Favorite Videogame Level(s)

Warning: thread contains spoilers

Pretty self-explanatory. Post your favorite level(s), name of the game, and a brief description of why you like it (if you want).

Mine:

"Game Over" - COD4: Modern Warfare (Great ending, very well done)
"Sins of the Father" - COD4: Modern Warfare (I LOVE the chase scene, and the music that goes with it)
""Proving Grounds" - Bioshock (I really like the way it wraps everything up, and how the scene plays out)

 

Half Life 2: Ravenholm and Super Gravity Gun Level (last one).

Ravenholm just had this terrific atmosphere that was unmatched. The last level since its impossible to use the super gravity gun and not like it.


Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines: Haunted House

Only time that I was actually scared by a videogame.

 

Crysis - Early-Mid game jungle levels
HL - Blast Pit
HL2 Ep2 - Final strider battle
Bioshock - Fort Frolic

 

LOZ OOT -> Fighting and killing Ganondorf

 

Medal of Honor Allied Assualt - Dday level

 

Baldur's Gate 2 - The Underdark/Saradush - Epic

Resident Evil 4 - First Boss - Made me jump when it appeared

 

TF2: turbine
CS 1.6: aztec, dust 1&2

 

MGS3: The fight with the boss in the jungle (the old guy).

 

Dead Space - the mining deck level. Lots of epic moments.

 

COD4: Shock and Awe\Aftermath
That was the most immersed I've ever felt in a game. They even let you crawl out of the helicopter.

Mass Effect: Going through the Prothean archives before the final battle on the Citadel.

Kotor: The great walkway in Kashyyyk (probably my favorite rpg setting) and the epicness in the Star Forge.

 

Excellent choice. That was a very well-done level.

One of my favorites is the Gardens of Kadesh from Homeworld. That game had a lot of epic, awesome setpieces, but the Gardens really stand out.

 

DDO...Zoning in to fight Velah, the dragon. I have yet to be in a party with a 1st timer(myself included) that they didn't just say that was the most amazing thing they had seen in a video game.

 

Bioshock - Fort Frolic - Tons of action and it takes the already spooky atmosphere in Bioshock to another level. No matter how many times I've played it it still creeps me out.

 

BioShock - Fort Frolic
It's so beautiful, and yet so disgusting.

 

Awesome level, now that I remember.....those multi-ion frigates really pack a punch and too bad you didn't get access to the Missile Destroyer till you finished the hard parts of the Garden

 

Metal Gear Solid: Sons of the Patriots - final boss fight. Why? Because it was epic. No health bar and everything looked like a cutscene. It rocked my world.

Metal Gear Solid - Psycho Mantis boss fight. Why? Because it was innovative and awesome and never done before.

Final Fantasy 7- final Sephiroth fight. Why? Because vengeance never tasted so good, and after three discs of fighting, this ending was all you needed.

Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty - the metal gear ray fight. Why? It was you against like 5 billion metal gear rays and all you had was your trusty bazooka and silky smooth hair.

Prince of Persia 1- the first level. Why? It was downright beautiful.

 

High Charity-Halo 2 (Lots of flood to frag, and very challenging at Legendary mode)

 

I agree with all who said the COD4 ending.

Diablo 2 the first time you fight Diablo - "Not even DEATH can save you from me!"

And probably every single scene/level in Half-Life 2 and the Eps.

EDIT: And the Lava Reef Act 1 from Sonic 3

 

Half-Life 2: Ravenholm. It was scary as hell, unexpected, and generally over the top.
Call of Duty 4: All Ghillied Up. Extended sniping/stealth mission. Loved it.
BioShock: Fort Frolic. Echoing what everyone else has said about it.
Halo: Silent Cartographer. This is where the story-line really picks up, and it has probably the best landscape graphics of the entire game.

 

Both the first level and the final boss of Sonic Adventure 2

The citadel of HL2

The tanker ship mission and the bonus end mission of COD4

The space station in Megaman Legends 2

The final part of the rural farm campaign of L4D

 

warrock: montana map lol

 

Rainbow Road Mario Kart 64

 

LOL. That is probably my least favorite level of any video game I have ever played

 

Starcraft: the "bunker defense" timed map
WoW: Black Temple (yeah, I went there)

 

I soloed black temple once lol. not even kidding but was on a private server.

my rogue with donor gear had 100% dodge so i could not die, but it still took like 2 hours to kill a boss.

 

Mile high club-cod4

Took me a while to beat it on expert =x

 

Psychonauts - The Milkman Conspiracy
Mirrors Edge - Mall Level
STALKER - hmmmm...Chernobyl
KotOR - Star Forge

 

Call of Duty 4: All Ghillied Up, loved it.......
final fantasy7: all three ultima weapon battles epic, (and also getting omnislash)
syphon filter: stronghold in Uzhhorod classic stealth action all the way through

*NOTE*OP may need to make a note in first post, *potential spoilers*

 

Good idea.

 

COD 4: All Ghillied up
Halo: Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals
Halo 3: I enjoy the entire game, specifically though I find the first level to be amazing. As well as the Ark.
Mass Effect: Pretty much all of Ilos (Prothean Planet)
Half-Life 2: This game scares the CRAP out of me. First game ever to scare me. I've really enjoyed the whole game
Portal: ALL

 

no one has yet to mention:

GTA 4 : Four leaf clover

?!!?!

 

Stalingrad Entrance - Call of Duty (So epic for a game in 2003, thousands-- or seemed like thousands things happening at once)

Museum of technology vault tech exhibit - fallout 3- (Extremely well done and mysterious.)

Lot more but I am very lazy right now.

 

Yes, awesome mission that was.

I also really liked All Ghillied Up from COD4.

And there was a custom Crysis map called "The Resort" that I just finished yesterday, and that was amazing.

The snow levels from Crysis Warhead, particularly the part with the frozen in aircraft carrier. They looked awesome, and the feel was awesome as well. The levels in the mine were pretty awesome as well.

Whiskey Hotel from MW2.

I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

 

Mdk 2-first level
halo-silent cartographer
cod4-all ghillied up
crysis warhead-frozen paradise

 

lol.. never had any interest in BioShock or gaming in particular, but since No.2 is coming I'm playing through it and haven't reached Fort Frolic yet, but it sure sounds like something to look foward to! I love it so far though!

 

COD4 - Death From Above (I LOVE the AC-130 )
Modern Warfare 2 - Pretty much any level with the predator

 

Nice choice.

I have played a bit of that game, and that level really draws you in.


How about a little older one:

Clash of the Titans II, part 2 from Freespace 2 (final mission).

You have to try to protect your fleet from a wild assault while watching a timer countdown the time to a supernova. If you are too slow, the supernova takes you out. High pressure situation. First time I did it I forgot about the timer and was running for the portal. I missed.


Even older:

Battlezone (the 3D version), USA side, Final mission.

You have to go blow up an enemy ship. Catch is that the moon you are on is unstable, and a timer counts down the time. If you are too slow, you die.

And yes: even older

Starfox 64, Venom "Easy" path on expert mode. The swirling, martial music makes the level epic (absolute onslaught of enemy ships).

Btw, as a sidenote:

Lamest Ending for a game: Sonic Heroes, Metal Overlord. Boss is a pushover.

 

pretty much any area from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

 

It's very hard to think of a single game to put on this post. After reading through all of these posts these are all epic. This is like a consolidation of my favorite memories.

If I had to pick one I would have to say B.O.B. This was a 2D SNES game. There was a level where you drive a hover car thing that is super fast and gets destroyed easily. You fly through a maze (if I remember correctly). I spent countless hours trying to make it to the end before the timer ran down. I was young and of course inexperienced but this was the most fun I ever had on a single level.

 

No mentions of batman arkham asylum yet. Playing through the game right now and im really loving the boss fights and most of the levels.

OOT fight with ganon is pretty epic too..out of all the levels in that game I'd say the forest temple.

 

Zelda Ocarina of Time: The Water Temple

 

CoD 4: Death from Above

 

the game ending level in in COD 4... epecially the part when soap is lifted into the helicopter.. and the news presenter talks... it makes me cry for no reason

Also the last lvl in MW2 is awesome

 

Fallout 3: Tranquility Lane
GoW2: The Sisters of Fate Dungeon on titan difficulty

and ill have to 2nd that Zelda Water temple lvl, great stuff

 

Phobos anomaly - Doom
Surface tension - Half-life 1
The first strider battle in Half-life 2

There are so so many... but I guess those are one of my favorite ones in the FPS genre.

The second to last level on the Soviet campaign of Read Alert 2 also comes to mind... and so does Omega in Starcraft brood war (even if I could never complete it )

 

Call of Duty: Battle for Stalingrad
Banjo & Kazooie: Freezeezy Peak
Red Alert: Any Tanya Level
Final Fantasy 8: Anytime I was in Esthar
Conker Furs Bad Day: Nazi Teddy Bear D-Day Level / Matrix Level /Alien Level (easily my favourite overall)

 

Makes you cry?

That boss was an absolute

 

For a couple older games:

Freespace 2: The first time you run into the Juggernaut - you're in a thick foggy nebula, and you see a distant phase jump signal. You hit your boosters to go check it out, when suddenly a monstrous devil of a capital ship, ten times larger than the biggest terran capital ship, appears right out of nowhere, almost barreling through your tiny one-man fighter. Almost made me pee myself the first time. Still chills my spine every time.

Lots of good levels in that game. Haven't played it? Head on over to GoG, it's only $6, and then go download the Source Code Project mod to update the graphics and textures - it's an old game, but it looks beautiful even by today's standards, and runs well on most machines.

Also favorite levels: just about anything from Painkiller - too many to choose from. If I had to, though, the haunted forest.

Good choice! Most levels were rocktastic in that game, but that particular one was pure brilliance from start to finish!

 

Many in the CoD series throughout (CoD3 and WaW dont count. Treyarch sucks)
Illos in Mass Effect 1.
The Collector base in Mass Effect 2.

The last boss in Trine

Anyone played Thief: Deadly Shadows? The Shalebridge Cradle asylum level was downright terrifying.

 

yes it does shadow for no strange reason... anyways about COD 1... is directx 9 or Directx7?
