Favorite Levels on COD4

Spoiler alert. If you have not played the Act I level called "Death from Above" do not watch this video!

For those of you who have played it read below.

This is by far my favorite level of COD 4. I find this level fascinating and really enjoy the use of such a kick a$$ weapon system. Of course I still have yet to complete the single player campaign so this may change. Although I highly doubt it as I have replayed this mission no less that 10 times just to hear the commentary and see the little bodies flying in the air.

Has anyone played this level? Also if you have what difficulty level did you play it at? I have tried it on 3 levels and really did not notice a difference in difficulty.

See you online.
