Hell's Kitchen, Superfreighter and Hong Kong are all great.
MJ12 Base/UNTACO was kino.
Jace Long
Love the underwater base and Versalife
Elijah Hughes
Hong Kong, super jumping along rooftops
Camden Gonzalez
Paris, avoiding patrols at night, talking in the bar, doing side stuff, pure kino
Isaiah Watson
Paris was pretty solid too.
"Is the wine here any good?"
James Fisher
I liked the missile silo mission.
Austin Garcia
The one with the underwater base and Hong Kong
Oliver Diaz
Hell's Kitchen

Camden Murphy
Hong Kong.
Your dropped in a massive hub on the run from the UN, deemed a terrorist by the media, and you have a kill switch ticking in you.
Find Tong.
Kevin Allen
I can't decide between Versalife, and the ocean lab.
Gavin Rogers
I never asked for this.
Brandon Sanchez
Gameplay wise?
The Naval Yard.
Setting wise?
Area 51, duh.
Gavin Morales
Why does this game's level design go from being so great up until the Naval Yard to overly linear and restrictive, with Vandenberg being the only exception late-game?
Gavin Howard
The Lebedev mission. Hobos, conspiracies, secret tunnels and revelations. It is absolute perfection.
Ian Green
Hell's Kitchen as a whole is fantastic. Versalife is really cool. Vandenberg is nice. I like the atmosphere in Paris, especially the cathedral and the chateau.
Gavin Perez
For me, it's Hong Kong and that delightful music
Juan Nguyen
so many good ones!!
Xavier Gomez
really hard to pick as they're all incredible past the hong-kong intro, probably underwater lab or lebedev
Oliver Garcia
The Palisade Bank is the best level in the series.
Hudson Johnson
>Favourite
Humble up and learn to speak proper American on my website you filthy anglo.
Sebastian Gray

Loving Every Laugh
Hudson Morris
That's not a rebuttal. The level is excellent.
Sebastian Bell
DUDE VENTILATION SHAFTS LMAO
Josiah Wright
nah, it was super easy to get into the vault.
Parker White
....and?
It's still more complex than anything from DX1.
Bentley Roberts
The new Deus Ex levels aren't as organically designed as the original and whenever you see a vent it feels like the devs deliberately placed it rather than you as the player traversing a real environment.
Jose Stewart
You guys know any based Deus Ex YT channels like Rahn?
Jaxon Hernandez
Alexander Green
This comment right here about vents
Noah Baker
Vandenberg. Those two mechs fighting the big one is really fucking cool.
Jayden Anderson
DX1's environments aren't graphically or mechanically designed in realistic ways at all, what are you smoking?
Nolan King
Fuck, now I have to play this again
Ian Powell
HK
Bentley Baker
I need you to escape. I can cut power to the doors only a few seconds without being detected. Get ready.
Jayden Gonzalez
Oh my god JC, a bomb!
Charles Harris
Hell's Kitchen, Hong Kong, and everything in Paris was pure ludo.
Dominic Cooper
HR really had great leveldesign, with all of the hidden rooms you can get into in cities and whatnot. I feel like devs were mostly inspired with hong kong from DX1, so it was kinda like
>let's make every settlement feel like it
The only issue could be a GPS that ruins your fun, because you don't need to keep orientation while running around those beautiful cities, so you're not focused on all of those nice little details because your center of view stays in the bottom left corner of your display.
Blake Foster
i feel that
Evan Kelly
Vandenberg and versalife labs for gameplay
hong kong and paris streets for atmosphere
Parker Rivera
>MJ12 Base/UNTACO was kino.
literally got chills the first time I played when I realized what was going on
Isaac Walker
Vandenberg and VL labs have some top tier atmosphere too
Austin Johnson
>Graphically
Irrelevant. They're visually sufficient representations.
>Mechanically
A lot of them are literally based on blueprints and the others are designed around similar principles of lived-in, organic spaces you need to traverse rather than simple arenas for mechanics.
Carson Roberts
It was really interesting, moving through the normal and peaceful hub area with all of the once-friendly NPCs turning hostile.
Asher Howard
Don't mind me, just posting the best conversation music
Tyler Bailey
Does unused music count?

Noah Cooper
Are there any good mods I should install before doing a replay? Haven't played DX1 in nearly a decade.
Lincoln Gutierrez

Jonathan Ortiz
this part was so good. It was so foreboding in the chateau, just snooping around and finding bits and pieces about the illuminati and the life of one of its members. The icarus messages were so creepy too
Bentley Powell
You keep telling yourself that. They look like very crude jumbles of large polygons for the most part, big flat bare textures and small numbers of big, flat textured objects. They look empty, unintentionally brutalist and...well, Quake.
And no, they're not. Liberty Island is a massively contrived, nowhere near accurate representation of the actual place, for example. The DX1 levels are much more of the "simple arenas for mechanics" you describe, as their lack of believable graphical fidelity means there's little point in even trying for organic design, which they didn't do. Environments like the Sub Base, the Denfert Rochereau, the Helibase, and Tonnochi Road are obviously contrived for gameplay on their face, it's not even debatable.
Thomas Moore
I mean, HR literally had Detroit ripping off Hell's Kitchen and Shanghai ripping off Hong Kong. It couldn't get more blatant.
Carter Russell
When you break out of MJ12 / Unatco homebase. Always feels good to come out on top as an underdog
Jace Campbell
Versalife. Great music in the beginning too. I don't know why the rest of that level didn't use it
Josiah Hill
Because it's an MJ12 Lab, so it gets the MJ12 music.
John Mitchell

Carry on, Agent.
Luis White
Hong Kong hands down because it felt so immense but it was really well made and you didn't get super lost exploring something meaningless.
Fuck Paris.
Everything else was A+
Asher Murphy
Ryder Richardson
Whoops wrong link!

Carter Hughes
God I wish invisible war could have been good. Fuck, I enjoyed the shit out of The Nameless Mod because most of the level design was good, you had pretty varied playstyles, and the game had some of that "in the process of becoming sci-fi" look that DX1 did so well.
>Hey guys, for DX2, let's remove skills and skill points, fuck up the inventory system, use universal ammo to deincentivize using varied weapons, turn the augs into a shitpost, break the levels into segments, and completely discard the setting and technological level of the original.
Of course, DX3/4 would still need to do the same thing with the level of technology.
Joshua Rogers
>Hong Kong hands down.
This.
but for Paris - Cathedral was awesome, I don't care what anybody says. Maybe it's because I cheesed Gunter from a vent while he ran around screaming about needing a Skul-gun, I dunno, but I loved that mission.
Jack Kelly
That's actually a close second for me, then it's good ol
Nicholas Collins
God tier music. Some excellent composers. And it all fit the look, mood and feel so well.
Alexander Brandon

Parker Peterson
For some autistic reason, Jonas and some others are revamping The Nameless Mod, so stay tuned.
Connor Anderson
Damn, I'm hyped already. What are they trying to do?
Justin Murphy
Ayden Anderson
I don't think it was bad per se it just gave me claustrophobia and i fucking hated being there.
Oliver Brown
this mod is sick, really glad it's still getting attention
Luis Miller
fuck yeah dude
Xavier Phillips
I actually really like Revision Paris. In the original probably the missile base.
Chase Powell
Saying Hong Kong kind of feels like cheating, since it serves as both a hub and several 'levels', but it's perfect and Versalife is easily one of the best and most iconic levels ever made. I love all of DX equally though, there's so much variety and the different locations complement each other so perfectly. Paris is excellent too with the catacombs, streets and cathedral and the DuClare mansion rounding it off. Pretty much the whole game are such great examples of level design I still don't quite know today how they pulled it off, only Thief 2 and Dishonored ever reached these heights since, HL2 if we're counting entirely different games. Even the gas station and silo are a nice change of scenery and pace and full of surprises.
I really need to replay this, I think I've forgotten enough of my five playthroughs that it's time again.
Jordan Wood
Hong Kong. Tonnochi road is full of nooks and crannies to investigate.
Parker Rogers
Fair assessment. I think if I had to pick a single level, it'd definitely be Area 51 just cause of how exciting the game was and the level delivered on that.
Charles Edwards
Landon Morales
how come no one ever mentions this game predicted an nyc terrorist attack right before 9/11
Tyler Harris
The stage with the ship that you had to infiltrate and blow up
Ian Myers
All of you are wrong. This is the best one:
youtube.com
You literally can't refute this. The part from 0:12 to 0:22 is godly.
Hudson Butler
>1:15 to 1:27
so many years later every fucking time it gets me
Jaxon Carter
people talk about it all the time, it's just silly to believe the game predicted anything. all the plot points and themes were simply taken from real theories at the time, it didn't really come up with anything. the twin towers just weren't put in the skybox because it had to be kept within a certain dimension.
Andrew Cruz
Because the anthrax attacks literally said it would happen.
Elijah Ortiz
Ludo tastes. Level design and integration of the gameplay really is the most important part of vidya.
Luke Wood
I'd have to say hong kong is the best level. going under water to get to secret places is just awesome.
Ryan Thompson
MJ12 Base UNATCO, Hell's Kitchen 1 & 3, Hong Kong and Chateau DuClare
Julian Brooks
My dude the trade center was already the site of a terrorist attack before 9/11 and the idea of islamic terrorism didn't come out of nowhere. The shock was how bad it was. Not that it simply CUD NOT HAPPN.
Deus Ex and a fuckload of other media was drawing on past events for inspiration. Why was no one shocked? Because events happened before 9/11.
Jaxon Mitchell
I think Vandenberg Tunnels, Hong Kong, the DuClare Chateau and the cathedral are my favourites, but I love the whole game.
Jordan Gray
>shitting on nu deus ex level design
It's one of the things that is much better in new games than in the first one. Locations in the first game were realistic, and gameplay wise pretty good for their time, but newer games just blow it out of the park. It's one of those things modern immersive sims usually get very right
