Algol is an eclipsing binary star system 92.8 light years from Earth, also known as The Demon Star and Beta Persei. The Algol planetary system is where most of the Phantasy Star series takes place; known as Algo in Phantasy Star II.
A remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved map Sidewinder, Avalanche is a downloadable map for Halo 3. Its large scale and plethora of vehicles make it ideal for Big Team Battle and Team Objective gametypes.
A town full of grown up children who migrated from Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.
The Black Mesa Research Facility is the massive underground complex that serves as the setting for the original Half-Life and its three expansion packs.
Blackout is one of the downloadable maps added to Halo 3. This was one of the most highly requested maps in the game, as it is a remake of Lockout, a popular Halo 2 map revered for its competitive play.
A triple max prison located on a barren planet, surrounded by a minefield and constantly ravaged by sandstorms. No one has ever escaped from Butcher Bay, except for one person: Richard B. Riddick.
A large building constructed of stone, used as a defensive structure. They usually date from the Middle Ages.
Underground passageways or underground graves.
A mostly exact remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer map Chill Out, Cold Storage was a downloadable map released for free by Bungie during their annual Bungie Day celebration on July 7, 2008.
A country in South America.
The floating city that serves as the primary setting for BioShock Infinite
A well-rounded map, Construct is favored by many competitive players for its simple-yet-chaotic play mechanics. Various long hallways and open spaces require loads of team communication, but has enough cover that it doesn't feel unfair.
One of the exclusive multiplayer maps for Halo PC and Halo Mac. Death Island bears a striking resemblance to the campaign level The Silent Cartographer.
The second Halo ring to appear in the Halo series, and is the main setting of Halo 2.
Earth is a rocky planet orbiting the Sun, and the homeworld of Humanity. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines Earth as "mostly harmless."
One of the traditional seven continents, Europe is a favorite source of video game settings. In the real world, European countries have produced a host of notable developers and publishers, and compose a large gaming market.
The site of an archeological exploration.
An area of land, including various structures, devoted primarily to the practice of producing and managing food.
A desert world populated by insect-like flying creatures. Featured in Star Wars Episode II.
Germany is a country in Central Europe which borders eight countries and is one of the founding members of the European Union. Most World War II-themed games take place in a (mostly caricatured) Nazi-Germany (1939-1945), whether they are RTS or FPS. Frequently, Nazi villains are stereotypical Germans.
Inspired by the Halo 2 map Lockout, one would assume Guardian's popularity would diminish when Lockout's proper remake, Blackout was released. A testament to its design, Guardian still holds up as one of the best competitive Halo 3 maps with a near-flawless layout.
The major setting of the Halo series, these ring worlds are an array of alien devices capable of killing all sentient life.
The first level of the original Doom. The level is now a staple in first person level design and music.
Haunted houses are ominous places full of dread. If you dare enter, anything from flying books to hordes of zombies await you.
Hell is the afterlife destination for the souls of the dead who were evil and wicked in their mortal lives. Although you probably don't wanna go there for real, since it's full of bloodthirsty demons, unspeakable abominations and lots and lots of fire, Hell makes a great setting for videogames.
High Ground is an asymmetrical storm-the-gates style of Halo 3 map. Its long lines of sight and advantages from, well, the high ground make this map more chaotic than others.
A fictitious city in Nazi Germany, and the site of occult Nazi experimentation in the Wolfenstein universe.
In the Star Wars universe it is the home of the Wookiees.
Where evil is created, or at least where scientific experiments are conducted. Test tubes filled with pretty liquids are almost a must.
Whatever happens in Vegas, is bound to come back to bite you in the ass.
