What game(s) do you think has the worst level design this generation?

I think that Mass Effect 2 has the worst level design this generation, take an empty hallway, fill it with chest high walls and the same kind of door and you have a Mass Effect 2 level.

Most corridor shooters.

Duke Nukem Forever.

There's some surprisingly good levels, and some that are really, really atrcious.

The Halo remake.

Halo 3 Cortana. Good god that level is a nightmare.

UC3 the boat graveyard level is a very close 2nd.

Nuketown is pretty terrible also.DragonfireXZ95

Almost all modern military shooters. Come to think of it, I can't think of a single one that has been exceptional this entire gen. CoD4 maybe.

I would say Call of Duty, but that actually doesnt have level design at all so its probably disqualified.

edit. unless you call this a level design:

Vanquish and Crysis 2 are the first ones that come to mind.

Overall Mass Effect 2 is pretty bad. But Halo 3 has the big winner with Cortana. That sh1t is bad enough it wouldn't show up in mess like Rogue Warrior. jg4xchamp

Mass Effect 1 is really sticking out in my mind for some reason...

Really, that game's environments are a bore to walk through.

Operation Flashpoint Red River followed closely by Legendary.

ME2 is pretty bad. Corridor with stupid AI, rinse and repeat. I have no idea why I enjoyed the game as much as I did :P.

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]Nuketown is pretty terrible also.mems_1224

I'd have to say Mass Effect 2 also, as enjoyable as it was. Some of the most contrived level design you could ask for.drinkerofjuice

Is it really worse than the first Mass Effect's? *shudders*

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Yep, it's so bad, I wonder why people love that map!clyde46

with 64 people on PC. Max rank in two matches :lol:

Vanquish, some areas of dark souls, some areas of SMG, Brawl, some areas of bayonetta and some of halo 3.

Sonic 2006, since most levels are pretty much unplayable.

Final Fantasy 13 because it's pretty much one corridor with a few treasures on the way, Pulsse being the only exception.

A lot of FPS that offer places to camp while being pretty much invincible

Sonic '06

Killzone 2 and 3. Terrible.

CoD 3 takes the cake though. Just horrid.

You probably misread the topic, its about "worst" level desing, not about "best" level design. If we were talking about best level design, SMG and Dark Souls would certainly be among games to talk about, though.

Dragon Age.

I love Dark Souls, but Lost Izalith is terrible. Crystal Cave and bottom Blightown are bad as well.

The more interesting question would be what games have the best level design. Most level design blows nowadays. Too much interest in being cinematic.

On topic, Uncharted 3 had some areas that made me want to stab baby penquins.

You clearly misread my post, do you not see the "some" part behind dark souls and SMG?

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] I never understood why people always voted for it. Not only is it a boring looking map but why do people want to play on a small map where people are constantly spawning behind you?wis3boi

Why do people hate that level? I thought it was freaking intense.
