Yeah i thought the same think when i read that Bungie post. I guess it probably will be coming to Halo 3. I always kind of thought it would to be honest. They did make a good map and it seems a shame to not make the most of it.
However, i also think that Lockout isn't the best map i've ever played. I'd prefer to hear that either; Chill Out, Damnation or Hang'em High were coming to Halo 3. They were the real classics and the ones i most enjoyed and played tonnes of at LAN parties.
I think they did a good job bringing Blood Gulch, Battle Creek, Wizard and Longest to Halo 2, but i would have much preferred any of the other three i mentioned. Also, i think they changed both Blood Gulch and Longest for much the worse when they put them in Halo 2.
I just hope they keep Lockout with exactly the same layout as it is now - just change a few textures and lighting effects maybe to give it a refreshingly different feel.
I'd prefer to see Chill Out or Damnation over Lockout any day but Lockout is a great map and if it works well with Halo 3's gameplay, i'm happy.
My dream map selection for Halo 3 would include:
Chill Out, Damnation, Hang'em High, Lockout, Midship, Zanzibar and the original Blood Gulch.
Oh and if i had to choose between Halo 3 at all or The World Cup, i'd chose Halo 3 too. But if i had to chose between a completed Halo 3 now instead of next year, and The World Cup, i'd chose the The World Cup. England have a real chance this time i think. It will be very tough for anyone to beat Brazil though. Did you know that USA are ranked like 5th in the world at soccer/football by FIFA and yet have betting odds to win of 80/1? Not a bad bet.
