I like halo!

Gah... it does look like a great map! Bungie are too good for you people I swear to god if anyone complains about it now... guardian was good enough but ya'll had to whine about it. People this is halo 3, not 2 - dont go crying to mummy when you realise it IS different. And now we're stuck with another lockout... But all in all great looking map should be fun to forge!! And kudos to bungie for listening to the many many many idiots who wanted a new lockout.

Nice Job! Although I preferred headlong over Lockout it was still a good map (I still think guardian was a fine replacement for it). What I would like to be in the next mappack is a HUGE map, by huge I mean HUGE. Coldsnap huge. (with a pelecan phantom and scarab)

I have to say, I'm dissapointed that it wasnt an original, but I'm ecstatic we finally have a night map.

More night maps PLEASE!!!

Now, where is the Boarding Action remake???

I agree, and to be honest it just looks ugly. Bungie has run out of ideas, and maybe it's better this way because the heroic maps were pretty lame. The only map I'm excited about is Avalanche, just looks awesome. I hope this means there will be a Coagulation or Waterworks strict remake.

I would also like a Waterworks remake. It was one of my favorite Big Team Slayer maps

it looks like the grav-lift is sporting a new red color. i hope it is really dark . . . would make awesome infection map. "An outbreak has occured in an isolated power plant, and there is no escape!" muhhhahahahaha. Also in the picture if you look at the zoomed h-res versions. The building were the Plasma Rifles and magnum once spawned has windows at the top and it looks like there are walkable beams with it.

Bungie just served up some win-sauce for this map.

This is the greatest thing since Grifball.

I believe that you mean you know it as lockout but thank you guys for making this map. It is my favorite map for halo 2 and know that you'll have made black out for halo 3 i'm buying it first chance if not for all the maps jsut for this one
thank you

Kick ass, thanks guys! Looks amazing, as does Sidewinder, uh, I mean Avalanche. One big one small, great variety!

*squeals happily* (I can do that, I'm a girl.)

  • 03.25.2008 12:13 PM PDT

this will work out great for the MLG circuit hopefully [I know it will] be implemented into the San Diego event and on. Same call outs and things. Now all we need is a midship xD haha most definitely for FFA's. Machinima will also be great on it too

  • 03.25.2008 12:14 PM PDT

yayy!!! wait a minute why yay? lockout was fun, but why is it that everyone wanted a remake of it... It wasn't the best map...

  • 03.25.2008 12:15 PM PDT

Reading this only proves that you're obsessed with me for some strange, durranged, and presumably sick reason.

I new that guardian was not lockout.

  • 03.25.2008 12:17 PM PDT

You only die once, better make it count.

thanks bungie but i was hoping more of a forge crazy map



why did you remake lockout again? (gardian)

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

I kinda hoped it wasnt lockout. GIANT LLAMA FTW! P.S. It'd be an aurora australis not borialis because its antarctic, not arctic.

Maintaining some of the little things that expert players liked to exploit. Those are all gone, now, your pets are dead, go home and cry.

Kidding, we did our best to keep it all in.



Do I foresee... Super Jumpers!

why? why the -blam!- did you remake Lockout? We need maps where we don't have anything like it in Halo 3 (Midhsip, Beaver Creak, Sidewinder(at least you did a good job on remaking sidewinder)) or just completly new maps. We already have -blam!- lockout. It's called gaurdian and it's alot better. Nice -blam!--up bungie.

Bugs in halo reach final game as of 9/2/10

in forge i am trying to make gametypes objectives but all i see is hill markers and flag points. If im trying to make a ctf game variant and i use the capture point and the flag stand and go into custom games. There is always a error saying "map not compatible with gametype" This is not just with ctf but with most other custom game and map variants.
EDIT: this was just a understanding issue that was cleared post-game release

holy crap thats my name

Actually, the green-lit shotty room'of'death from the original will be basked in red.
