All from Gears 1. Good times....

^ This.

Specially Gridlock and Canals.

This map is godly. The flow of jump from one rooftop to the next. Jumping from a lower floor of one tower to the top floor of another. Leaving yourself exposed as you hug the wall trying to get the redeemer.

Deathmatch bliss.

Sadly, the newer games broke it. Double jumping ruined this map.

So there's a Tribes 2 map that I remember loving but the name of it has totally escaped me. It's snowy and symmetrical. The 2 bases are at ground level and surrounded by mountains. There's a valley that connects the two that tanks and whatnot can use.

The actual bases look like two small buildings with the flag stand in between them. There's a decently sized area inside the bases that extends underground. There's a vehicle station next to the bases. Up in the mountains each team has a fairly large tower thing shaped like a cross.

What was this map called? Anyone?

Edit: I found it!

[prodystopian]

Stalkyard from Halflife 1. This map was great for my playstyle (jump pack + shotgun).

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

My favorite maps from their respective games. I have a limited MP career.

Halo: Blood Gulch

Metal Gear Online: Groznyj Grad

Killzone 2: Salamun Market

Uncharted 2: The Village / The Plaza

I never bought the game but I really enjoyed Arica Harbor from the Bad Company 2 beta.

 

[killthekampers]

Halo 2 Midship or HaloCE Prisoner

 

[BosSin]

fuck it I'll say it aswell, de_dust2 baby

 

[legacyzero]

Call of Duty 4 CRASH for me please.

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

cs_assault from CS 1.6 because I used to dominate that map and also has my favorite kill - sniping a guy thru a smokescreen with the scout because I predicted exactly where he was going to go.

 

[GodofWine]

Warhawk...pretty much all the original ones.

 

[Princess Carl]

Halo 2:

Turf
Headlong
Relic
Terminal

I love them all equally

 

[the_prime_mover]

Warhawk...pretty much all the original ones.

Except Destroyed Capitol (Pre-jet pack DLC)! Though Eucadia probably stands above the rest.

and

Salamun Market (KZ2 version)

 

[RibbedHero]

For me it's a toss up between two Halo:CE maps : Blood Gulch and Boarding Action.

While Blood Gulch is an obvious choice, I really loved Boarding Action as it was arguably one of the greatest sniper maps ever. Used to play the hell out of it back in System Link days...

Edit, realised that isn't an online game. As online maps go I'd have to go with Crash from CoD 4 or Badwater Basin from TF2.

No, I'm not going to explain it.

If you agree, secret handshake.

Played the hell out of that map!

Edit: Removed huge picture.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't know what my favourite is but I spend the most time on Wake Island!

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

Hunting Lodge on Ghost Recon:Island Thunder for the xbox. In recent years I've cooled off multiplayer versus games but I played that game and map for HOURS.

 

[AwShucks]

Abandoned from the original SOCOM

This. Annoys me it's pre-order from gamestop for Socom 4. I hope they atleats let me pay like a buck or two for it on release day.

 

[Spookie]

Quoting for GOD DAMN TRUTH.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

COD MW2 STRIKE

Canals
Fuel Depot

MW2:
Afghan

 

[scorpscarx]

Second'd. Especially the Allied Assault map, remember that amazing menu music?

 

[AgentChris]

So many to choose from in COD. My personal favorite is from Uncharted 2.
Village - Uncharted 2

 

[dorkimoe]

Fuck dust2 and all of you dickriders that support it.

Fuck it up its ass.

this

its why i quit playing cs, every fucking server is dust2 24/7

anyway. CS_MILITIA WOOO. And every warhawk map

 

[J-Rzez]

My fav map? That's really hard to pick, I can easily say which IP it's from though, SOCOM. They have some of the greatest designed maps ever implemented in a shooter. By far it's quality of maps blows away every other shooter out there, easily. It's just too hard to pick... Probably any map from SOCOM outside of Shadow Falls? But man, Abandoned, Desert Glory, Xroads, Frostfire, Night Stalker, Blizzard, Ruins, Rats Nest, Fish Hook, Fox Hunt, Vigilance, Sujo, Citadel, Enowapi... You can just go on and on.

 

[Snuggles]

Salamun Market in Killzone 2 was great.

It's a big map that's great for the objective based gameplay of Warzone mode and it puts all the classes to use. I always enjoyed long Warzone matches on this map.

 

[Kuran]

Marathon 1
Mars Needs Women

Marathon 2
Thunderdome v2

Unreal Tournament
Deck 16

 

[Nester]

Power Station from Shadowrun

Great map for Raid. Plenty of different areas to fight in and use different strategies, wide open outside to glide and shoot long range, and close and compact inside for more intense close range fights. Great teleport lines and 5 or so levels to fight in, including a basement.

Glad someone else posted this. Such a good level. I'll always stay on for one more match if Power Station comes up.

 

[alr1ght]

Same as OP. Salamun Market (KZ2 version. KZ3 version is turrible, well maybe not turrible, but not great).

 

[The Xtortionist]

3 way tie between Lobby Small, Nerve Center Small (Shadowrun) and Midship (Halo 2).

 

[GQman2121]

Socom II - Chain Reaction

 

[johnFkennedy]

Afghan

 

[Mr Nightman]

Love me some harvest day conquest on Bad Co 2, I mean where else can I do this?

Also loved Carentan, France from cod 2 multi as well

There are plenty of servers that play a variety of maps. Dust2 just to happens to be an easy and incredibly balanced map. Other honorable mentions would be: Inferno, Nuke, and Mill.

Everyone who picks Assault is a dirty Terrorist camper. Assault is probably the least balanced map in the game. For cs_ maps, Militia is one of the best.

 

[DanielJr82]

Port Valdez and Harvest Day from Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

 

[MMaRsu]

I need to start playing CS again... brilliant game. At least 1.6 was, it's been so long since I played it.

 

[friskykillface]

it's probably been mentioned but i love Terminal from MW2, always a good match on that map B^)

 

[Jakeh111]

2fort from TFC or

[Kalnos]

Campgrounds quake series

 

[revolverjgw]

Eucadia - Warhawk

Pretty sure I already posted in this thread last year, and I hope I posted this

 

[Unknown One]

De_Aztec. I have very fond memories of this map. It's an adrenaline rush when both teams are aggressive and it's the first CS map I played.

 

[Kuran]

Rapid Waters

small, simple, incredibly fun.

<3 tac ops

Wow, brings back memories.

Does anyone remember the revolutionary Infiltration mod for Unreal Tournament 1? That had some incredible maps too. I miss those days! The mod-scene was incredible back then.

 

[KKRT00]

Why would You play Stalingrad in CoD? ;p

BTW awesome choice. MoH:AA had so amazing maps. I would add:
The Hunt
V2 Facility
Destroyed Village
