wait where do we see the video? also nice job dude. Im happy you posted the map, and it looks great. only touchs ups for now huh? =)
Hey Blockout made it to the front page of Bungie's most downloaded Sandbox maps, congrats! You still haven't passed up my Locked Out map though! Yaha!
For now I got 2000 downloads in a week and another 1000 in 2 days And if you count to 400+ that people downloaded from An old friend I already got you beat I'm glad everyone is enjoying it, well worth it even if people are trying to rip off my work... My video: Blockout Walkthrough Video - Halo 3 Game - MLG Game Room Here's the knockoff video: An old friend Video - Halo 3 Game - MLG Game Room
Hey thanks for putting the vid link up there, i was looking all over for that! (EDIT: the links take foreverrrr to load..) Oh we're counting scattered download numbers too are we? Well in that case, don't forget to add my 1200 dl's from my v1! So what am i up to now?... about 4600! so ha! and we'll throw in an extra 500 dl's just for fun.. Beat that! Haha but anywaffles, you need to organize a couple play dates on this right away. I still haven't played any competitive matches on this map with the creator!
Looks like something is being weird with gameroom... Well we'll see who has the last laugh, We need to work together on a map and get something really awesome going instead of competing with each other I wish I could, I got a PHD qualifier exam on the 19th and 21st so until then my schedule is packed. I still need to get the updates done on blockout and get started on my next work, but that won't happen for at least another 3 weeks. I'm also working on making a "Jumps" video for blockout for the nay-sayers, I've found out that open ramp to BR3 is in fact possible, albeit very challenging, but hey it's a pro jump so why make it easy I'll update the OP with the videos.
New Video, much better than the first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPGJDLvTF9w or here: Blockout Video - Halo 3 Game - MLG Game Room
lol why would you make a remake of a map that's already on halo 3? I just think the point of remakes are to play maps you aren't able to play any more so I dunno, just seems kinda silly to make a map that we can already play... The forging looks spot on though, really well made. The first glance at the bottom lift photo made me think it actually was blackout and it took me a minute to figure out that it was a sandbox level. I just would have liked to have seen the effort in forging this level being put to use on something new or at least a remake of a halo 1-2 map that we don't have on halo 3.
This is exactly how I feel. 5/5 remake, if it had come before blackout it would have been a dl for me for sure, but I find blackout to play nearly identicle to lockout, just doesn't have the same awesome feel of lockout. I would be interested if you made kind of a map that was maybe a combination of lockout and ascension, with your own touch of genius...well, im just rambling now but it would be a good idea, let me know on your next map, im very interested.
This is really good this was my favorite sniping map on halo 2. There is very good interlocking on this. This is one of the best replicas I have seen. I like how you add the same weapons and the fusion coils in the same spot. 5/5
Dude, awesome recreation of Lockout. I like the name too (I used it for an early Forge on Guardian with Bubble Shields and Deployable Covers). This is way cooler though. And by the way, this is actually a better remake of Lockout than Blackout was... by far. I love that you included many of the shortcuts. That was my favorite part about Lockout... and Bungie failed on an epic scale by trying to recreate Lockout as Blackout without those shortcuts. The only criticism I can offer is on the Sniper Tower. The giant wall piece that you used as a railing on Snipe 3 just doesn't look quite right; it seems to play fine however. On the flip side of the coin, I love that you included the Elbow shortcut and the Glass shortcut... the only criticism I have with these two shortcuts is that they can only be performed to the right. I always went left on the Glass shortcut and although I tended to go right on the Elbow shortcut because it still left me the option to go jump over to Snipe 1 instead, I would sometimes go left so as to switch it up on enemies camping the sniper tower that were watching their radar. (The only other short cut missing is the B Ramp shortcut up to BR 3, but that was a bugger of a shortcut to perform, rarely used, and probably not missed) Other than those 3 criticisms, I have to say that you are amazing. You seriously did better than Bungie in recreating Lockout.
If you watch the video you see that all the jumps you talked about are there (except left S1 from glass, but at least there's 1 way :\ plus you can jump from s1 to top mid to s2) Br ramp to br3 is at 4:20 New Video, much better than the first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPGJDLvTF9wor here: Blockout Video - Halo 3 Game - MLG Game Room
At first I was like, wow, why would you remake this, there is no point. Now that I actually played on this, is was really quite fun and im glad you did it. It seemed as close as one could come to remaking lockout, (except for Bungie). My only problem ( not a big one ) is that the long hallway in the bottom from tower to tower doesnt have the full view straight across like the original Lockout, which may be good actually. I just loved staying in the room by the sword spawn in SWAT and shooting peoples heads off whenever they went under the Sniper tower. Those were the good ol days. Anyways, this is a great map, good job bra.
Have you submitted this for ATLAS? I wonder if Shishka would accept it since it's Lockout/Blackout remakes, and they (Bungie) already tried that route. Would they add yet another? I doubt it, even though this map is ahead of Blackout in terms of jump distance, weapon alignment, etc. -- I really like it!
Dude, I am AMAZED by this map. This really does look like it took an extreme amount of time. You did a perfect job with the lower rooms such as bottom lift. They look amazing. I really think this will play much better than blackout. Hopefully some of the original things from lockout are incorporated. I will def download this map and will get back to you. Great Job.
The line of sights *should* be identical MLG Forums - View Single Post - Blockout However there was one complain about having a look from S1 to sword. I need to go back and check that out in lockout, but that's a quick fix. Can't submit to atlas because the map is budget glitched. I'm glad you enjoy it but even if it was under budget I still think bungie would ignore it Thanks for the DL's guys, and the Hidden Gems section!
Ridiculous attention to detail. Amazing map man. I can only imagine that this was painstaking in recreating the accuracy. Master work dude. Must have taken forever. ManRayX SIETCHHAIL MARYSHADOW-ASSAULT
wow this is awsome, I love how u compared your map to the real lockout it really shows the similarities between the two great remake 5/5
I'm glad everyone is still enjoying it so much with all the publicity my map has already broken 5000 downloads Thanks for playing! Work on version 2 has begun, eta "When it's ready"
This is even better than blackout. I have actually been waiting for someone to make a remake this good. will probably use this over Blackout. Everything is just so smooth, nice job balancing it out. 5/5
I forgot I had qeued(sp) for download. But I finally got to play on it the other day. Great job. This one is SO much better than Blackout. PLays just like the orignal one. 100/10, LOL.
