18 Video Game Moments That Gave You Memories For Life

4. Riding The Warthog In The Silent Cartographer - Halo

Speaking of characters who were just fun to embody and control, Halo's Master Chief brought the first-person shooter genre to consoles with a purpose that's not abated to this day. The entire game may be a showcase in how to structure a campaign with varied level design and meticulous weapon handouts dropping every few minutes, but it's the Silent Cartographer that became the one level we'd replay over and over.

From the beach landing that aped Medal of Honor: Frontline's storming of Normandy, to manning the cannons on a Warthog or delving into the inner-workings of forerunner architecture, every inch of this was put together with a heartfelt level of craftsmanship that elevated Bungie far above their contemporaries in every respect.
