I often hear players talking about how they want more Lockout in matchmaking. I would have to agree one hundred percent. People love the map. When you're in a custom game, it's usually what people want to play. When you're going to play a 1v1 that's the map that you use. Why doesn't Bungie give us what we want?

If you look at the statistics Bungie takes every now and then, in custom games, Lockout is played a huge amount over all the other maps. It dwarfs all the other maps in popularity. But yet, we get stuck with maps that when they show up in the lobby, alll I hear is " AHHH! Not this map! "

I dunno. What do you all think?

It doesn't matter to me what map I play on. I think the reason they haven't put it in more is because everyone does use it. That means that everyone knows where all the weapons spawn, what areas to avoid, and how to do everything on the map. Everyone is good on that map. The way it is now you have to learn to be good on every map, not just one or two, it helps keep you at your skill level because you may own someone who is a 40 on lockout, because you know the map, but not be able to kill a 20 on a different map you don't know. You should only be a higher level if you can play well on every map not just one. Besides that I like the variety that the playlists have, it would get boring playing on lockout all the time.

I think Locout is so amazing because even though it's not symetrical, it's such an even, and fair map. It's perfect in almost all gametypes, and people just all around love it. If people love it that much, then why not give it to the people?

I mean really. I might be a little more in love with the map than everyone else. But I love to play MLG FFA on it with no limit. People will play for hundreds of kills. And never get bored..

Lockout is good but it gets controlled by the sniper. I like more symmetrical maps with a sniper for both teams.

Lockout is only the best map in halo for slayer and KOTH ! If it were up to me Lockout,Midship,Ivory Tower ,Sanctuary,Colossus, and turf would be the only maps in any slayer or KOTH gametype!! Anyone else agree?

miship most definitly, its a very smooth playing map, your always in the fight, whereas lockout, though it is small, there are tons of spaces you can get into, midship your exposed 100% of the time it feals like

One of my Halo 3 montages.

i just want more of the better maps like zanzibar, sanctuary, burial mounds, lockout, relic, and terminal. less of warlock, elongation, and gemini

b/c then you would have RHC, ranked RP, ranked BTSK, 6 v 6, ranked SWAT, Rumble Snipers, Sniper Training, Ranked Big Team Slayer, Team Carnage, Team Actionsack, Head 2 Head, Minor Clanmatch, and Major Clanmatch.

Now, on to why they won't do this:
1) Playing the same map over and over again, is redudant, retarded, and stupid.
2) There are tons of maps, just b/c it might be considered the best by some, it isn't to others. Personally, Headlong is the best or Coagulation.
and 3) Lockout is only balanced with a BR start which tends to lead to the BG glitch argument and MLG argument

You do know that you just said the same thing three times...redundant, retarded, and stupid...

  • 08.16.2007 10:12 AM PDT

Moo

No. I think we should remove Lockout and replace it with more games in Tombstone or Desolation.......kidding :O

There isn't enough Lockout in MM, but at least you can make up for it in customs.

ummm, they are not all the same. redundant isn't close to retarded or stupid, however retarded and stupid are similar but not the same. so if that is all you can pick from my post, then you must agree with me and voted no. oh wait, your probably one of the morons who voted yes.

No one is a moron for wanting their favorite map more in matchmaking, and redundant, stupid, and retarded, in the way you put them, are all similar, since they are being used for the sole purpose of saying thats its stupid voting yes.

I wasn't trying to pick a fight with him or anything, just wanted him to know that he could have said one of the three words and pretty much still mean the same.

Yeah, that dude is a total troll. He's the one the obviously doesn't do his research. If he's been a Halo fan or checked Bungie as long as I have been maybe he would know.

the main reason that I play on lockout so much besides the fact that I like the map is that with all of the map load errors on the 360, lockout is the one map that works 99 percent of the time.

I agree with everything except Lockout being boring. I <33333333333333333 Lockout. I wouldn't mind if it was the only multiplayer map.

I'm fine with any map except Ascension. I hate Ascension so much.

:EDIT: How do you get the quote tags to show who says it? o_O;;
