Sandbox Blockout

Dude nice remake! I love how you actually took the time and made it look like lockout/blackout. And excellent interlocks. you don't see many maps like this anymore. 5/5

I would try and make the weapon placement the same as lockout/blackout though and very original name

 

Nobody should comment on the gameplay on this map, afterall it has the exact same layout and predicting the exact same layout. I don't have sandbox, so I am unable to rate your map. I do have to say that your forging is up to its standards. Such as: Interlocking, Geomerging, you get the point.. All parts of the remake seem to match the original map very well, almost perfect. This map is very nice man, I really love remakes, the layout is always perfect and the gameplay is always great. Some people don't relize that Bungie actually does make very good maps with good gameplay.

 

wow, fantastic remake of lockout. even though blackout's good, this looks way nicer. Everything looks exactly like the original, and everything in there place. I will test this map and see how well it plays, probably very well. I'm not sure what your lift looks like, i hope its good. and the hole in the center isn't there, even though it liike fine without it. Maybe post more pics of ALL areas and put a description and weapon list cuz i dont have halo 2 so i dont know the weapons. But anyway this looks like the best lockout remake in Halo 3. Very nice job. 5/5 d/l'ing to test and will post back my review. Till then, keep forgin.

OMG uberthankz to you i bow before you this remake is that good. I'v been procrastinating doing it myself but thank the stars you have done it and it looks amazing, i'm dl'ing and this will be the most played map i have i can assure you that. The grav tower is so exact its not even funny, your overview pic threw me off but then after the rest i can assuadly say that this is the best map remake iv seen to date. Only thing i noticed was br tower (maybe it was just the pic) seemed a little small. but hey 1 thing out of a whole map who cares right great job again man 5/5 4 sure.

 

Dude this is the best lockout remake I've ever seen.

Everything is like exactly the same (sniper tower looks a little choppy though, jus saying). You acurately made it to be like lockout while still keeping some originality. Definetely a DL from me.

P.S. Think about putting it into the Forgotten Treasures contest

 

You cannot remake Lockout, for the contest sadly

 

He can't, as Lockout/Blackout Remakes are disqualifiers... because we already have Blackout, which is the reason I won't DL this... don't get me wrong! This map looks amazingly forged! The time you put into those interlocks look fantastic, and the overall forging ability is amazing, but I've seen it... and I don't need another Blackout....

 

The fact is that blackout dont play as lockout is that H3 is different from H2.
I dont think your map will be as good as Lockout. But I'll download to check it out, its incredibly well forged.
With your forge skills you could perhaps remake other map, like boarding action or derelict.
Would be great.

 

Hey you finally posted it! As some of you may know, I also forged a lockout remake, but I ran out of items before I could finish the BR tower and elbow.

In the early stages of this map, Mickraider invited me to check it out and offer advice. He told me that he was using my guide as a reference. Brilliant idea, learning from my mistakes to create an even better remake of Lockout. But of course, most of this was Mickraider's genius alone. I've played the final version, and i loved it. Almost every jump is perfect and the entire map is built to scale. He even used spawn points from the orignial lockout map. And he even added his own touches here and there (the ceiling of library and sniper tower etc.)

A wonderful remake all in all. I agree with everyone else, the best lockout remake so far! This will stay on my drive for quite a long time i assure you. Once again, great map Mickraider!

 

blackout is the worst piece of trash to call itself a remake in a long time.

thanks for finally remaking lockout properly.

 

I'm not going to release or claim it is mine but I slightly changed this. I didn't like the red lights because Lockout is always blue in my mind. So, I went into Forge and took them out. I hope you don't mind. I'd love to keep the map but I'd tell people you made it.

 

****!! this map is sweet, glad someone remade it, despite blackout. the bottom of the Lift looks besTT !! uber win

 

No way is this wasted time, I'm so glad you made this. Only those who played alot on H2 will understand that somehow blackout just doesn't feel the same. Thanx man, now all we need is ascension and burial mounds. IMO why make a remake if it is 95% the same, it needs to be to scale and exact.

 

Thank you so much. I started making this, and instantly ditched it because I knew someone somewhere would make a way better remake. When I get home, I'll test it out, but this looks amazing, better than Blackout. Thank you once again.

 

this remake looks absolutely amazing. i remember seeing a lot of other remakes that were unable to include all the sections of the original map, and it's great to see that someone did a little better planning this time around. since i cannot download the map yet:
did you find a way to include all the tactical jumps?
when i heard about the skybubble, i immediately began to imagine how people would try and rebuild a replica of lockout. however, i was worried that people would forget the importance of the map's numerous and game-changing tactical jumps. the jumps i'm talking about are like "elbow-to-s2," "openramp-to-br3," etc. these jumps utilized the tops of the doorframes in the original halo 2, and they have not been included in any remake to date. i understand that these jumps were not universally known, and that they were not intentional, but at the competitive end of the spectrum, they are what made lockout lockout.

if there is anyway at all to include these jumps, it would push your remake to new levels of amazing. in case you weren't familiar with the jumps, i'll add a list of the most common ones:
"elbow-to-snipe2"
"elbow-to-back snipe ramp"
"underglass-to-s2"
"underglass-to-topmid"
"openramp-to-br3"

i would use each of these jumps multiple times per game when i used to play lockout in halo 2, and [in my opinion] any remake that does not include them just doesn't capture what lockout truly was.

i hope you can find some way to include these jumps into your map, because it really does look fantastic. i'm just afraid nothing will ever play the same as lockout.

 

Blockout has got to be the most accurate remake I have ever laid my eyes on! Everything seems so well placed and carefully planned.

I really like what you did with the sniper tower and the building with several fins on the roof. They made the map a lot better than it already is in aesthetic terms. The game play is obviously unexplainable because it is a remake of a default Halo 2 map which has been played by most or even all.

Great remake.

 

Hey looks really good. I'll DL. but i was wondering if you could still do the jumps from s1-s2

 

Phenominal! This is the best forged remake I have ever seen! Have you submitted this to the FH remake contest? I think it could win. Very accurate, and I can't wait to actually play some real games on it.
