these are gaming’s greatest arenas
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 first-person shooter multiplayer maps
for this list we’re taking a look at the
maps that have defined multiplayer
matches all around the world
whether it’s against friends at home or
online yeah because there are so many
maps to choose from we’re sticking to
our usual one entry per franchise
although we decided to exclude honorable
mentions from this rule number 10
training rounds time splitters to
released before online gaming took hold
on consoles time splitters to brought
multiplayer mayhem to gamers with a huge
variety of maps with its two based
design and a single choke point mixed
with fixed machine guns in Bunker’s
training ground was the most memorable
whether it was a shootout over the
central waterfall or racing to capture
the bag this map was a chaotic mix of
everything that made timesplitters great
just watch out for those pesky monkeys
number 9 Radek academy Killzone 2
propaganda over the loudspeakers
monotone corridors sombre lighting yep
this is Killzone 2
set in a military training facility this
map sees the hell goons and the is a
fight it out through open areas and
tight corridors as the most popular map
in the PlayStation series the Academy
was host to many brutal cross fires as
there were players hell-bent on spawn
camping so make sure you’re on the
winning side you kick their asses
number 8 – fort team fortress 2 if there
was only one map the devs could have
included with Team Fortress 2 it would
have definitely been this one hands down
with snipers on the balcony scouts
running around below and all manner of
crazy crap going on on the bridge – fort
brings its own brand of chaos to online
multiplayer its iconic design is the
quintessential capture the flag layout
consisting of two opposing forts
separated by a stream running through
the middle allowing players easy map
navigation and opportunities with all of
the tf2 classes whether you love it or
hate it there are always full servers
coming away with this map number 7
facility Goldeneye double-oh-seven
part of what made goldeneyes multiplayer
maps so iconic was the fact that they
weren’t designed with multiplayer in
mind giving them an organic realistic
feel and nowhere was this more apparent
and in the facility whether you were
playing with throwing knives or power
weapons the tension of knowing that
anyone could come right around the
corner and give you the dreaded red
screen of death made this map great
players could run through the hallways
with guns blazing or be real sneaky and
try and hide in the bathroom with mines
but either way if you play this odd job
everyone probably huge number six the
edge wake to
strafe jumping map knowledge fast
movement these are all the things you
need in order to play quake 2
multiplayer mastering the edge however
is another matter with over 50 trick
jumps around the map only two of which
were designed by the developers this map
remains a true old-school arena and a
nostalgic favorite among quake fans all
over the world
number 5 Wake Island Battlefield series
meant to showcase all battlefield had to
offer in a single map this is one
tropical island you don’t want to be
stranded on due to its semicircular
layout you are never quite safe from
tanks crunching around a corner strafing
runs from enemy aircraft or just one
lone soldier swimming across the ocean
determined on subterfuge the first level
included in the demo to the original
battlefield 1942 Wake Island has been
remade over many installations of the
Battlefield series as a testament to its
popularity and longevity
number four Morpheus Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament is home to some of the
most frantic fast paced multiplayer maps
in gaming history some are considered
masters of map design others have their
own unique qualities that make them
great Morpheus is one of the latter
combining the standard unreal formula
with low gravity allowing players to
jump further and higher this map lent
itself to all game modes and provided a
unique twist to multiplayer matches plus
with the game chaining Redeemer spawning
at the top of the map no one was ever
safe number 3 Blood Gulch halo series
when you think of Halo multiplayer this
is probably the map that comes to mind
the simple two based level design led to
nail-biting capture-the-flag games
hectic death matches and long-range
pistol duels all throughout later remade
as coagulation in Halo 2 and hemorrhage
in Halo Reach we see what you did there
it remains to this day the
quintessential showcase for what halo is
all about diverse weapons vehicle combat
and methodical gameplay just make sure
you don’t block those teleporters number
– nuketown call of duty black ops series
Call of Duty has many memorable
multiplayer arenas but Newtown stands
tall above the rest
this cramped nuclear testing ground
allowed players to quickly enter the
fray it’s simple symmetrical design made
games fun fast-paced and open to all
game modes from simple deathmatch to
domination and hardpoint the map was so
popular it was reskin for black ops 2
and even appeared in zombie game types
showing players around the world that
bigger maps don’t always equal better
maps before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions as we said
before our one franchise rule won’t
apply here
number one defuse dust2 counter-strike
series standing out as one of the
definitive maps in the history of online
gaming de underscore dust2 became a true
classic of the competitive and casual
counter-strike scenes with its simple
open design and multiple choke points
the map is easy to navigate but very
hard to master if you were to add or
subtract a single in-game meter to a
walkway open one of the sets of double
doors an extra foot or budge any of the
crates in the bomb sites you would turn
the internet upside down and destroy
years of strategic experience there’s no
wonder that this is the most played map
in the counter-strike series and one of
the most iconic multiplayer maps of all
time do you agree with our list which
