Best Single Player Level

Thief.

Shalebridge cradle.

QFT. It's spine-tingling just thinking about that level. No other level evokes such a strong response from me.

...dear God, that place was terrifying.

 

[Mitcric05]

Couldn't agree more SteakHeart. Feckin adore that game, especially that level.

 

[hazabaza1]

The final levels of Mass Effect 1+2 were awesome.
And also, since it has it's own level, the last fight against Vergil in DMC3 ranks very high up there for me.

The Seattle level in World in Conflict definitely is one of my favorite levels ever, along with some others that have been mentioned here already.

At the time it came out it was just completely awe-inspiring to see the entire city get bombarded and turned to rubble by artillery fire around you.

 

[JayDub147]

Liberty Island - Deus Ex

ATC Tower - The Nameless Mod

The Bank Heist mission from Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

whatever that mission was where you could dress up as a swat officer and take part in a raid on a cargo boat - Hitman Contracts

Foreman Residence, SWAT 3.

That is without a doubt the single-player level I've played and replayed more often in my entire life. It's tense as holy hell!

 

[MrShowerHead]

Fairfax Residence, SWAT 3.

That is without a doubt the single-player level I've played and replayed more often in my entire life. It's tense as holy hell!

Sorry, but did you mean SWAT 4?

Fixed. Sorry, wrong address.

 

[Jester00]

the sniping level of cod4, the first favela level of cod6.

 

[imnot]

The Ark from Halo 3.

Ugh... for some reason, I don't remember what happened in that level....

You walk through a desert, shoot some grunts, drive through some desert, get a tank, drive through more desert, walk through a wall, drive to a scarab, destroy scarab, walk through another wall, press a button, walk back through the wall, win.
i didnt really like that level...
I like exodusinm Reach.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Bank robbery mission in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It was awesome. Avoid lasers and cameras, hack computers, steal the cash, upload fake files to make it look like an inside job. Perfect!

No problem.

But still, Fairfax Resident on SWAT 4 was creepy. That basement...... *shivers*

Ah, that one!

I remember it took me almost 2 hours just to get inside

[sylekage]

The Silent Cartographer level in the original Halo. It was such a fun mission, I know it inside and out now, and have played it a million different ways.

 

[Iwata]

the first favela level of cod6.

You gotta be kidding. That was one of the more infuriating, poorly-designed, frustrating levels I've encountered in an FPS.

 

[philosophicalbastard]

The final mission in Mass Effect 2. Intense gunfights, a terrifying boss and the knowledge that one bad decision could get someone killed... Now that's good design.

I forgot to mention this. Man, I was so scared I'd make the wrong decision and lose a team leader (my heart stopped when Jacob, my team leader both times, got hit once but ended up not dying... PHEW).

What really sucked was I lost one of the more favored characters in that level.

Spoiler

I sent thane in the vents because of his ability to withstand heat. I had no idea he'd get hit in the face with a missile.

SC2 final mission was pretty awesome

Well all good and true but the final boss didn't shot me all the 16 of the 17 times I finished ME2 lol (10 of them on the max difficulty, mind you so its not a difficulty thing)

 

[Jester00]

the first favela level of cod6.

yeah, sometimes it's kinda frustrating if you die 10 times at one point, but the level, especially the second half of it, was so exciting. the atmosphere was great, that feeling of beeing pressed for time because of the stuff ghost shouts to you and than the awesome end. wow. i love it.

 

[onewheeled]

The final mission of Half-Life 2: Episode Two was all kinds of epic.

Plus, once the battle started to get real crazy, the best song in the entire game started playing.

Spoiler: For the uninitiated...
