...and the fanboys said "Yeah," and there was much rejoycing.

That wasn't a knock on it. I remember Lockout being one of my favorite maps from Halo 2. It's going to be great to play it again considering the population of Halo 2 has dropped to a frustrating low point.


duh! there a reason its cAlled halo3, cause it go's AFTER halo 2, thats why halo 2 has a low population...

THE WHOLE MAP PACK LOOKS AWESOME, MUCH BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS, BUT FOUNDRY ROCKS...

I love the new frozen oil-rig setting for Blackout, it's a nice change of scenery from the metallic forerunner look of it's precursors.

I'm sorry Bungie, but I just lost about 60% of my faith in you. I know that this was a very popular choice (obviously) and I'll admit that it looks awesome, but I'm still disapointed. I've felt for some time that H3 was missing something, I wasn't sure what, but something that made H2 such an amazing game. I finally figured it out after playing the Heroic maps and looking at the legendaries. In my opinion the maps in H3 lack the spirit, the sort of replayability and sheer epicness that really made H2 for me. Sure there's tons of fun still, but I find myself sighing disapointedly (is that even a word?) whenever I realize I won't be playing coagulation or turf (possibly my favorite map). So when you announced more new maps I was hopeful that some of this old 'fire' would find it's way in. However I was disapointed. I'm sure that the maps will be excellent, (especially avalanche), but I don't feel like Lockout, while fun, actually captured this spirit. And yes, I am aware that forge takes steps to fix this, but still it doens't seem enough. Sorry, just wanted to say my piece.

Sincerely, Fi


LOL R U SERIOUS!!!! BUNGIE JUST ANSWERED ABOUT 90% OF HALO PLAYERS DREAMS TDAY!!!. Bungie said "Ghost Town" was slightly like Turf. You seriously can't be complaining about this. LOCKOU..(i mean) BLACKOUT is BACK!!!! I swear tday really does make me realize that life can have some astoundingly good turns for the better. BUNGIE is great, they listen to their fans. I think bbungie just got one step closer to ruling the world.(weep)


haha your so dumb. Don't you remember when bungie said that guardian was the spiritual successor to lockout? Too bad people fail at seeing this. Maybe Ghost Town is supposed to be like Turf, but now I want an EXACT remake of it. Seeing as I am going to have to pay for a map I had when I bought Halo 3, I might as well pay for Turf again.


Yeah, a 'spiritual successor' that has basically the same layout. Now they come out with a re-make that has the exact same layout. What do you get? Two maps that are pretty much the same, except for a grav lift here and a ramp or two there.


Im butting In you guys are complete morons, The reason people wantedd a REAL remake of Lockout is becouse guardian is NOTHING like lockout, except for the one main lift.


Exactly

I like the look, but (not saying its ugly) its not the best looking H3 map, I think they need to daren the colors some more, and add like, some ICE?
or some snow- little patches ontop of the helipad, I mean hey We're In the ARTIC!

Seriously though, I bet it will look better ingame, and ill buy it and play the hell out of it either way.

I'm too old to have a signature.

If they bring back midship, consider my life over. Seriously, I can see why MLG loves it, but I dont... So garbage. While they are at it, why dont they remake warlock again? Oh wait, doesnt mlg already have a map which is an almost exact remake? Too bad... Bungie <3's remaking maps we already have.

(Im paying all my 800 points for avalanche, a map which I am actually looking god damn forward too)

Center arena? Check.
4-5 Entraces to Arena? Check.
3 areas overlooking arena? Check.
A bunch of random ramps and hallways connecting them together? Check.

The maps look and play out the same.

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

**The following is my opinion***

I think its sad that bungie's creativity in level design has drop to the point that all folks are looking forward to, are "REMakes". Sure, Blackout looks cool but DAMN, Didnt we just leave Halo2? Bungie made Gardian, which is inspired by Lockout....shouldnt that be enough. Sidewinder/ Avalanche is welcomed in my opinion because not too many people experienced the joys of playing this on xbxconnect, Lan Parties or just 4 players on one screen. Seem like a waste of time and sad way to cash leech.

Will I buy the map pack? Sure! Mainly for Ghost town and Avalanche and also my friends that I play with everyday. Bungie just lack creativity and officially among the ranks with companies thats just flat out boring...like EA. Next map pack, please do something original. And if you are going to remake something...please pick something from HALO 1!!!

i was waiting to hear the last map name. But really, i would have preferred a midship remake. It has most of the same elements as lockout does, but not enough to call them similar. I think; it would have been better because of type of map it was and the atmosphere it would have had. Literally fighting in 'space' sounds awesome to me. Mostly, i would have liked a midship remake better because, mainly because we already have a lockout remake when you consider it to be guardian. But, it was stated that it was a preferred map by the community, and 'majority over minority' as they say. Good job bungie keep em comin.
