I love that you guys decided to take on a remake of Lockout. It's such a solid small-sized map - it'll be a great addition to the library. On top of that, it's looking fantastic!

If you're still finalizing the lighting for Blackout, I did a little paintover in my downtime. I only suggested very subtle changes, but I had to see what it'd look like to seperate the shapes and forms a bit more.

You can have a look at my paintover here

With the original screenshot here


Take care, and good luck with your other projects and DLC!!

Nerd Rage - It makes the internet go 'round.

Blackout isn't exactly the same as Lockout! I demand an angry e-rage boycott!

"I don't even dare call those things magnums."

First time posting after an update. (Hazing time) Personally, I don't like the weapon placements and weapons on Blackout. Sniper, shotgun, and sword are a must. Battle Riffle also, yet I see no SMGs or Assault Riffles on the map. Too many pistols (I don't dare call that weapon a Magnum). The equipment that you chose to put in there is great. Also another little hint is to make a it a little easier to find frag grenades, there was a shortage of them when I used to play Lockout. Although I'm sure it's easier to kill with plasmas, I still like the quick explosion of a frag and the nice three burst shot to the face. Also now could be a good time to actually have more than just two types of grenades in a map. I'm sure that everyone would like to see that (this also includes the firebombs). Maybe this is a little bit of a text wall, but I'm sure you like some of the ideas, not just from me, but everyone. The best thing is that you remade Lockout, I'm sure it was on everyone's favorite map list. Although I like how your redoing maps, I love seeing some new work. Also, playing Shotty Snipers on Relic again would be wonderful. A BIGTACTULAR Thanks to the staff at Bungie (Yes, I'm always a nice person).

Blackout seems to be a heavier-looking but slightly cut down version of lockout.

Very slightly.

What you need is ranked TEAM SNIPERS first to 50. And make the primary weapon a Human sniper Rifle and the secondary a Covenant Sniper so that it is completely snipers and none of that crappy shotty snipes. Also try to add a social hopper for this too. Do this and a lot of people will be happy.

YaYa

How come blackout has such a little amount of weapons

Okay, so what's the new forge object gonna be. I say it's gonna be a volleyball net.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

1. Rollover pictures are sweet. How do you do them?

2. It looks like the edge of the Middle is full of holes... is the Middle to Sniper 3 jump still do-able? Do you just have to be really careful about it? Or are those holes really just glass?

I also forgot to ask:
3. Can you get onto the roofs of the Sniper and BR Towers?

I'm kinda sad. Looks like you cant still jump from elbow to sniper tower. That added some more variety when in battle. :(
