I've been reinstalling all of my favorite JK levels, searching for inspiration... and I was just curious to see what everyone else's favorites were... I'm hoping to find good ones that I have yet to see.

My top 5 are:

1. The Deep, by Nebula

2. Decimation, by MaDa

3. Reclusion, by Spiral

4. Old Mill, by Tee

5. Tomb of the Sands, by NorthChaos

Also, I don't think this community would be what it is without editors like Takimoto, Ortheza, Jeff Walters, Flexor, JM, Blood Asp, and Slug... but thass just me

What does everyone else like?

Dark Tempest 7 and 8 for NF guns, anything by tee, and drazen isle just for running around.

------------------
When bread becomes toast, it can never go back to being bread again.

Empire Night Club, Tee's Sarlacc level, Dark Citadel, Crust, Naythn's MLP3 submission (name eludes me), and everything KillerBee has ever produced (namely Riot!). Oh, and also Mormegil's CTF pack submission. I think it's called Halls of Mandos or something like that.

Oh yeah! I forgot about Emp Night Club! I wouldn't call it "inspirational", but prolly my most played level. Old school good times...

Word.

I think it's safe to say we all like our own levels. We wouldn't have released them if we didn't.

Fine.


CO was really my favorite map. Not any of its million mods, but the original...

Drazen Isle
Takimoto's Cathedral level
Old Mill
There was a King-of-the-Hill kind of level with a large tower that had all sorts of traps surrounding it, but I don't remember the name anymore.
Most of the Dralloc series. Namely Dralloc Arena. Beefcaike was an ok guy.
I was also always a fan of Tusken Battlegrounds.

Since no one said they had to be MP maps, I'm going to go ahead and say Siege on Derra IV.

I'll mention only the ones not mentioned yet.

Favorite SP levels:

• Warzone 2 & 3 (1 was meh)
• ANY CO-OP LEVEL! (though "Thief" and "Chaos Eternal" in particular)
• Planet Sith (yeah, there's something twisted I like about the bajillion bad guys, heh)
• Others I'm forgetting because I no longer have them on my 'puter

Favorite MP levels:

• any level by bug (Atlantis, Morpheus, and The Castle of Ice and Wind in particular)
• Neurotic from MLP4 (can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet)
• The Dark Tempest series (some more than others) and Tourniquet
• Hanger 217
• Valley of the Jedi Tower (still a LEC original fav)
• Purgatory (only because it was fun to explore)
• Duel of the Fates (the largest version -- SE I think)
• Cataclysmic Chasm (Spork pack)
• Saberdome Maximus (biased though on that one due to being in the JK clan that made it)
• From the MLP packs (not already mentioned): MLP1 - Wayrest Landing. MLP2 - Minas Fragith, Deep. MLP3 - Dry Heat.
• others I'm sure I'm forgetting

If you're searching for inspiration though, may I open the field to other videogames as well, or at least other FPSs/3-D games? The best inspiration, I feel, comes from outside the genre. Ridley Scott was not a fan of sci-fi films, for instance, when he made Alien.

I like many that Jaiph is probably referring to. While looking for the most visually appealing JK maps in order to convince some LAN gamers to play JK, Old Mill was the best looking one I could find.
