Like many people, I love these areas.

Forest and hills - The first hunting ground for many people, and a preferred one for everyone else. Nice clifftop plains and a good wood as well. My only problem is area 9, way too constricted for fighting a 20m wyvern. At least the stupid camera angle was removed from gen 1, where the camera was right next to the back of the hunters head. I think this constriction was kind of the point though, making the player fight against the enviroment as well as the monster. Old jungle's dense foliage is another example of this.

Deserted Island - again, the first experience of MH for so many people, and a good first impression. My favorite thing about it is that I always keep on finding new things - all those ruins, a lovely touch. Especially the broken dragonator in area 10.

Mountain peaks - as I have yet to hunt here, I cannot form a firm opinion, but it does look very nice.

One thing though - as mountain peaks basicly replaced the great forest, shouldn't that be included here as well? I do like the great forest.
