Chernobyl in Stalker, end of.
Gateshead in Driver.
Was decent in COD 4 too.Originally Posted by Disco
That single player campaign in CoD4 was so fucking good.
Was my first real COD but I feel like its been downhill since
I think Alan Shearer (or his mate) described the subsequent games as 'formulaic mince', which was pretty bang on.
Pretty bang on to be fair.
"All Ghillied-Up."
Is that not the Pripyat mission?
The bit that swung it for me was in Durka Durka land when the nuke went off.
It's the only COD I've ever played. Opening mission on the boat and Death From Above stand out for me.
I don't know if it's the best, but I had hours of fun on Liberty Island:

Speaking of COD. The Stalingrad mission in Call of Duty 2 was the tits. At first you start off with no gun and you have to nick one off a body, and if you run backwards at any time your own mates shoot you for deserting
Whatever Medal of Honour game that had the Omaha Beach opening was pretty good too.
The first one, Allied Assault.
Not the opening mission either, there was a mission in North Africa first. What a game that was.
Some of Spec Ops landscapes were phenomenal. The game would change the intro screen as you got further into the game and they were nearly all great.
This one being a favourite, it's a phone picture taken off a TV so it's lost something but you get it.
Battlefield 3's Paris Metro map was quite good.
I always got thoroughly lost once I got inside on that map.
Thats my experience with any Battlefield map.
This would be closer to my gaming experience.
My gaming life is just trying to run up/over cliffs to get there slightly faster. It's why I gave up on The Witcher/Dragon Age, I think. I just walked up Cliffs until I couldn't and then walked round adding frustration as well as boredom.
Sneaking round behind the enemy was such an easy way to rack up the kills, along with hiding in the pockets by doorways. I used to love that map.
Best CoD mission for me. The voice acting/atmosphere in that game was seriously good, I've been waiting for a return to WW2 games ever since.
There's scope for someone to really nail a new WW2 shooter, seeing as the market was done to death in the early CoD games. Graphics these days would be immense, I wish they'd redo BF1942.
London in The Getaway: Black Monday was half decent, IIRC, although that must've been 2005-ish.

Oh, how we could forget...
Is there anywhere that actually bears any real relation to it's real world counterpart? Barring style/architecture and a landmark or two I can't think of any.
Those ARG games based on you driving places and stuff at best.
Racing games in general I suppose, at least those that recreate existing circuits.
GTA V did a cracking job.
They did LA alright in LA Noire.
This was on my mind before Black Ops 3 was announced. The last WW2 game to my mind was World at War, which was released 6 years ago now.
I'd love to see someone take another go at it. This modern/slightly advanced warfare is starting to wear thin.
And then after WW2 maybe somebody could have a bit of a bash at the zombie games thing, it's probably time.
Is that the Arse Creed based in Italy?Oh, how we could forget...
It is, and it's a great shout. Dunno if any of them are especially accurate but I loved Venice in whichever Ezio one it is. Rome had some great stuff too but there were too many bits I felt were just there to give me somewhere to run through between landmarks.
Doesn't Rome and/or the Vatican appear in two Arse Creed games? One for a tiny bit and then again for a lot longer.
Rome is one of the main settings in.... I want to say Brotherhood but that might be wrong. And then there's an extended bit in the Vatican. I also liked Istanbul in Revelations.
You kill the Pope in either 2 or Brotherhood.
LA Noire's Los Angeles is remarkably accurate in places, which made it more of a shame that it was largely window dressing for a game that barely used the space.
