Subject: What makes Lockout so amazing?

We all know Lockout is the greatest map in any FPS ever. Come on, don't deny it. But what about, from a MLG-Pro perspective, makes it so great?

Small number of power weapons, clean and bland look to the map that is reminiscent of Halo 1 maps like Hang 'em High. It's a map that doesn't have much eye candy and thus allows for easy visibility even on split screen. It's not too big where the BR becomes useless and the sniper too overpowered and there are tons of little jumps for shortcuts that make this map very dynamic.

Maybe map design, but I love Lockout!

It's a great combination of close range to far range combat. The rooms are tiny and spread apart allowing some interesting battle scenarios.

It's crazy to think on that little map when you get far enough away and zoom in with the sniper rifle the little dot doesn't even turn red when you're sniping at somebody. You can get spread out even more than you think on that map.

It also takes some serious skill to master combat in the sniper tower area, there's so many complicated jumps you can do. I haven't really mastered it yet and i've been playing Halo2 online for about two years now (im a 31 -blam!-es in one month so far loolol) but I've gotten insanely good at confusing people at the top of the BR tower because theres one way to get in besides jumping up from the middle. Can joo say nade+BR=deaded bish?

And who doesn't love the two suicide rooms? (The room under the middle of the map and the one under sniper tower) ahhh yes. So much chaos. Can't beat it.

Agreed...best map in any FPS period.

I don't really enjoy Lockout all that much.

"I thought I'd try shooting my way out...mix things up a little."

The holes in the floors/ceilings.

Actual game conversation:

NinjaKilla : "Why don't you just throw a grenade down that hole there?"

Pimpin Gangsta : "Ho! What Ho?"
