Don't mess with Original!

I doubt Bungie recognizes the subtleties of Lockout, which made it so great. I would like to point out these subtle differences that seem to differ from the original map vs. the new map:

Blackout: Image I
Lockout: Image I
Lockout: Image II

(D: 1, D: 2, D: 3): Are all doorways, which hopefully all have stand able ledges. The shortcut (D:3) seem impossible to make.

(C: 1): Is where a small column/pillar use to stand alone, offering cover from fire. Without this the walkway (elbow) is way to open.

(W: 1): The pipes best be walkable.

(WW: 1): The sides of this walkway has no dept vs the original one.

Blackout: Image II
Lockout: Image III

(C: 1): The column/pillar(s) seem to give no cover from fire at close combat. The triangular side openings just seem to defeat any functionality offered from the column/pillar(s) as cover.

(P: 1): Again, the pipes best be walkable.

Blackout: Image III
Lockout: Image IV
Lockout: Image V

(D: 1, D: 2): All the shortcuts to BR lvl 3 look impossible!

Also you should be able use the middle drop from top of grav-lift.

HOLY CRAP

Thanks Bungie, though this "thanks" will fall on deaf ears, because you'll never know how grateful we are because you don't read the forums!

Toodles.

LOCKOUTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! This looks insane for Slayer and Lone Wolves. I was kinda hoping they would put in a map that would be better than Guardian and was more like Lockout.

YES!=D
I knew that "Moonlight Sonata" was going to be a remake of Lockout!
At first, I doubt that there was going to be Blackout because, we already have Guardian and many players remade the map (which does include me of course!) on Foundry.

Anyhow, good job Bungie for keeping what's good about Lockout!
Fans will be pleased!=)

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

I am pumped. Lockout was the jam, and Blackout looks amazing. I can't wait to forge a good infection map in Blackout.

Looks nice, although a little pointless since guardian already exists, but nice regardless. Also nice to see a nighttime map. I might actually spend the money and get this pack before it gets released for free. I do hope, however, that future DLC packs will consist of more new/original maps and not constant remakes.

  • 03.25.2008 6:08 PM PDT

Im still gonna call it Lockout im sooooo glad!!!!!

  • 03.25.2008 6:09 PM PDT

Did anyone notice Ling-Ling's head on the hi-res version of the screenshot entitled "Long View of Blackout"? It is in the bottom left-hand corner of the picture, you have to be looking for it to see it. One of the floating icebergs looks just like Ling-Ling. For those who don't remember, Ling-Ling was a crazy dog's head that would appear on the sign on the beach of Zanzibar from Halo 2 if your Xbox's date was set to 07/07/07. Pretty cool that they slid that in!

Bungie's On To Me!
More Webcam Awesomeness
And more....

I received Recon for being awesome. Like it matters anymore. Thanks ODST! :D

I-I think I just cried, that, and a mild bit of soiling in my pants, but let's just stick with crying.

Yay Blackout! ^_^
