Best Single Player Level

[ChaoticKraus]

Fort Frolic in Bioshock - Sander Cohen are the eptiome of creepy.

All Ghillied Up in COD 4 - You felt like a true infiltrator crawling in the grass and carefully placing shots.

The First Boat Level in COD 4 - Set the mood of the game perfectly.

The level in MW2 in Washington after the EMP - Was reeeeaaaly tense with the lack of sights, lights, radio communication and the thundering storm.

Hard Rain in L4D2 - Too many witches and a storm that makes you both blind and deaf.

The final level of The Witcher - You're not sure what's going on and one of the discoveries are painful to say the least.

A Symphony of Frost and Flame, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne - Epic, tense, hectic and strategically + tactically challenging. The perfect RTS level.

The Church in Silent Hill Homecoming.

People should know why that one...especially when you find Alex's Dad.

The Ark from Halo 3.

Ugh... for some reason, I don't remember what happened in that level....

You walk through a desert, shoot some grunts, drive through some desert, get a tank, drive through more desert, walk through a wall, drive to a scarab, destroy scarab, walk through another wall, press a button, walk back through the wall, win.
i didnt really like that level...
I like exodusinm Reach.

The reason I, and so many others, loved the Ark was because:

1) It had some spectacular moments (your arrival at the Ark, Forward Unto Dawn landing)
2) It was a VERY open level, even by Halo standards - it was about as close to a sandbox as you could get while still being linear
3) Sentinels without Flood. Sentinels are incredibly cool, Flood aren't, and this was the first time you found the cool without the uncool.
4) It had some of the best songs on the soundtrack.

The final mission of Half-Life 2: Episode Two was all kinds of epic.

Plus, once the battle started to get real crazy, the best song in the entire game started playing.

Spoiler: For the uninitiated...

Forgive me, but if that's the best song Half Life 2: Episode 2 has, I really don't see what all the fuss is about...

I agree with all that, I just found it a bit to long and sandy (I hate sand!)

A lot of mirror's edge levels are fun for me, but I know the layouts. But any level where you kick a sniper in the nuts and he falls off the roof, then you pick off his buddies earns a few points with me.
And the Deus Ex level, I think it was Vandenburg Air Force Base, where you can clear out the place by hacking some huge bots to do your bidding. Now THAT'S how you complete an objective.

LOL. Well it's not likely to fill up your shoes in a game...

Arnhem Knights from medal of honor frontline, brings back memories.

... What level was that?

its the one where you have to save all the British soldiers in the bombed out city of Arnhem. its a fun diversion from the usual solo/stealth play from the game.

I was playing some Cold War Crisis an hour ago when I played this one level called After Montignac.

I wish the missions in Arma 2 were as good as those OFP. A case of trying too hard, I think.

But it doesn't bother me too much, because I get a new favorite SP level every week as I slap them together myself.

Like filling a city block in Fallujah (also user-made, makes Assassin's Creed's cities look like Bowerstone) with insurgents and playing as one or the other as the Americans drop the hammer. A-10s roaring overhead, Stryker-loads of infantry rolling down the street, Bradleys thundering away at sniper nests, Blackhawks swooping inbetween high rises, AAVs lobbing grenades across the river and an Abrams blowing up buildings from a mile away. We get creamed.

Seoul in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Think back people, it was a freaking awesome level.
