Favorite levels/maps design in a game? (single/multi)

[Necrozilla]

Singleplayer
1. "Gillies in the Mist" (C.o.D.4.:M.W.)
2. "Train stage" (Uncharted 2:A.T.)

Multiplayer
1. "2Fort" (Team Fortress 2)
2. "Overgrown" (C.o.D.4.:M.W.)

Both?
1. "Rooftop" (Def Jam: Icon) - Sending the opponent in the air with a well-timed helicopter-tail whiplash never gets old.

Agreed on the Prypiat level in Modern Warfare. I played the game not knowing much about the real-life city, then later I watched a documentary on television that showed footage of the city, and I was just overwhelmed with the feeling that I had been there.

I forget the name of the level, but there's a part in Castlevania Lords of Shadow where you're crossing this icy rock bridge and the camera pans out to show you the huge environment and an ice covered castle. I was WOWED by that and just stood there looking for a couple minutes. I think Castlevania is probably one of the better example of levels I have seen in a few years.

For single player, it would have to be when you return to Shadow Moses in Metal Gear Solid 4, and there are all of those flashbacks to MGS. For multiple player, it would have to be the city map in the Metal Gear Online. It's called Urban Ultimatum in MGS4. Don't remember if it had the same name in MGO from Subsistence.http://guides.ign.com/guides/714044/page_64.html

Doom 2 Level 1, multiplayer.

Goldeneye, the Facility, multiplayer.

UT series, the Deck, multiplayer.

Quake 3, Longest Yard, multiplayer.

Dustbowl in TF2 has always been one of my favorites. I can't get enough of that CP map.

 

[blueshinra]

Singleplayer:
Final Fantasy VII - Shinra Building
Portal -

Spoiler

The post-Testchamber area

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil - La-Lakoosha
Cave Story - probably Grasstown (aka Bushlands)
Every casino level in every Sonic game I've ever played, especially the NiGHTs Pinball sub-level from Sonic Adventure.

Multiplayer:
Unreal Tournament - Facing Worlds (I have many fond memories of playing this map with friends. Also, a little surprised that I'm the first one to list it)

 

[bigdaddybruce44]

Oh, yeah, that part of Portal would be up there for me, too.

MOHAA and Counter-Strike.

Better maps than any of the shit they make you shell out for.

Just like panzerfaust, anything from CS were just too good.

MP levels from Socom 2 are still the best in terms of objective based. If CoD could just carbon copy maps from CS and Socom, oh god it would that much better. LETS THE ING COMMUNITY MOD MAPS!

Honorable mentions:
-Twisted Metal 2 New York (roof jumping at its finest)
-Shadow Moses
-Train section in Uncharted 2
-Church in Uncharted
-CoD4 (god there is so many)
-CoD SP Russian campaign where you start off with no rifle
-Secret Cow Level in Diablo 2

MGS4 Act 4: When you revisit Shadow Moses island. Lots of fun nostalgia.

I would have picked COD4 Gillies in the Mist as well if not for the fact that the finale of that mission pissed me off to no end.

 

[hiccupleftovers]

All of GoldenEye - especially frigate
