I miss playing Halo with my friends.

These maps look like they're going to be a lot of fun with those forge items.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Question for Bungie:

A while back you guys had mentioned in a weekly update that there was this view that you changed to that made it so you only saw a vector form of the objects, or an outline of the objects in a green line. An example of this is on the 9/7/07 weekly update thumbnail pic which can be seen 7th from the bottom on this page.

Anyways, I was wondering if this would be one of the camera effects of this new forge item mentioned in the4/4/08 weekly update?

'Locked In' Forum - DOWNLOAD & RATE!

Hello forge users and Halo fans,

This is my remake of Lockout. I made this because of my love for lockout and some other good remakes inspired me and made me want to do this after downloading the heroic map pack. I began doing this last week Monday and it did cost me a lot of time so nice ratings or comments would be appreciated. Even though Blackout is coming, this map wil be great for primitive costum games and for the people who dont want to buy the upcoming map pack. Its not perfect like lockout, its more similair. I could made it excactley, but the budget system hold me down. I did NOT use the budget glitch. But every weapon, fusion coil, most camping places, ninja jumping with help of grav lifts and objects and some memorable areas makes this map a must look and download. This was my summary. Download now if you dont like to read stories lol.

My review of my own map.
First of all. I played it with some friends and even unknown players and it played good. The spawnings are working fine and the weapon spawns were OK. This map has some good and bad things. Mostly good though. Lets start with the good ones shall we?
- it has a feeling/vibe.
- if you get out of the map, you can get in while jumping on wirespools and grav lifts.
- the grav lifts also makes those ninja jumping actually jumpable (example: sniper tower to the path above the shotgun). also jumping on example fence walls makes gameplay faster.
- it has not the same camping places, but it has a few old (yeey window) and new ones (see recent screens).
- like I said, all of the weapons, nades and fusion coils are excactly on the same place in this map.
- the respawnings are similair, but not really the same so dont get mad about this. I just made some up by myself.
- the arena has a fence wall in the middle so it gives the effect of the actual glass in lockout. also you can shoot through fence walls that gives it a new twist to gameplay.
- with the large barriers I ment for NOT crossing or jumping over it, but more camping/crouching. With the short barriers I ment that you can jump over it and still stay 'in' the map.
- the mancannon used for the lift in the blue area is working perfect.
- the jump from the plasma pistol spawn to the sniper tower works.
- the side walls of the lift for the magnums are identical.
- the shotgun area is green-ish and its the same length.
- this map looks great and well made.


Now the bad things in this map. I shall say them before you guys lol.
- jumping on the arena because of the walls as floors (I had no other option) can be annoying if you are running away from an enemy etc.
- the scale of the arena is smaller and the 'above the lift' area is bigger than the orignal.
- the surroundings and buildings can be frustrating.
- the stairs to the br tower are more jumpy jumpy than walk paths.
- the long path from the lift area to the sniper tower looks kinda cheep.
- people always find glitches and more camping spots and ways getting out of the level with
no-lifing so there are many more ways than I already know to do these things on this map.
- this map is wortheless if you don't start with a SMG.

So, here you have it. My view. About that last bad thing. I made a team slayer game that's called 'Halo2' and its on my fileshare. Download that for the ultimate Lockout feeling. Overall... I gave this map 4/5. But thats just my opinion.
Here are some screenshots:
Overview-ish
Blue Lift Area
Below The Arena
Lift path to Sniper Tower
Sword Area
Green Shotty Area
The Arena
Sniper Tower
BR Tower
Total screenshots 30, because I wanted every screenshot fit in the recent halo 3 screenshots section and it only holds 30 most recent so yeah... thats why 30 screens. These were view screens. Other are action screens so check them all out while you're looking.

Download this and give it a try in costum games with some friends. Its fun if you ignore a few things. LATER! and comment plz...

So i was thinking about how they added scaffolding to ghost towns forge items, but arent Spartans like 1000 pounds or so? Wouldnt they just break the scaffolding and fall through.?
lol

I wonder if they are going to put in a new type of grav-lift.....like a super lift that shoots you as high as you can go, wich would be awsome, or even (just to be funny) a big ferris wheel!! :)

Man, I gotta say, the stuff that you do for these content patches is phenominal. I know you're already aware of this, but I figured I'd reinforce the notion - you guys are the best. Seriously.
