Subject: Your Favorite Marathon Level(s)

They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Post your favorite Marathon level name, and your favorite Marathon level. I'm quite curious to see what everyone liked in the trilogy. This covers all three games.

If you don't know the name of a level, or which one you liked, look here for a list: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/contents.html

For example:
My favorite level name: Where the Twist Flops, Marathon 2
My favorite level: Shake Before Using..., Marathon 1
My other favorite level: Smells Like Napalm, Tastes Like Chicken!, Marathon 1

If you really want to, you can also post your reasoning behind your favorites.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

My favorite level is definitely "God Will Sort The Dead..." The tension was killing me. (I always tried to keep as many bobs alive as possible)

And my favorite level name is "Begging For Mercy Makes Me Angry!"

Best name?
Hmm. I always remember 'Poor Yorrick' because i realized it was a Hamlet reference and then i was like 'a-ha, these games are intellectual'

You're Wormfood, Dude is quite a catchy name

Favourite level, tough one. Acme Station in Infinity was amazing, the way you faced dozens of Phor who were dispatched like SWAT teams, and you could SEE them on the other side of the station running in your direction. All the time your oxygen was running out. That level was pure tension.

The first level of Infinity is also so atmostpheric, i always remember the broken doors and flickering lights and chaotic terminal messages

There's an Infinity level where you and a couple of Phor shock troopers are at a bunker entrance and you have to fight through various sections with massive security doors opening one by one. that was epic

Then there's Hang Brain where you fight your way to the core and destroy Durandal. Awesome carnage in the mainframe room

Can't remember the earlier games too well though. There was good one near the start of M2 where you arrive with a big team of Bobs and have a good shootout against the Phor, before you have to leave everyone else behind and jump down a shoot (they can't survive the fall cause they're just humans)
