[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;38693827]it felt very weird fighting a war in the ruins of my country's capital.[/QUOTE]
They probably did too during the war of 1812
Ace Combat 04. The one where you liberate the city the kid narrator is from and while you're flying between the buildings shooting helicopters the civilian radio station is broadcasting your progress.
I felt like a hero when I played that mission.
Toy Commander's Louis the Lemur mission. It was awesome to carry and deploy a squad of ragtag plastic soldiers up and out of the garage room and going way in enemy lines to reclaim your helicopter just so you can shoot a Lemur to death with exploding pencils.
anything from timesplitters 2 / FP
probs the best would be the siberian dam level in 2 and the mansion level in fp
Far Cry 1
Level 2, carrier. One of the better stealth levels in the game, and fun every single time.
I have so many but this one pops-out in my mind

This part was just fucking genius, and there weren't even any enemies the first time you are there.

Speaking of which.
Max Payne 2's Dearest of All My Friends level gets me every time. The one where [sp]Vinnie gets caught in that suit with the bomb[/sp]. and also Max Payne 3's Airport level where

plays. The action in that.

unless GTA V lets you do this, this is and always will be my favorite mission in a game.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault's U-boat pen mission was completely awesome.

Nothing quite like showing a German your fake papers, and machine gunning him to death as soon as he Sieg Heil's you.

I prefer the last mission.

My favorite levels were always the ones were the protagonist looks like they're losing, everything's been pulled out from under them, and they have nothing else to lose. I really like the mood and vibe of those types of levels (ie Halo 4's level "Midnight")
But i'll have to go to a classic: Marathon 2: Durandal's chapter "Durandal"
[IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100920070356/marathongame/images/5/5d/Ch5.durandal.jpg[/IMG]
or Halo 2's "The Arbiter" -- i mean you cut the freaking station off of it's tether!

Jak 3: Destroying KG-Robot factory in the sky. Man, it was the coolest. (It's bigger on the inside)

That was one of the worst missions in a game EVER.
Ace Combat 4, last mission, Megalith. Take down the last of Yellow Squadron and do death star style runs with barely any space for your plane to fit in, saving the day to this tune: [video=youtube;nZ6ABV_Q9qU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ6ABV_Q9qU[/video]
Ace Combat 6, Aigaion, 'nuff said. Just look at this shit.

Besides the ladder mission in MGS3, another great moment in the series (I thought) was the microwave hall scene:

(Spoilers)
In addition, while this doesn't count as a level per say, the Titans in 2142 made up some of the most immersive experiences I've had in a game. I was so intense blowing up their reactor, running out of the exploding hall ways, knifing some guy near the edge then base jumping right before it explodes. Goddamn I want a 2143.
"The Cruiser" in Killzone 2. Heart pounding all the way being in there.
Also, Pillar of Autumn, Truth and Reconciliation, and Cairo Station in Halo 1/2.
I don't know why, but I just love levels that involve boarding action on space ships/stations, be it on the defensive or offensive side.

I totally get that. Between the Titans in 2142, the cruisers in Battle front 2, what you've mentioned, etc, those levels are usually so intense.
The last level in EDF2017
[sp]Aliens have destroyed everything, all hope is lost, no chance of winning, your mission is too simply give one last stand and go down fighting. Over the course of the mission your teamate die and you can hear radio chatter of HQ. Eventually you hear radio chatter from a scout unit going, "Hey wait, I still see fighting....IT'S STORM ONE (you) HE'S STILL FIGHTING THE ENEMY!" and then radio chatter lights up. All talking about how there is just this one dude fighting everything. Suddenly all the recon units start asking for permission from HQ to join you in fighting the enemy. And eventually you manage to destroy the mother ship.[/sp]
For a game that was made to purposely be cheesy that level gives me shivers everytime from the awesomeness of it.
Fight with The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3.
The agroprom underground in S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl is good, very atmospheric. The labs aswell.

There should be more missions like this.

I don't think he's talking about the murder spree part, I think he's talking about later in the mission when you fight the russian response team and they come at you with lines of riot shields and massive numbers of troops.
Dishonered - "The Golden Cat Bathhouse"
Really enjoyed this mission. Reminds me to get back and stuck into that game.

I like that part in Halo where you look around to adjust your controls. That was really awesome.
Arsenal Gear from Metal Gear Solid 2.
Everything just goes batshit insane.
Lady Boyle's last party from Dishonored, I like party mission in games in general, gives a nice change of pace.
