The best campaign levels in a FPS

So I beat both CoD 4 and Halo Reach (again) recently, both had some exceptional levels in them that inspired this thread

Here's some:

New Alexandria - Halo Reach

All Ghillied Up - Call of Duty 4

One Shot, One Kill - Call of Duty 4

The Silent Cartographer - Halo Combat Evolved

The Ark - Halo 3

dishonored - brothel

crysis 2 - that night time island stealth mission

far cry - cliif

far cry 2 - trainyard

half life 2 - pretty much all of it

bioshock - ALL OF IT!

New Alexandria is probably my all time favourite level in a video game. The Atmosphere was just....awesome.

Half Life 2 Ravenholm was pretty amazing to :cool:

Its not in Campaign but i'd say Terminal from MW2 online

Facility  goldeneye 

bunker 2 goldeneye 

control goldeneye

dam -timesplitters 2

the haunted mansion-timesplitters fp

facility ge wii 

bunker goldeneye remake

jungle golden eye remake

Its not in Campaign but i'd say Terminal from MW2 online

Well maybe you shouldn't post in this thread.

Surface Tension in Half-Life 1

Vorkuta-CoD:Blops. I especially enjoyed the motorcylce part.

New Alexandria-Halo Reach

Halo-Halo:CE

Dishonored, all of it.

Its not in Campaign but i'd say Terminal from MW2 online

Metro 2033 - Ghosts. Sticking your ear to the pipes for too long and hearing that ghostly wail was pretty creepy. 

CoD:MW - All ghillied up. That level is fvcking sweet

Crysis - First level, when you walk out and see the sun rise is pretty powerful for the first time. 

Far Cry 3 - Burning the Marijuana. The music kicks in and it's just cool.

F.E.A.R 2 - The school level. That is one scary ass place when you play it properly. 

I also love levels from Half life 2, Bioshock and Cryostasis. But can't narrow it down to one so I will leave them out. 

Far Cry 3 - Burning the Marijuana. The music kicks in and it's just cool.

lol my body started moving to the music. amazing level. 

It's hard to remember / pick a favorite. But my favorite campaigns include GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Halo:CE, TimeSplitters 2, CoD4:MW.

I guess you remember the classic ones, not necessarily "best" or most fun to play. Facility, oblask dam and the halo ring / cartographer sequence.

Normally I don't listen to reggae or dubstep but that music worked so damn fvcking well in that level. 

It worked because the game was almost making fun of itself, didn't take itself too seriously and was just like "You know, fvck it, here's a flamethrower now go burn some weed" It was incredible. Completely took me by surprise. I even died on purpose a few times to replay it :P

Ravenholm from Half Life 2. The Truth and Reconciliation from Halo CE. Outskirts/Metropolis from Halo 2. It's been a long time since I've played CoD 2 so I can't remember level names specifically, but I'll go with all of it. Best CoD campaign they've ever done imo.

Edit: Shame on me for forgetting Dark Forces. The third level in the garbage facility was amazing. And terrifying with those friggin eye monsters popping up everywhere.

If you guys are willing to count it as a FPS, then from DXHR

Probably one of the most engrossing levels I have ever played, even though it had so many things that could at the same time suck you out of the experience

The Darkness 2 hands down.

Resistance 3, all of it.Nengo_Flow

People are so lazy in these threads. Just saying "All of it" even though there's likely one part they enjoyed more than others. They just can't be bothered to think about it. 

The mech level in Killzone 2. Thank you Sony. senses_fail_06

You serious? That level was horrible :? The mech was so clunky and the level design was poor. 

The intro level was the best in KZ2. That or the train. When you tossed a grenade and watched the particles actually fly passed you because the train was moving, that was awesome 

[QUOTE="Basinboy"] Also concur with the CoD4 sentiment in here, most of that game was fantastic. I'm also particular toward some of the levels in MW3 but too lazy to look up which ones (Britain, Hague, Germany).Blabadon

MW3 is bad. It has some cool set pieces and all but it's just monotonous. Eneter area, clear area, watch set piece and repeat is all it boiled down to. MW2 was saved by that ice/snow level. Everything else was kinda bleh 

MW1 was excellent because it paced itself so damn well, and the story actually felt like a story. Not pandering.

There's a difference in being clunky in real life and cumbersome to what a game should do. It shouldn't feel crap to walk around in a mech. Play hawken and then go back to KZ2 and you'll see what a mech should feel like. or at least a better rendition of what it should feel like. 

Then again the controls in KZ2 were pretty crap all round anyway

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] Been wanting to pick that up after how fun CoD 4 was, but I still have to beat MW2Blabadon

Maybe you will like it, I can't say but you sound the same as me and I didn't like MW3 all that much. 

No CoD level will top the Ghillie suit one though anyway.

The Aztec level in Timesplitters 2 was great, especially on Normal/Hard where you end up entering the Aztec Temple all the way to the Stone golems faceoff with the grenade launcher.

It also had a great song

The train sequence in Killzone 2 is one. Just running through, dropping fools one by one with the shotgun. That was the point where I said "You know, this game is pretty fvcking rad."

Crysis - Core.  Nothing comes close imo.

So simplistic, yet so grand.

I can't think of any level that really stands out in the FPS's that I've played  (that and I play multiplayer central FPS and also barely play many GOOD campaign levels in an FPS).

The only thing I can think of that stands out for me is the War in the tunnels versus the communist forces in Metro 2033 but that level was not good in any format and I would probably argue it was rather terrible.

Actually, the librarian level from Metro was very good. Of course I could over the course of time and many bullets kill the librarians but that intial traverse through the library and coming across the creatures and constantly moving away and keeping eye on them was very atmospheric, tense, and very good.

EVERYTHING in Halo and Bioshock

The credits of all of the Killzone games to point and laugh at the 'talented' devs.

All Ghillied Up was so good.SaltyMeatballs

Literally all of Half Life, Half Life Blue Shift, Half Life Opposing Force, Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, and Half Life Episode 2.

The last level of Halo 1 and Halo 3

Killzone 2 - Tharsis Refinery. So epic.

Lol totally agreed. Was one of many awesome bits in an awesome game.
