uh yeah this brings me back welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 most
iconic multiplayer stages before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
what we considered to be the most
memorable and iconic multiplayer levels
of all time we’re ranking our list based
on the stages level of fandom the impact
it had on gaming and the popularity of
the map within the game’s community and
no specific genres included every map
from every game is basically welcome
here number 10
facing worlds Unreal Tournament Unreal
Tournament had some really beautiful
maps skyscrapers that reach into space
research facilities with glowing green
goo flowing into vats if you wanted a
break from quake 3’s relentless shades
of brown Unreal Tournament was the place
to be with the notably ironic exception
of what’s probably its most popular map
a noticeably Spartan chunk of rock
floating through space with a tower on
each end facing worlds was the right
kind of boring the kind of boring that
lets the headshots do the talking the
simple symmetry and nowhere to hide
layout of the space between those towers
meant that there was no trickery that
could help you on your flag runs just a
lot of zigzagging rabbit jumps and a
prayer that whoever got to the top of
the enemies tower first wasn’t a very
good shot
number nine final destination super
smash brothers series while the original
final destination wasn’t available as a
vs. map but was rather a stage to face
the final boss it has since become both
a series staple and a fan favorite the
level consists of nothing more than a
floating platform in space so it’s not
much to look at
although the changing background
certainly provides some breathtaking
scenery due to its simplicity it’s
become a tournament staple though as it
is without hazards making for a fair and
balanced fight without the interruption
of external forces in fact it was so
popular that by the time smash 4 3 DS
and Wii U came out every stage in the
game had its own simplistic final
destination layout
[Music]
number 8 q 2 DM 1 the edge quake 2 any
quake fan will immediately recognize the
edge as it is a landmark map but the
franchise and first-person shooters in
general the edge is known for its
variety complete with an outdoor
courtyard and an underwater section
making for fun and interesting outcomes
during a match it has remained
incredibly popular since its inception
and has been remade for succeeding games
due to its incredible demand for anyone
who grew up with online shooters in the
90s the edge is sure to bring back a
flood of memories number 7 summoners
rift League of Legends
[Music]
we think it’s fair that the most popular
map in probably the most popular game
deserves a spot on this list the map
consists of three different lanes that
are defended by turrets with a simple
objective destroy the enemy’s Nexus
before they destroy yours it’s not only
a beautiful map situated in an isolated
forest but it requires a large amount of
strategy and teamwork as well put simply
it’s part and parcel to what makes
league of legends so great number 6 Wake
Island battlefield series
[Applause]
when you think of battlefield one
particular map should immediately spring
to mind
Wake Island this map has been
captivating fans from its original
iteration in battlefield 1942 and has
been remade and revamped numerous times
due to popular demand and fan interest
Wake Island has everything which makes
battlefield maps so interesting its
massive which favors both short and long
range combat it’s beautiful to look at
and the vehicles are versatile complete
with boats jeeps tanks helicopters
fighter jets or regular old propeller
planes depending on the era you’re
playing in no two games and Wake Island
are the same and its variety throughout
the series kept it fresh and interesting
[Applause]
number 5 – fort team fortress 2 team
fortress 2 has remained incredibly
popular throughout the last decade and
many of its maps are now classics
however definitely none are as
well-known or beloved as that of two
fort the default capture the flag map –
fort is really nothing special it’s just
two buildings facing each other with a
bridge in the middle while this provides
some classic and simple base on base
action what makes two forts so much fun
is that you don’t even need to play
towards the objective most people will
simply run rampant resulting in some of
the most outrageous action and a whole
lot of fun while the most serious of
players might not enjoy it as much it’s
a total blast for the rest of us
number four facility Goldeneye
double-oh-seven
[Music]
while companies were beginning to
experiment with online gaming in the
1990s perhaps no other first-person
shooter captured the market quite like
Goldeneye double-oh-seven on the n64
it’s an absolute classic despite not
agent particularly well and facility was
arguably the most popular map which
believe us is saying a lot
this map basically had it all tight
shootouts in the bathroom or the boiler
room or sneaky attacks throughout the
ventilation shafts and tight corridors
while it wasn’t even designed as a
multiplayer map and it may seem archaic
today there was nothing like chasing
your buddies around the facility back in
the day number three nuke town call of
duty black ops series
nuketown did something a little
differently from the usual Co D Maps and
we’re certainly glad they did you see it
started as an unofficial project before
the team at Treyarch took a liking to it
and now we see why the 1950s American
aesthetic provided something new and
invented for the series which usually
featured rundown war-torn locations and
close quarters combat made shootouts
both exciting and frequent the map
quickly became a fan favorite and it’s
been remade twice in each succeeding
black ops title call duty should
probably be experimenting more but if
they want to keep remaking nuketown
that’s that’s fine
number two Blood Gulch halo combat
Evolved Red Team has the flag Blood
Gulch has captivated gamers since halos
inception due to its unique setting and
wide open space which provides countless
strategies and approaches for the wide
amount of toys that you can play with in
Halo it was easily the most popular map
in the original and it was remade as
coagulation in Halo 2 and Valhalla in
Halo 3 well it inspired it anyway
despite the Halo franchises ever-growing
roster of maps over the years Blood
Gulch nearly a two decade old map has
remained a fan favorite since the very
beginning
number one dust two counter-strike
series no matter how great Blood Gulch
is it may never reach the status that
counterstrikes dust2 has achieved the
counter-strike games are arguably the
most popular fps is on the market and
dust2 is easily its most popular map its
signature color scheme makes it
immediately recognizable and the map is
incredibly balanced making it accessible
for new fans and a favorite amongst pro
players even though shooters have
greatly evolved over the years dust2 has
remained the same proving just how
iconic and beloved it is in the eyes of
the community do you agree with our
