Memorable/favourite Multiplier Maps

    So i was reading this article on IGN (Whatever :D) about the science of multiplayer mapping and it got me thinking of all the amazing maps that have hooked me into MP games over the years. These are three of my favorite maps from different games.

    Return To Castle Wolfenstein - Beach !

    This map started it all for me ! I would have only been 13/14 at the time, so maybe it felt more epic to me than some of the more seasoned gamers at the time... but i loved this map, it was like being part of that scene in saving private ryan, running up the beach getting destroyed by all the camping assholes in the base ! So much fun.


    De_Dust 2 - Counterstrike

    I don't think any map has ever been as iconic and relevant for as long as this one, its been the staple map for counter strike since its release in 2001ish. Still, nearly 13 years on, its the most played map in CS, both casually and in competitive play. Loved it since i got my first headshot on long, and still love it now.

    2fort - Team Fortress

    2fort_tfc.jpg

    For me it was always between CS and TFC as to which game i would get addicted to ! While CS won in the end, this map gave me so many great memories. From the ridiculous sniper duals, to the hours on end practicing my conc jumping from one end to the other, it always had me hooked. Even in TF2 it remains my favorite map and the first map i'll search for when i go to play. Never played the orginal quakeworld mod, but im sure it was just as awesome in it too !



    There really hasn't been that many maps in recent multiplayer shooters that have had that lasting effect on me, but that could just be down to youth/nostalgia !

    Has anyone else got any favorite maps that they would play the game just for that map ? Doesn't even have to be from a shooter or online game.

    I like Aztec in CS. Good map and quite fun to play. Double_Cross in TF2 is another that I like, decent map for playing as a sniper.

    I'd agree with Dust2 and 2Fort, both some of my favourite maps.

    From Battlefield, Strike at Karkand, and from BF3, Operation Metro and Damavand Peak (mostly for the cliff jump).

    Outside of shooters, Kasyr Lutein from Dawn of War was my favourite map there

    that really small one on mw2, only because i somehow managed a game of ranked free for all where i clocked up 80-something kills against 3 deaths. to give you an idea of how incredibly unlikely that was, i'd usually have maybe 10-12 kills and 8-12 deaths when i play COD (i dont have the time to put into getting good). that one round made me look like a COD god, and i'll always cling to it. sure, the chopper did most of the work while i hid in a pipe, but it was a good day to be me

    Facing World - Unreal Tournament

    I only ever played this against bots with one or two friends thrown in. Whether it was balanced or well constructed, I have no idea, I never played it competitively. The setting itself is fantastic, to use an overused word; fighting on a rock hurtling through space is nothing short of epic

    Facilty - Goldeneye

    The game that introduced console's to the fps genre and the best map from it. Similar to what Halo did for xbox more recently. People will claim both games aren't even that good in the first place and they do not hold up at all these days. You really had to be there at the time in your friends kitchen playing 4-player over and over to truly understand.

    We still play Dawn online, and we mostly play that map. Best by a mile.

    Powerzone - Bomberman

    You start with maximum upgrades and there's no blocks. Pure mayhem

    Bomber2--article_image.jpg


    Longest Yard - Quake 3

    This map is constantly played in 5th gear as there is nowhere to hide

    Blood Gulch - Halo

    The one with the tanks. I remember hooking up few xboxes and playing 8 player ctf on this map.

    Shipment Cod 4. Was about 4 times smaller that the smallest map in MW2. MW2 had great maps Wasteland Highrise Favela Sub base Carentan in Cod2. Arica Harbor and Hamburger hill in BFBC2. As for BF3 Canals for tdm, Damavand Peak for rush.

    Yup, if you play through Dark Crusade or Soul Storm, still plenty of people around playing. Most nights I'm on, there's 30 or so people playing in the lobby. Didn't like Dawn of War 2 MP, so have been playing DOW and the addons on and off for years.

    Can think of a few off the top of my head including Medal Of Honor Rising Sun map with the 2 ships.

    Should be a good thread if updated properly and should bring back some good memories. Surely there was some Timesplitters Future Perfect maps also that were good? The disco map?
