Been there. It's incredibly easy if you know the way.

Waterworks: there are HUNDREDS of places to hide where you are in no danger unless someone else tries to hide there - for instance in the middle section, you can jump on the supports that lead into the water, they rise up sloping to light sections, this is my favourite sniping spot.

Acension: Somebody doesn't know about the carnheyholes. ;)


I know about those places in Waterworks. My statement still stands. When you're playing with people who know the maps well, you can't hide forever. Even up there on the supports you can be killed easily. You can hide all you want, but there's ALWAYS a way to get a person out of their hiding spot, or a way to circumvent it. That's what I've seen in just idley exploring. Not being able to play Live kinda cuts how much expirence I get with the maps. But I do know the majority of them.

To be honest, I haven't found ANY carney holes. Nor do I really care to unless one of my friends starts using one against me. Their entire purpose was to give one side, or one player, a slightly unfair advantage. It was all in good fun, yes, but I like to keep things completely fair. The only thing that topped the carney holes during Halo 2's development was a cheat the Programmers put in before a big team game. Basically, whenever a person on the programmers team hit the Back button, the entire opposing team died. I think they managed to get away with it two or three times before the other team caught on.

Hmm... After some thought, I think my favorite all-time map that came with a game would be the Mission 5.3 - Crash Site: Confrontation[, from Perfect Dark (PD happens to be GameSpot's highest-rated FPS ever, BTW, with 9.9/10.0, while HL2 got a mere 9.4) The only disapointment I really had was that as well-fitting it would've been for a final mission, there were still 5 more levels yet to go!

Ugh... Skybox no worky, but level still look good, IMO.

It's a shame that this map isn't availible as a multiplayer for the game, though it is admitedly very large for one; a deathmatch could take over an hour here.

This was a bit of a tought call, when I had to think about the other levels; 6.1 - Pelagic II has an amazing level of detail, and the mission is quite fun, even if it's a glorified rambo dash through the level while wearing a scuba suit. 4.1 - Area 51: Infiltration, which I also posted a picture of for Name That Game, also happens to be rather nice. (I'd also like to see somebody wholeheartedly claim that the upcomming Xbox game called Area 51 has not been heavily influenced, if not completely spawned, by Perfect Dark's Area 51 mission.)

Also, 1.3 - Datadyne Central: Extraction just has that Matrix-esque feel, the good part of it. There's nothing like scaling up through a skyscraper with barricaded hallways while fighting off droves of shotgun-wielding female bodyguards, and dodging that helecopter hovering outside the building trying to shoot you. (lots of glass shattering in the process)

As for the best add-on level to any game, that honor would hands-down have to go to The Dark Tide II: Nightfall, for Dark Forces. Patrick Haslow/Matt Hallaron, the makers of the level, posted shots for a JA multiplayer version of the level some time back, netting a SOTD or two. Unfortunately, I'm still currently fiddling with DF to get it to work on my nice new machine, so I can't post screenshots at this time.

TFC: The Well. I spent ages on that entire game. Probably the best game I ever played.

Diablo 2: Lut Gholein. Spent a while playing that too

Action Half-Life: Skylounge. I remember playing this with a friend who kicked my *** only using knives.

Jedi Knight: Bespin. The reason I joined this place

Tomb Raider 1 - Palace Midas.

Fantastic map, loved every moment of it. That and being scared that Pierre would show up. The music in Tomb Raider 1 is fantastic, and the mood is perfect. You can pick Tomb Raider up for a rediculous amount these days, and it's well worth the money.

Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 - Fuel Station Launch

(I have no idea why the screenshot is greeny) - Another fantastic map, which persuaded me to buy Jedi Knight as it was on the demo, and thus got me into Star Wars. I've played this map too many times, atleast three times a week for years! ... shoot me now! lol

Well Caen was good earlier, but now it's just a railgun war with K98 vs Enfield... Anzio is fast-paced and good IMO.

Zanzibar on Halo 2. Me and my friends have LOTS of fun on that map. Team Slayer on that map is the awsomemost game. We love to storm in from the beach side of the map.

JK: DF2 - Level 09 Fuel Station Launch

I have played this level far too many times to count. By far the best of all the DF2 levels. Design is excellent, many fun spots.

Halo - First half of Truth and Reconciliation

The desert plateau is an awesome place to fight, the environment is great, almost too good.
