Hyrule (Can't remember if that's the right name) from Super Smash Bros. Melee

dm17 (q3)

Mario Kart 64

Any DoTA map. <3 Almost perfect

All these plus Facility/Complex/Temple from Goldeneye and Blood Gulch in Halo.

 

[Fracas]

Gran Turismo 3

That's Gran Turismo 3? That looks sick for PS2. Looks better than a chunk of current-gen titles.

 

[kittens]

Halo 3 : The Pit. Probably my favorite Halo map ever. Beaver Creek is a close second.

No, it isn't. That's GT5 (I don't think GT3 has the Dodge Challenger or the current 207 GTi, for starters). I'm going with the Beginner track from Daytona USA 2: Battle On The Edge

Why? It's an oval inside a giant dome that includes waterfall. And in my local arcade I was the undisputed king on it.

Sorry man, I wasn't paying enough attention grabbing those screens. The Challenger should've been a giveaway as well, and the fact that it just looks damn good. Thanks to guitarhero for clarifying. I'll take his word about the 207 GTi, too, but man, that screen looks kinda shitty if it's GT5. It still uses flat crowds? :-/ That's pretty sad to hear. I don't have a PS3, so GT4 is the last I played.

Deck 16



Facing Worlds

From UT. Also, pretty much everything from Halo 1, it's hard to choose, so many good ones. Prisoner, Blood Gulch, the list goes on.

Fuck. Those UT maps were amazing - easily the greatest maps I've played in a shooter to date. I remember my brother would constantly camp the redeemer spawn on Deck 16 - I'd fill the whole room with razor discs and force him down. Stupidly addictive game.

Honorable mention to Blood Gulch and its variants in Halo. Certainly not my favourite map in the series, but easily the one I have played with friends the most, and definitely the one I have had the most laughs in.

Finally,

Lost Temple - Starcraft.

 

[ilMikhail]

Area 52 from Perfect Dark, which I remade in Reach.

this and War Machine from Gears of War

 

[Neverfade]

A goddamn shame the old gray mare ain't what she used to be. Hate the Reach engine.

 

[Amagon]

No love for Blood Gulch from Halo???

Edit: I see it was honorable mention. It was The go-to map back in the good ole LAN days when the Xbox came out. Good times!

 

[Uriah]

Dustbowl is bad and people who mention it should feel bad.

Absolutely. And it was awesome for the long forgotten rally game mode.

I didn't mind the expansion it got under the retrofitted Coagulation name in the sequel.

 

[Relax.MX]

Very personal choice:

Archives + Only Explosives(granade, mines, etc.) on GoldenEye

[Elixist]

Ivory tower Halo 2, remake for reach was great but you end up playing on sandbox maps instead, twas why i quit reach oh well.

 

[Malo]

Almost any map from Halo 2.

 

[Liberty4all]

Scarabrae (Tribes 1)

 

[red731]

dm17 (q3)

ctrl + f -q3dm17 nope and then saw your post

NICE

 

[dreamfall]

I'm not much a multiplayer gamer these days. But some of my favorites definitely included:

Las Hermanas (Red Dead Redemption)

Snowy Canals (Flashback Map from Gears 2)

I'm looking for a good picture of my favorite NBA Street court.

Kyoto in Bloom from DOA series.

 

[Syph Medwes]

this and War Machine from Gears of War

That reminds me of my favourite Gears of War map, Blood Drive from Gears 2. So many hours spent playing Annex on that map.

 

[joe2187]

Tower of Arrogance: Darkstalkers 3

Fetus of God:

iron horse iron terror

The pics dont do it justice, playing them in motion is amazing.

yeap great map probably the best from Gears2 , still rocks in Gears3

 

[Apeopleman]

Fuel, from MW2's DLC

 

[rCIZZLE]

Another one I really enjoy but didn't say earlier: city street large from rogue spear.

(not the best picture but best I could find from google)

 

[vixlar]

Arica Harbor Rush on Battlefield Bad Company 2: I like it because it changes the mood of the game in each base. You begin in a miltar base, then a city, later some kind of train station, a hangar and you finish in a construction site. Really amazing.

Baby Park on Mario Kart Double Dash (I think the DS version is not that amazing): Seven laps of destruction. Hint: play it with the maximum level on items.

In Mario Party 6 there was a board where you must chase Donkey Kong for getting the star, but in the night the direction of the board changes and Donkey becomes Bowser, and if he reach you, it steals you a star (or something really bad, i don't remember).

 

[Hartt951]

Loving this thread already.

Kashyyyk: Docks - Star Wars Battlefront

Phoenix Base and Skyrail - James Bond 007 Nightfire

Wow, these two brought back memories.

Calypso Casino (R6 Vegas)

Yes! I loved that map.

 

[DSix]

Facility/Felicity

I also have some love for Tribes 2 Katabatic and a few other great maps. Ascend is doing well too, too bad the loadouts are garbage.

 

[GlamFM]

COD 4 Wintercrash

 

[Shimesaba]

Fountain of Dreams (Melee), aka "The Sheik stage"

 

[Gintoki]

Block Fort - MK64 Batte Mode

Loved the upper/lower mechanic that made for fun shenanigans.

Yea, best battle stage. Had so much fun back then playing it with my cousins.

 

[LQX]

Medal of Honor

Stalingrad

Call of Duty 4

Crossfire

 

[famousmortimer]

Garden of War - Warcraft 2

Almost chose Friends, but GoW was much more tactical. And, despite god of war and gears of war, whenever someone says (or types) GoW i still think of this map.







Crossroads - Originally in Socom 2, also in Socom Confrontation.

One of the best and most balanced - without being mirrored - maps in MP history.









Darien Network - MAG

Really gonna miss zipper.




CS_Militia - Counter Strike

I love most counter strike maps, but there was something about this one, especially early on, that just felt amazing. All shooter maps looked like Quake or like DE_Dust... and then we were in a yard and a house. So fun.

 

[EatChildren]

I always hated Hyrule Temple from Melee. Way too large leading to running around. I have friends who love it and I loathed when they'd pick it.

Anywho, my picks.

Q3DM7 - Temple of Retribution

My favourite Q3A map. Something about clicks with me. Most of my matches have been played on Q3DM7.

UT - Lava Giant

Easily my favourite CTF map of all time. Fucking love the shit out of it. So many late night LAN sessions all on Lava Giant.

TF2 - Badwater Basin

TF2 is all Payload to me. Easily the best game mode available that makes excellent use of the entire team, and Badwater Basin is probably the best map for it. I cant think of a class on either side that isn't viable here.
