Best of All Time: FPS multiplayer maps

Across all platforms and generations, what are your favorite multiplayer fps maps? User made maps count too.

My favorites are probably Ultraviolence and Aerowalk (Quake user made), dm2 (Quake), q2dm1, q3dm6... Tempest, Turbine & Deck6 (UT 99), Dust and Cobblestone (Counterstrike), and every map in Rune because you could beat someone to death with their own severed limbs

Guardian from Halo 3. Forever and always.

de_dust 2 (CS), DM17 (Quake III), cp_dustbowl (TF 2), Vacant (CoD 4).

Caen (Day of Defeat)

Archives (Goldeneye 007)

Vacant (CoD 4) maps

These are of course a reflection of the two FPS' I've only really spent quite a bit of time on.

hang 'em high from halo 1

Chinese from Timesplitters

Strike at Karkand from Battlefield 2

de_inferno from Counter Strike.

Goldeneye: Complex, Archives

Halo: Blood Gulch

Wolfenstein ET: Gold Rush, Battery

BF2: Wake Island (come on now)

Blood Gulch, Wake Island, Dust, Dust 2, Caen, Avalanche

Goldeneye 007: Facility, Temple (Aztec?)

That's all I got, I don't like multiplayer FPS.

Quake III's DM17 and Unreal Tournament's Facing Worlds are far and away my favourites.

The Facility Goldeneye map is also pretty good, as is de_dust for CounterStrike.

Quake - dm4 - The verticality of this map blew me away at the time.

Duke Nukem 3D - dhouse (user made) - Amazing 1v1 level.

1942 - Wake Island - Spent hours on that multiplayer demo.

Gotham City Impostors - Crime Alley - My favorite map from this amazingly fun yet tragically overlooked multiplayer FPS.

Team Fortress (Quake Mod) - 2fort4 - Wasted whole nights camped in the flag room with pipebombs in the entry way to support and protect my buddy's sentry gun in the hall. Jerks like us are the reason new 2fort has 2 paths to the flag.

I've been playing some of the new UT4 alpha, and it has a remake of Deck16 that feels just like it did 15 years ago. The funny part is it's still a mostly-untextured test map, but that just makes it look more like it did in UT99. There's a new Facing Worlds too, although I usually just play DM. Give the new UT a try if you haven't yet, it is way more solid than the "alpha" label implies.

Deck motherfucking 16

Also Morpheus and Facing Worlds

Anzio and Harrington (Day of Defeat):

Day of Defeat offers some of the best infantry capture and hold gameplay and the maps play a big role in this. Anzio and Harrington are good examples of that. Multiple parts of the maps designed for different playstyles (short and long range) and good flag placement so you have to split up the team to gain control.

DM13 (Quake 3)

Not the best Quake map around, but I always liked it. Wasn't a big fan of the rail gun when the game came out and this map doesn't have one. And the whole design combination of flesh and gothic is kinda cool.

WMD (Black Ops):

One of the better CoD maps. It works for various gamemodes and it has multiple area's you have to fight over to control the game, yet you couldn't camp your ass off because each area had multiple entry points you couldn't cover from one place.

Caspian Border (Battlefield 3):

A very good map for combined warfare. Not too flat so infantry don't get mowed down by vehicles all the time and not too much empty space between capture points, but still spacious enough for enjoyable vehicle gameplay.

UT Facing Worlds.

Almost any Big Team Battle Map from Halo 3 with vehicles: Rat's Nest, Standoff, Avalanche, Valhalla (not Sandbox except for custom games). And of course High Ground and Last Resort for smaller based vehicular bullshit.

V2 Rocket Facility and Stalingrad from Medal of Honor - Allied Assault.

Oh.... the days ive spent in those....

The Xephar Holy Hand Grenade fort map for Worms Armageddon.

No one knows what the fuck I'm talking about, but that's fine.

I played a lot of splitscreen Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death on a map called Block War. I think we also turned on some sort of low gravity ragdoll cheat to enhance the experience.

Wake Island & Iwo Jima BF1942, Gulf of Oman BF2, Dust and Office from CS, Mines of Moria and Helm's Deep from CS:S zombiemod, Training Ground Timesplitters 2, 2Fort.

These are all very nice thoughts duders, but there really is only one answer:

2Fort from a Quake 1 mod called "Team Fortress." I hear some people liked that.

Quake 3 DM 17, best map of all time. All other answers are wrong.

Halo's Blood Gulch is also up there.

Maybe I'm just being nostalgic but these were the first maps that came to mind for me as well. Fucking perfection.

From Halo 2: Lockout and Turf

Halo's Blood Gulch for just all around ridiculousness, but my favorite map of any MP game was definitely Night Stalker from Socom. Desert Glory was also really solid.

Cellar Rats (Medal of Honor: European Assualt)

Pipeline (COD 4)

Terminal (COD MW2)

Shima Field (Medal of Honor: Rising Sun)

de_mirage, specifically the CSGO version.

Pipeline, from America's Army 2.

Dawnville or Dustbowl. Classics.

@pingu44: not fps. Banned

Edit to redo this whole post.

Quake 1: Q1DM6 The Dark Zone

Quake 3: Q3DM6 Campgrounds

UT99: Deck16

UT2k4: Roughinery

CS 1.6: Aztec

CS GO: Motel

Halo: Hang 'em High

Halo 2: Midship

Halo 3: High Ground

Halo Reach: Sword Base

Team Fortress Classic: Dustbowl

Team Fortress 2: Whatever that first Pipeline map was.

Call of Duty 4: Vacant

Modern Warfare 2: Favela

Black Ops: Nuketown

I could go on. Of those listed, I have the most fond memories of Campgrounds, so I would put my vote towards that.

I imagine people would say Facing Worlds, but in all actuality Facing Worlds is not a very good map, just a popular/iconic one. Lot of other UT and Quake 3 maps are solid though. Aside from custom maps Operation Overlord comes to mind.

In a modern sense Station from World at War is a shitload better than every other CoD map I've ever seen, just perfect for momentum, flanking and so forth; once had a knife kill streak of 8-9 on the map (my mouse was broken) just due to how flexible the movement options are.

Assuming this won't be expanded to other genres the Castel Gandolfo map from AC Brotherhood and Revelations is probably the best multiplayer map in anything period; just a perfect example of how to make non symmetry feel like symmetry; where anyone can be a threat anywhere on the map at any time. Brewery DM from AC3 is similar and regular ass Brewery is also good. Grey Rampart non rush from MGSV on Comm Control is fantastic, Arathi Basin in World of Warcraft and Nordenwatch from Warhammer Online are the best for the MMO genre.

Lockout/Blackout in Halo 2 and 3 comes to mind.

Blood Gulch. Exodus Blue. That one map in UT 2004 with the trains.

The Dark Zone (DM6) in Quake 1.

de_cache and de_mirage from CS:GO. I'm personally not a huge fan of de_dust2, but I appreciate it's balance and longevity. In terms of community maps for that game, aim_agtexture_city_advanced is pretty good. Also most of the maps in COD4.

@thiago123: If you wanna talk QuakeWorld Team Fortress then you're talking Canal Zone (canalzon). Why anyone bothered to continue making maps after that is beyond me.

Great topic!

Socom on PS2 - Abandoned, Rat's Nest, Frost Fire, Desert Glory, Blizzard, Blood Lake

MAG - Asheron Refinery

Modern Warfare - Crash

Black Ops - Nuketown, Summit

Battlefield 4 - Siege of Shanghai

Overgrown and Crash in COD4. The only map I never cared for in that game was Wetwork.

I also really like all the maps in Titanfall. That games mobility make them all fun to play on.

Medal of Honor Allied Assault- V2

Battlefield 2-Strike at Karkand

Counterstrike Source cs_office

Fear Combat-Campus

CS:GO-shoots

Battlefield Bad Company 2-Laguna Presa

Battlefield 3-Caspian Border

Wetwork is probably the only bad map in that game.

Well, lets get some 3rd person shooter maps in here too

Blizzard- Demolition- Alaska = SOCOM US Navy SEALs
Fox Hunt- Escort- Albania = SOCOM 2
Sujo - Breach- Brazil = SOCOM 2
Enowapi- Breach- Brazil = SOCOM 2

Actually, there are too many fantastic SOCOM maps between the first two games to name them all.

Perfect Dark had some great maps, with Warehouse being one of the most complex and varied. Area 52 was great for some of our custom maps, especially one hit kills with laptop guns and cloaking to get in that area with the four towers.

And Battle Creek in Halo 1 made way for a ton of memorable matches.

Dustbowl

So many mentions of ones I love here which is heartening. Gonna throw in a shout-out to the pretty much all the Surf maps for CS:S although I can't remember them by name.

Halo series: Hang em High, Battle Creek, Last Resort, High Ground, Valhalla, Standoff, Rat's Nest
