Favorite/Most Hated DN3D Level

[Jawsa Eagle Eye]

What was your favorite level in DN3D
Mine would have to be Duke Burger just because the concept of Duke owning a fast food chain is hilarious, and I do not necessarily condone using dogs for burgers lol, but the actual level was well planned imo

Stadium comes in second because it is an awesome DM level and the 64 version kicked ass lol

What was your most hated level in DN3D
The damn Abyss, that was when I was like 5-10 lol, I could not figure out where to go and it was only until I was 16 when I figured it out

But nowadays I am bitter towards Derelict from The Birth, the whole level is very confusing and death was inevitable (for me anyway )

What was your favorite episode in DN3D
I always loved Shrapnel City

What is your most hated episode in DN3D
The Birth, because death always seems to haunt you around every corner

[Sang]

My most hated episode is probably Episode 2.. and my most hated level is one of those levels I guess. I'm just not a big fan of dark, confined hi-tech areas.

As for my favourite level.. don't know really, Hollywood Holocaust perhaps? Or Flood Zone?

[ReadOnly]

The Abyss actually is my favorite level. It's big and haunting. And a good level design.

[Commando Nukem]

Toss up between my favorites are
Hollywood Holocaut, Red Light District, Raw Meat, and LA Rumble.

Episode 2 really doesnt do it for me, i'm with Sang on that.

[Puritan]

Favourites must be: Flood Zone and Fusion Station

I hate Rabid Transit - On and off subways and backtracking ....

[Malgon]

There's lots of good levels to choose from, but I'll go with Fusion Station (E2L4). I just dug the atmosphere on that one.

As for most hated level, there's none that I really hate, but I'd have to say Rabid Transit does feel a bit bland. It's not terrible, but it doesn't match up to the other levels in E3 imo.

[hightreason]

My favorite level: Derelict - unless we're stuck in V1.3D in which case it's Lunar Reactor.
My most hated level: Death Row - Because i always got killed in that one a lot as a kid, and there's just something unappealing about it i think.

[Ashura96]

Love: Freeway, Launch Station (or w/e the secret E1 level is called) LA Rumble, Pigsty, Area 51 (lol secret levels)

Hate: Critical Mass...augh the beginning was so confusing at first...and too many crushing walls and ceilings aaah!

[XTHX2]

Most Hated => Any level which has a crusher in it.

Most Loved => Anything besides above ^ (Personal Special : Hollywood Holocaust and Fahrenheit)

[Phayzon]

Hate: A couple levels in Ep 2, or Rabid Transit
Love: Lot to choose from here, I'll have to go with either Flood Zone, Babe Land or Hollywood Holocaust.

[Tea Monster]

My all-time fave is 'The Abyss' - its so creepy and atmospheric and has so many different themes and things going on. Its also got the cave dancer, which is my all-time favorite 'Easter Egg' (even if it isn't really an easter egg). Its why the Level Lord is The Level Lord.

I didn't like the 4th Episode that much. Seemed kind of bleh compared to the rest. I didn't like Derelict too much. Yeah it has the ship and the crane, but then its all confined and the rest of the level all looks the same.

[LadiesAndGentlemen]

Episode 4 was gimmicky and useless.

[jukka]

Most hated - Flood Zone/every level where you need to find keys, I hated them, mostly because I always miss something and then I get stuck and I get bored >_<

Idk any good levels, but ep3 is my favorite

Agreed, except Derelict.

[R102 Gamma]

My favorite has gotta be Area 51. Always loved that place.
My least favorite has gotta be incubator. Hate Protozoid Slimers.

[Blade Nightflame]

I don't have a clear favorite.
However, I do admit I loved the atmosphere of Episode 3.
And I detest Critical Mass. :P

[Ramen4ever]

I hated Derelict. It was just one of those stages for me that wasn't fun. In fact it was THE only stage in all 4 Duke episodes that I skipped whenever I could. It was confusing and apart from the Captain's cabin, the rest of the level was just.. annoying. My favorites are of course the Episodes 1 levels.. all of them. And the episode 3 levels. With my favorites level being Hotel Hell or Red light District in those episodes. Though I also loved some of the Episode 4 levels. Pigsty was incredible. And is in fact my favorite stage overall.

Favorite Dukematch would be Bank Roll, Hotel Hell, Rabbit Transit - frickin love this level. "Squish" RLD, Hollywood holocaust, Spin Cycle, Duke Burger, etc.

Episode 2 had some good stuff as well. I wasn't fond of levels like incubator which although was okay, didn't even come close to being as good as say Warp Factor, Occupied Territory, Tiberius Station, Lunar Reactor, Overlord etc

oops.. kinda went on a rant

[WesParmalee]

Episode 2 I hate those most, as for my favorite, a run up between Red Light District, Bank Roll, L.A. Rumble, Raw Meat and Hotel Hell

I loved Fusion Station, too. A lot of folks here just don't seem to like the Lunar Apocalypse episode, but it had some of my favorite levels.

[Nimoy]

Im another Lunar Apocalypse hater.

Favorite Levels: L.A. Rumble, Fahrenheit, Hotel Hell, Critical Mass, probably some more.

Yeah I'm a fan of Lunar Apocalypse as well.

[spisbell]

I was never really a fan of Lunar Apocalypse either.
I can't fault it's gameplay, however the outer space setting just never appealed to me.

Personally I've always preferred the city based levels.

[Malgon]

Yeah, it seems most people were into the city based levels.

[John]

Yeah, that's basically what got me hooked into Duke. The (at the time) realistic city environments and such.

[hammer oz]

favourite level duke burger FTW why becuase i just plain love it must be something to do with the fast food chain

most hated level the one where the finish is in the top of some tower and when played on hard haft to kill 4 mini battle lords
my most hated episode deffinatly episode 4 because i become mr die alot

[zeroagent]

No specific level.

Favorite Episode: Lunar Apocalypse - yeah, I like it. It's creey and scary and sometimes really disturbing.

Hated Episode: The Birth - hard as hell.

[Thedutchjelle]

Favourite: Hollywood Holocaust, Lunar Reactor (the music <3 ), LA rumble, Hotel Hell and a fair bunch of the E4 maps.
Note: Due to my slimerophobia i didn't always play them single player, mostly the E4 maps have only been done cooperativly or Deathmatch.

Hated: Incubator, Derelict, Red Light District, Toxic Dump, a fair bunch of E2 maps.

[hightreason]

One thing i forgot when i posted in here, dukematch. Red Light district is my favorite for this, but on the N64 i like Hotel Hell, mostly because i can get the elevator to glitch if i start getting beaten too badly and sometimes i can manage to get another player in there and send them down, leaving me to beat the other player(s) and ensure the guy in the elevator comes last

[Ninety-Six]

Favorite levels: Hollywood Holocaust, Launch Facility (Big rocket go BOOM!), Lunar Reactor (Mainly for the music, and the fact that you make a generator go asplode.), Spin Cycle (Name?), Dark Side (The only instance where you can actually walk on the moon, other than DN1), Movie Set, Hotel Hell (Oh my, was that one a "blast." *bricked*), Freeway, Duke Burger, Pigsty
(Pig Sty?), and Derelect. ANd, if we can include levels from some add-ons, Captiol Punishment from Duke D.C.

Most disliked: The Abyss (The level is fine, it's just the friggin' Battlelord.), Incubator (So...dark...), Farenheit (I don't know. I just never really cared for that level.), Shop-n-Bag. (Again, don't know. Never really liked it.) ...ANd I suppose that's about it. Unless we can nab from add-ons again. In which case, the SMithsonian level in Duke D.C. SO many hours wasted...lost in those halls....

Fav. Episode: Hmm...I guess I'll have to say Shrapnel City. I don't know, I just think City-based levels are more fun.

Least Favorite Episode: ...DOn't have one. WIth the exception of Shrapnel City, I liked the other three equally. One might suggest to go with the flow and say "Lunar Apocalypse," but I don't know if I like that episode or not. On the one hand, the atmosphere is dark and depressing, kind of a nice break from all those happy-go-lucky games; ont he other hand, it's DARK and DEPRESSING. ...Exactly. Can't tell. All I can say is the people who thought up most of thatn episode knew how to play with your mind. When you fuirst enter the episode, it's like, "Okay, cool, I'm in space! Let's go kick some-" ...well you know. After the first three levels, the attitude changes a bit: "Okay, the atmosphere is starting to get to me. It's so quiet...I'm the only living male human on this station...everyone else is either dead or- *next word cut out*. But, it can't go on for THAT much longer, right? Right?!"
And just before you leave your home in a straight jacket, the developers put in a change a scenery. No longer are you in the vast lonliness of space. Now you're over the moon, and slowly but surely approaching it. THat wipes away some of that atmosphere. Then it makes up for it with a massive spike in difficulty. ;_;

Whew, i just finished that map. This is my first Duke D.C experience ever.. That Smithsonian map is just mad. Had to use Youtube walktrough video to help me out.

[Rigelatin]

Best

E2L7: Lunar Reactor
I like the gameplay and action in this level. Shooting aliens off the ledges with the rpg never gets old. Lively music too.

E2L8: Dark Side
Gameplay and atmosphere. Has my favorite song of the game. It's blue and cool which reminds me of Terminator 2. Also the v1.3D's demo is always fun to watch. It demonstrates all the weapons and basics.

E3L2: Bank Roll
Small and fun, rpg madness in the first building.

E3L5: Movie Set, E3L7: Fahrenheit, E3L8: Hotel Hell and E3L10: Freeway
Atmospheric levels and epic music.

E4L2: Duke Burger
Simple and fun. The best of the real life place -levels.

Worst

E2L4: Fusion Station
Cramped, dark and annoying. You can't see where the sentry drones are coming from in the outer area so it's quite a pain for 100% kills. It's also very tempting to go straight to the exit by jetpack in Damn I'm Good but then I can't get the secrets.

E4L10: Derelict
Tedious action. The RPV's orbit the boat like wimps, too many barrels on your way, protector drones getting too close when shooting rockets and running out of ammo, particularly in coop.

E4L11: The Queen
Most of the level recurs, annoying enemy placement and insane bossfight.

Favorite episode
Varies between E2 and E3. They're both atmospheric in their own ways. E2 has the spirit of the 80's- and early 90's action films. The blue lights on the walls and the explodable reactors remind me of Duke1. E3's climatic city setting gives me the feel of Duke2 and other side scroller classics, especially the later levels.

Least Favorite episode
E4 for two reasons: first for the protector drones that ruin the gameplay of otherwise well designed levels and second for the different atmosphere. E1 is still fun in skill 4 with 100% secrets without saving but it's getting easier and more lame the more I play it.

[Rider]

Favourite is probably a toss up between Hollywood Holocaust and Red Light District.

I absolutely abhor The Abyss. It's bland looking and really difficult to navigate because of that. I've been playing D3D for about 15 years now, and I still get lost in that one.

[dan2091]

Yeah, the first part was very confusing to me as well. Right now, it's all about getting that Blue card, go up, stand on that San Andreas failure sign and go on. But I find the last bit, the unveiling the alien ship/building, epic. I like this map, now.

I love HH, RLD from Episode 1, and Lunar Reactor and Dark Side from Episode 2. LR is very special, gameplay and music are memorable.

Special mentions goes to Launch Facility, I can't believe it's a secret level, it's too good and discovered it, too late. It's like an Oasis b-side, a hidden gem . And that final battle in Going Postal is massive!

I don't hate things , but a 'least favourite level' would be Tier Drops. Not bad, it's just ok, and given that it's a secret level, I omit it from my playthroughs, most times.

I'm from the crew that feels that Lunar Apocalypse is a nice break from the urban chaos. In fact, I may just call it my favourite episode, but they're all specials, from 1 to 4.

There's no most hated episode for me. If anything, I didn't like Nuclear Winter levels :P. First two levels are a good comeback, but it goes downhill after that. And the Smithsonian Museum in D.C., I'm with Petrick, here... I never thought it would be that confusing, until I played it, myself .

[Ras]

I always liked Freeway and Shop-N-Bag. Least favorite were probably Fusion Station or Tiberius Station.
