FPS trivia

Half Life 2 maybe?

No cut scenes in that though.

A friend just send me a joke image criticizing the lack of complexity in FPS level design today. What I found so amusing about it besides the joke is that I actually recognized the example map they used. I was wondering if any other escapists can identify the map as well. I'm looking for game and level name here.

(Map on the left. I hope you don't think I recognized the joke map )

I edited out the full date so as not to make it a total giveaway while maintaining the joke for those who also will be amused by it.

Anyway, spoiler your answer if you know it so you don't ruin it for others. For the noobs, this means writing {spoiler}game name{/spoiler} but using [ ] brackets instead.

Looks like a quake map to me.

Well, that's Hexen, but for some reason, that's the mage's Staff that is being wielded, but it looks like he's collecting parts for the Warrior's sword.

and for extra trivia, what does the Chaos Device do, and what is that yellow item that is equipped called?

Well spotted on the sword. Very strange. I know the answers to the Qs but I'l leave that for someone else.

That's clearly a Doom 1 or 2 map!

Spoiler

Is it Call of Duty Modern Warfare?

If you're trying to ID the map on the right, sure, why not?

Was that a clever hint/pun?

 

[Signa]

more of a biting joke/quip. Never played MW2. I did drop a similar hint later.

You know, I'm not convinced backtracking and "you need the red keycard" is much of an improvement over linear maps.

 

[redisforever]

Serious Sam is perfect if you want the linearity of the new type of level design, and the gameplay of the 199X games. It's like if Doom was remade now.

It depends completely on how it's presented. Metroid Prime is a perfect example of a complex map design with "Red Key" elements, and not many people look back at those games disfavorably.

 

[blankedboy]

Definitely

Pretty obvious to anyone who's used DooMBuilder.
