15. Airstrip - Uncharted 3

Uncharted changed cover-based third-person shooters forever by adding something so rudimentary that many designers wondered how they couldn't have been the one to think of it, platforming.

Giving their maps a vertical element made Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3: Darke's Deception, one the premiere shooter of the Playstation 3's era. Airstrip is one of the maps that emphasizes all of Uncharted's best qualities, making players jump from truck to truck, evading shots from other riders, trying to make it into one gigantic plane before it takes off. The action is frenetic and dynamic, with each jump putting the player right into the face of danger.

After the plane takes off, it brings the action to a static cargo station where the rest of match takes place. From there, scores will be settled as players hop across shipping containers and take cover in warehouses. The map also carried some valuable treasures, game changing super weapons, and a turret that was both of strategic importance to both teams and a power-trip to be behind.

Multi-stage multiplayer maps haven't been done often outside of this game, making Uncharted 3 a bold product of its time. To this day though, it stands as one of the PS3's best exclusives, helping the console rally back to prominence after having one of the worst launches in video game history.
