    Killzone 2 had some of the best map design I've ever seen in an FPS - Corinth Crossing, Blood Gracht, Radec Academy, Tharsis Depot, and Pyrrhus all left a big impression on me with their multiple pathways and strategically placed turrets/ammo crates.

    Counter-Strike was ahead of its time, pioneering the modern FPS with its winding urban hallways. Some of my favorites are cs_office, de_cbble, cs_estate, the dozens of community maps whose names I can't remember and that's not even getting into dust, its successor, and numerous progeny.

    Call of Duty ran with that template and has had unbelievable ones - Crash, Backlot, Terminal, Favela, Estate, Afghan, Sub Base, Lockdown, Downturn, Resistance, it's insane what they can crank out over there. Ghosts has some of the best maps yet, with Tremor, Octane, Freight, Chasm, and Warhawk standing out for me.

    I'm really looking forward to Epic's upcoming reboot of Unreal. Some of my favorites in UTIII were Shangri La, Heat Ray, Sanctuary, and the remakes of Deck and Facing Worlds.

    Besides that I don't enjoy scifi shooters. That have zero interest to me. Also single player FPS is boring trout.

    Valhalla on Halo 3 is definitely a massive mention as is The Pit. Reach had a couple of memorable ones too such as the remake of Blood Gulch which pretty much dominated the Team Death Match options for me, Paul and Dan.

    The statement that you will never play it makes no sense though since you've confirmed you've never played, and your assumptions about the game are also dead wrong.

    It's a sci-fi shooter in about the same way that the Walking Dead is about a family that went camping in the woods. And saying single player FPS's are all boring is the sort of blanket statement that's inherently silly. Doom is absolutely nothing like any FPS made after it save perhaps the original Quake and Painkiller. Any assumptions you have about it based on what other titles are like are irrelevant.

    Favorite maps in First Person Shooter games? Well, Phendrana Drifts was absolutely fantastic in Metroid Prime.

    Perhaps you should have specified multiplayer maps.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Oh no, I don't mind either way! Post single player maps if you want as well!

    Ok let me specify. I do not enjoy shooters that do not use real guns. I don't give to smurfs about blowing trout up. And while it may be a blanket statement that single player FPSs are boring, it's the truth in my case. I have never played a FPS for the single player mode except Marathon and Wolfenstein 3D. and my "assumptions" lol as If I have never seen a video of doom or my friends playing.
