What do you think is the greatest game mission ever ?

Escape from the Black Mesa Facility.

Clearly, the Library.

All of Half-Life 2.

Whaaaat? It's got no level change.

The best single player game, you mean? Because that would make sense.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2004-11-29 01:39am

Assault on The Control Room.

Medal of Honour: Allied Assault
D-Day landing

Half-Life 2:
Highway 17 and Sand Traps - Zooming along in the buggy, lots of enemies and shooting down gunships, they had everything.
Our Benefactors - Super gravity gun, 'nuff said

Farcry:
The one where you come up out of a fortress and it's under attack by transgens. Lots of merc's, lot's of Transgens, all fighting each other and you.

Unreal Tournament 2004:
Assault - Junkyard - Hey, it's a FPS and it's a mission. And it's a fun mission at that.

The whole Stalingrad mission sequence in Call of Duty was totally badass; but if I had to pick just one mission from that game I'd pick the British mission where you have to hold the bridge against German counterattack. On Hardened, especially near the end, it just becomes completely crazy.

Moving away from FPS, the Starcraft mission where you kill Duke and Fenix, if not the best, was pretty powerful story-line wise.

Shadows of the Empire's Hoth Snowspeeder level. Not only did a become a standard among any Star Wars games involving flight, but it was also the sole inspiration for an entire series of quality games.

Call of Duty's Stalingrad.

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith's first level with the attack on the New Republic base. Played that one over and over many times.

Command & Conquer's first Commando mission. I'll remember that one forever. "I gotta present for ya!"

Hands up if you used the all items cheat, used the tusken disguise, and changed sides...

Half life: the one with the waterdam and apache

Call of Duty: Stalingrad

Half life 2: still playing but I already liked the level in the very beginning where you didnt had any weapons

Been a long time I played it but I remember Hidden & dangerous having some excellent levels also. Especially one where you needed to escape with an airplane when Germans keep pooring out the forest. Or another where you had to go trough a maze of trenches

D-Day landing...the bullets flying the hordes of people, ah the sheer exhiliration.

Final MC level on HAlo 2....just bunchs and bunchs of killing with three factions going apeshit.

I'd say Metropolis from Halo 2. You know, the level where you drive the tank across the bridge and blow up about 2 dozen ghosts, half a dozen banshees, and 3 wraiths. And it's the only single-player mission with a gauss hog.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2004-11-29 08:01am

The Gate of Gondor level in Return of the King is helluva fun, especially on coop.

The one with the hotel (eastern europe) in Hitman 1. Awesome level

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2004-11-29 08:55am

Conspicuously NOT Ravenholm in HL2. Gaaah...bloody obnoxious, that board was.

One of my favorites has got to be the Fight for Earth mission in Nexus. Genuine, all-out hold-the-line battle against a massive torrent of forces pouring in through a subspace gate, friendly reinforcements jumping in and barrelling in towards the battle, weaponfire everywhere, the OH SHIT when the Vardrag battlegroup jumps in, frantically directing fire at emerging battleships before their shields can come online...freakin awesome.

Ah, the hotel in Hitman 1! I'd play that one over and over, in serial-killer mode. I'd go in with no items at all, snatch a kitchen knife, murder the chef, ditch his body in the freezer, and then go on a silent rampage of clandestine throat-cutting. Managed to get over twenty kills before anyone was the least bit aware anything was amiss.

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2004-11-29 02:54pm

Okey:
Call Of Duty: that bridge level, I was feeling really Movie Feeling nearing the end.

Homeworld: the Burning of Kharak

Ground Control: 8th mission, Jungle Purification.

UT: CBP2 Buliwyf, best action map, period.

Freespace 1: Clash of Titans, or the Ancients plotline (if 3 close missions count)

Freespace 2: Last mission.

Vendetta · Post by **Vendetta** » 2004-11-29 03:03pm

There are too many. Too many I say!

However, some are real standouts, for one reason or another. In no particular order.

1. Return to the Cathedral, Thief - One of the scariest levels of anything ever. Really.

2. Fight or Flight, Jet Set Radio - Because it was so bastard hard to get that last elusive Jet rating. And because I did it. Oh yes.

3. Area 5, Rez - I defy you. DEFY YOU. Not to be blown away by this level. It was, quite simply, awe inspiring.

4. Silent Cartographer, Halo - This is where Halo all came together. It has all the best of the wide open outside areas, the tight quarters fighting, the warthog, and the beach assault opening. It was huge, free roaming, and gorgeous.

5. "Surface Tension", Half-Life - everything that had happened in the game up to this point does not prepare you for what you are about to face. You are outside, open, vulnerable, and they have helicopters. Start praying, Mr Freeman. Kinda goes downhill after that.

6. Unknown Nod mission in C&C: Tiberian Sun. Only memorable for what I did to it. Which was to try it, get my ass kicked, start again, and then trundle my MCV inside the GDI base through a gap in their defences and start building engineers. I think it was about mission 6.

Some of the missions in Kingdom Under Fire are pretty epic as well, and I've only completed the first campaign, so there's still a lot of madness I've yet to see.

Battle on Ghost Recon 2. The ghosts get plunked down to help hold the line against a north korean counter attack. You're in a trench with your buds and a pair of emplaced HMGs (I like sticking my rifleman and sniper on those so I leave the automatic rifleman's SAW free). Two saws, two HMGs, and a target rich environment with NK troops attempting to make a river crossing, mortars going off all over, artillery barrages dropping around you, enemy tanks and APCs rolling in... now if I could just complete the damn thing.

Engineering level System Shock II

ok, fist you run into your first mutants, radiation hazzards, more monkeys and zombies, then C3p0 shows up and kamikazi's your ass, that's no problem, I can snipe hime from elsewhere, finding parts and braving the dangerzones, going through those tight warehouses to find the things you need to advance, get down into the section and run back, all of a sudden it's nursery ryhmes (this is the first time you see a nanny, and it scared the fuck out of me)

Two first Stalingrad missions from Call of Duty, hands down. Even Omaha landing in MoHAA wasn't as good as them.

Faram · Post by **Faram** » 2004-11-29 03:37pm

Just about any level in Deus Ex.

But Hong Kong is my all time fav!
