Most beautiful maps?

Post by brazzjazz »

Aside from gameplay considerations, what do you consider to be the most beautiful, atmospheric etc. maps? Of course, optimally the map has both a good gameplay and looks great. I personally don't like those numerous grim industrial / junk maps so well, rather those that also try to convey a more romantic theme - like an old temple, spaceship, underwater, arctic research station etc.

For me, there are two maps: The stone gorgeous maps that make you go "Wow...". There is a bank office map made for sniper that has a waterfall in it that comes to mind. Visually stunning, immersive, I can walk around in it just enjoying the ambiance. Then there is the other that focuses on gameplay and has everything "right" in it. MH-Ruins_Stairs comes to mind on this. Simplistic map (make it to the top of the stairs) but each turn is a challenge and it slowly builds to a very hard ending. The choke points are tough, but not impossible, but the whole thing is designed to be hard yet fair. You rush, you ain't gonna make it.

For me, VERY few maps fall into both categories.
