Post some examples of levels in video games that you think are exceptional. Any genre is okay.
Mine:
>Thief - The Sword
>Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Bank
>Half-Life - Surface Tension
>Blood - E2M3
>Shadow Warrior - E1M4
>Donkey Kong Country 2 - Klobber Karnage
I just realized how long it's been since I've played a game that used the word "level" to describe one or a couple of rooms. It's all screens or chapters.
What game uses "screens"
Entire Karazhan raid in wow
>Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Bank)
Holy mother of based this was one of the best levels i've played in a stealth game you're right.
Halo 3 had some great levels but this takes the cake.
>engaging opening fight on the beach
>massive open places to mess around with the ground and air vehicles
>TWO SCARABS
>flood siding with you near the end
