Your Personal Favourite Multiplayer Maps/Tracks From Any Title

[Pylon_Trooper]

I was pondering this a while back, having been exposed to a few classics on various platforms via various titles...and was inclined to share a few personal favourites, as I hope you do to, in a mild, retaliatory way.

Onward!

Burnout 2 - Big Surf Shores

Nothing quite like the clean, efficient racing that Burnout 2 provided. I because weary of the way the Burnout franchise became so crash-oriented that it felt like Mountain Dew and Doritos were sponsoring the whole event. Burnout 2 and Big Surf Shores, burnouts chaining up to 30 and beyond, just bliss. One of the best courses ever.

Ridge Racer - Downtown Rave City

My arcade racer faourite of all time (big call, since I try to take the genre farily seriously), Ridge Racer on PSP is just so smooth and sleek. It hasn't aged a day since its release way back in 2004/2005. Best drift mechanic of any game, as artificial as some people seem to think it is. Regardless, this track explodes with light and colour...the tunnels of neon racing past, the sky bursting with fireworks as you race across the mid-track suspension bridge. So clean, so beautiful.

Killzone Liberation - Airfield

Possibly my heralded favourite action/shooter multiplayer map of all time. It is small enough, and vertical enough, to really have intense, exciting matches. Not to mention, the weapon placement is next to perfect. Just a brilliant map, for one-on-one to four-on-four and FFA. Kudos to Guerrilla and I hope to see a sequel.

Halo 2 - Lockout

I was never any good at Halo 2, terrible in fact, but this map ruled our sharehouse. It was 4 player link-up and, while I got my arse handed to me many a time, the map must be appreciated for its compact design and sheer channeling of action. Ah, the room of death...the two-story structure situated at one end of the map, near the plasma sword. A room of death indeed.

Unreal Tournament - Opposing Worlds

Low-gravity modifier, rockets, total fun. While everyone else was hooked on Quake 3, I was loving this one with unholy fervour. I rather dug this map, as featureless as it is. It just felt 'to the point'.

Unreal Tournament 2004 - Tokara Forest

Despite this video completely destroying one reason why I loved the map - the music - the jumping around was terrific. Loved the distance that could be travelled. What's more, landing on someone's head, flak-cannon first, was terrific fun.

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow - Canyon / Sandtrap

Possibly the dodgiest video on Youtube, but it doesn't detract from the awesomeness of this map. It's compact, it's vertical, the weapon placement is terrific and the tunnels are awesome. Not much more needs to be said apart from I hope E3 turns out a glimpse at a new PSP Syphon Filter.

...there ARE more I've got, but my lunch-hour just isn't long enough for more reminiscing. Gents, what about you? Your favourites?

Gridlock- Gears of War

This is THE map for Gears. So awesome, I can't wait for its remake in Gears 2.

Subway- Gears of War

This map is pretty godly too, so much fun with this map too. It's also the only other map besides Gridlock that is being remade.

All other games haven't had any lasting maps for me, so this is it.

Aladuf's Fall - Gears of War 3

Gears of War 4. Just you wait... if it doesn't happen then NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

Perfect Dark - Area 52
50% of our PD matches were on this map. Nice setting, big enough, many places to outsmart bots.

Golden Eye - Facility
Don't ask me what made it so great... it just worked.

Team Fortress 2 - The Orange levels. And the toy bedroom.
Just so cute and simple!

[Combine 017]

CoD3- Eder dam and Poisson.

TF2- Dustbowl and Gravel Pit.

edit: Pfff Perfect Dark Ravine was my favorite MP level.

[BlueFire]

Spear Pillar and Smashville in Brawl

[Pylon_Trooper]

Nice variety, I gotta say.

I'm going to add:

Flatout: Head On - Desert Oil Rig

It might just be due to the freshness of the game for me, but damn, I don't have the means to play Motorstorm, so this track especially does the trick. A riotious bash through the desert, smashing through all and sundry at ridiculous speeds. Love the strange balance of arcade and realistic physics the game has.

[Vampyr]

Halo 2: Lockout
Only place I was good at.

Mario Kart 64: Royal Raceway
The Castle detour was awesome, and it was a fun track.

Super Smash Bros. Melee: Hyrule Castle and The Great Fox.
I dunno why, just enjoyed those two.

Perfect Dark:
I don't remember what it was called, but it had a series of tunnels with sliding doors, and an open area with an entrance on either side, and a little building in the center that had some ammo and a gun in it, with metal shutters you could open.

[Fyacin]

Goldeneye: Pyramid and Stock (I think that's the name) were my favorite. Lots of fun places to hide proximity mines

Melee: Final Destination and Battlefield, simple yet so great.

Brawl: Smashville and delphino plaza both seem to work really well.

Halo: Blood gulch was so awesome.

America's Army had an awesome bridge level, really good balance I felt.

That's Area 52.

[flunkie44]

Every single map in Goldeneye on N64. Seriously. Me and my friends used to play multiplayer for hours upon hours.
