorite map of all time. Such a well thought out map.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

OG Half-life Death Match. Being able to fly around the map effectively with a tau cannon took some serious skill.

Crossfire:

Hell yes. I'll add the OpFor maps as well.

 

[butzopower]

For straight up Death Match, Quake II's The Edge.

 

[razu]

q3dm17

 

[Stormus]

Port Valdez

 

[soxinthebox]

Quake 3 dm17 and that came with the damn shareware version.

 

[Elixist]

Ivory Tower , halo 2. i wasnt even spectacular at the map, its just very unique and plays so well, was fun to watch the meta change after everybody had like 50 games on it and the different strategies that would emerge. the balance of the map is just great with different approaches and counters for the areas and graphics were vibrant and clean.

 

[tootsi666]

Midship. It's the best map in Halo 2 and 5 and top 3 in Halo 3.

 

[Spiritreaver]

2fort. I don't give a shit if a random TF2 player thinks otherwise. I spent hundreds of hours playing 2fort and don't regret it. I'd happily do it again if the map appeared in another game. The turtling and long standoffs coupled with a great sense of community in server, was always a fun time.

I liked a lot of the shitty old TF2 maps. Radar, Dustbowl, Well. Spent nearly all my time on 2fort though.

Yes, I played the other maps. No, I don't care that you don't agree.

 

[CastleRybread]

BF2- Strike at Karkand



Played so many hours on that map.



I mean... if you liked cramped spaces with nothing but exploding grenades I guess?

That strike/sharqi/mash rotation was the best.

 

[Jimnymebob]

I'd have to pick something from MGO2. Probably Gronznyj Grad. That was one of the few maps that was fun in all modes.

 

[Swimmer9800]

MW2:
Terminal
Rust
Highrise

I also played the shit out of the last or us multiplayer and loved most of the maps. S/O to University

 

[soundscream]

Brecourt Call of Duty 2

 

[G_Berry]

I've never been too much into multiplayer since I've got too much problems with motion sickness and therefore rather play at my own pace in rather slow games, but I definitely had the most fun playing America's Army back in the days and even joined a clan.

My favourite map must've been SF CSAR.



Plus, there has never been anything more dramatic and fun than playing CTF on Waterfall with some friends at a LAN party... haha, we've been screaming at each other, loved the vibes, this map is bringing back some nostalgia.

Shiiiiiiiiiit I forgot about that game. That sick hospital map where you had to get the VIP out. So good.

 

[Effect]

Arica Harbor from BC2 comes to mind for me.

Going have to go with Arica Harbor as well. That map is designed really well on both the offensive and defensive side. Yet allows for the some intense situations. What potentially breaks is snipers raining down fire but if you can control for that I think it's the best map in Bad Company 2 and I would even say for many other games. There are few if any glaring issues with I think.

 

[Maximus P]

Brecourt Call of Duty 2

It was never the same when they re-released it. The kill streaks and air strikes made it terrible.

Rifle only matches on cod2 were intense and so tactical.

 

[Conrad Link]

DC Lost Village!!

And Summit from Black Ops 1.

 

[Ensirius]

Dust 2

It is so well balanced it's unreal.

 

[Halph n Halph]

Wake Island was and still is a a favourite for me.
House On R6 seige is really good and I always enjoyed crossfire Cod 4

 

[SerTapTap]

Facing worlds, a true classic. Deck 16 is close.

 

[Htown]

Gotta be de_dust2

 

[Goodacre0081]

Mansion Gears1. and it has to be the 360 version because the UE remake doesn't have any rain/weather effects. kinda odd that the XB1 can't do the 10 year old original justice.

 

[Gunslinger]

Tie between de_dust(cs1.6) or avalanche (DoD original) or fy_iceworld(cs1.6)

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Bloodgulch will forever in my heart be the best fun I've ever had in a Multiplayer game.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Deck 16 from various Unreal games

 

[Catvoca]

Guardian from Halo 3 is a personal favorite. the Pit is amazing also. I'd also throw Terminal from Modern Warfare 2 and Vacant from COD 4 into the mix.

 

[Cheech]

Lava Giant from Unreal Tournament.

Yeah, I'm old.

 

[egocrata]

Deck 16 from various Unreal games

Indeed. That map flows so well it is not even funny.

 

[OBias]

Crossfire in Half-Life DM is my favorite.

 

[Gilby]

Badwater Basin! Every other payload map paled in comparison.

 

[diffusionx]

That's easy, it's 2fort. I can close my eyes and see that whole map.

From TFC, of course.

 

[Orion514]

Brecourt Call of Duty 2

Oh yeah. The memories.

LOVED rifle battles in those early CoD's.

 

[MrSpaM]

Deck16 all day

 

[mysocksarepink]

day of defeat - avalanche

 

[Bishop89]

Tie between de_dust(cs1.6) or avalanche (DoD original) or fy_iceworld(cs1.6)

i like you

day of defeat - avalanche

u 2

 

[Methamatics101]

Toujane all day everyday baby!!

This. Played countless rifles/sniper only matches on Toujane. CoD2 has some of the best maps in general too.

 

[mightyradish]

Uncharted 2 DLC's Highrise.

My favorite map in one of my favorite multiplayer experiences.

It's so fun to take over someone's sniping spot on the high roof by pulling them over the ledge and dropping them 40 stories to their death.

 

[king picollo]

Arguably

For Nostalgia purposes Relic, Halo 2.

 

[Bracket]

Since Hyrule Temple, Blood Gulch, and cp_dustbowl were already mentioned, I'll add an unmentioned favorite map of mine.

Skyrail (007: Nightfire

EDIT;

Forgot the online caveat. In that case, I'll go with cp_granary from Team Fortress 2.

 

[Strootman]

Raven down - Gears of War

Zanzibar - Halo 2

 

[Bishop89]

another great one

assault - cs 1.6

 

[nillah]

Def in top ten as far as multiplayer maps go

 

[Upinsmoke]

COD4 Vacant
