zomg! when i heard that there was going to be a map LIKE lockout on halo 3 i was excited, but then i played it, and i was disappointed, i mean no offense to bungie, but guardian just isnt lockout, lockout was pretty much one of my favorite maps, and along with avalanche this is going to be one 1337 map pack, and it comes out on my birthday too! that's awesome lol, i suggest a coagulation remake next, i know valhalla is close, but coag was one of my all time favorite maps, valhalla is my favorite atm but we'll see about that when "blackout" comes out

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)

This is pure genuis!
What bungie should do is start looking at the awsome maps from Halo Custom Edition and start implementing them into Halo 3.

Blood Gulch, CMT_Snow _Grove, and Coldsnap = awsome mythic map pack.

That is Awesome!!! I can't wait until April 15th, and they said that these will be in the matchmaking right, or will that be the old DLC that will be in Team slayer and all the other ranked gametypes?

Wow. You never see night-time maps too often. Lockout is the bomb, too.

+7 for Bungie.

Will the ledgendary map become free, so I don't waste my money like I did for the heroic map pack?

*Cough*

Lockout was my most favorite map in halo 2, i am thrilled to se it come back in Blackout (nice name btw). Now if only they would bring back Acention... (having happy halo 2 memories).

This is the most coolest thing ever. I missed lockout so MUCH!! But im worried about some features. like Can i jump from the middle railing to BR tower? and can i hide on the side to snipertower by jumping on the pillar? I NEED 2 KNOW

The way you're talking it sounds like you've never even played Lockout. Besides, are you gonna say that

Besides are you telling me that Ascension is a copy of lockout?

Big arena- Check
4-5- enterances- check
3- structures that overlook arena- check
ramps n stuff- check



.OWNED


no... not owned, because ascension's layout isn't identical to lockout's..

Bungie, we knew it was coming!

This new and improved version of Lockout looks outstanding, as do all the other maps.

I can't wait to play a cool game of Infection on it with a bunch of Forged items.

Oh, I also can't wait to play on it in MM. But apart from that.... ^_^

Am I the only one who thinks this was a waste of resources? I mean, Guardian is close enough to Lockout that I really didn't care. It was only the hardcore, 12 year old, chocolate milk drinking (just kidding on the last one) kids who were begging for this map. I mean, all my friends agreed, yes, we miss Lockout, but it's new design in Guardian is fine, and works to the mechanics of Halo 3.

I mean, we could have had a completely different map made, like, I don't know, Battle/Beaver Creek, as that isn't even slightly present in Halo 3. Or how about Wizard/Warlock, or maybe Midship. Something that wasn't done to some extent already.

I'll admit, Avalanche was a surprise that was welcomed, and Ghost Town looks like it'll be great, but this one is the major disappointment to me. I want something somewhat fresh. Now we'll have the twins: Guardian and Blackout... that seems like intellegent multiplayer map design.


i guess that means 90% of halos communtiy is 12 years old

I cant wait to see Lockout return as Blackout. I love guardian as much as the next guy, but the differences between it and Lockout were too many (and i mean the little things). I am so happy to see this return. Now I will wait for Blood Gulch (sorry Valhalla isnt my Blood Gulch). I hope it isnt a destroyed Blood Gulch (since halo blew up) lol

Do not judge a person a fool by the foolish things they do, but by how many times the foolish things are done

while i have no serious complaints about lockout being back in
i do have one very small one
GUARDIAN IS SO SIMILAR!

it has the walkway and the grav life and the underground walkways
its almost exactly the same except for ascetic looks and a few geometry changes

now we have two lockouts is all im saying even though i loved lockout in halo 2 itll play differently now and wont be as good
a headlong remake wold have been better

If anyone says lockout and guardian are the same they have problems. The only thing that is similar between the two is the size. Everything about them is different. I just don't get how you compare them to each other. Stop for a second and think about it or something cause they are not the same.
