    Nice. I'm impressed with your jump from BR Ramp to BR 3. I see how you did the Elbow Shortcut on the left side, but you kind of had to jump towards the middle around that block that juts out just a little bit, where as it was just a straight, thoughtless jump in Halo 2. A small complaint really.

    I can't wait wait for the v2 you mentioned; it'll be so beasty. The left side glass jump is perfectly set up. I literally walked out of the room and hit the wall the exact same way I always did in Halo 2... all I need is a ledge to stand on to make it happen. Ah nostalgia... thanks for that.

    This map flat out RAPES Blackout, thanks for understanding what the word "Remake" means.

    Wow, incredible. Nice job...

    Only nitpicky complaint - the BR base seems a bit short to me.

    Wow this is easily the best lockout remake i have ever seen, i played this with a bunch of friends, and we had a blast playing team slayer and snipers. Very neat, and very well forged, i love it, and i love lockout. 9.5/10, great job keep it up! =)

    Thanks for the support guys :) Blockout broke 7500 downloads this morning and your support is really helping it grow. Keep up the good work.
    I tried making it as accurate as possible but I suppose BR3 could be 1 wall width higher than it currently is. It's supposed to be roughly 2 wall widths higher than snipe 3 and right now it's only 1 wall width, I'll look into it.

    Great remake. It looks like you took your time and put as many details as you could. It seems a little crunched and I think you could of spread it out more. Other than tht nice remake.

    I don't see why you'd want to remake it, Blackout is really the same thing--hardly different. But in terms of everything else, it's pretty great. 9.5/10

    ok no offense man but do we really need a lockout remake? bungie already made it and its in the legendary map pack if you dont know. Yeah its freaken incredible as a remake but seriously do we really need a remake of Lockout? put your remaking skills to work on a different map that bungie hasnt alrealy remade, i bet if you did that it would be incredible.

    lol

    Put this in ATLAS and try to get it into Matchmaking. I doubt it, though, since it would basically pimp-slap Blackout into obscurity. Sincerely don't think Shishka would allow that, but it's worth a chance. It's a great map.

    I think FH is waiting to feature this. I bet they'll announce the winners of the forgotten treasure contest and then feature this map like a week after. Anyone wanna bet on that?

    Overall good job. Definitely one of the better remakes I've seen if not the best. Could even be in the aesthetic maps area. I'd give it a dl if Blackout wasn't already out. Keep up the good work.

    I think Blackout deserves to be in the "Aesthetic" maps more than Blockout does :p

    Sorry to double post but I'm looking for suggestions on things the community wants improved for version 2. I already have a pretty good list of things to do but I'm open to ideas. No idea will be ignored, but some might not be possible due to the item limit.

    - Rework top mid to be perfectly smooth
    - rework top lift to be perfectly smooth
    - Replace all wooden floor pieces with double walls
    - Smooth transition off sniper perch, and lower it by 1 wall width
    - Replace ramps on snipe 1 to snipe 2 with double block
    - Replace wooden railings with rock (pieces permitting)
    - Smooth various transitions throughout the map.
    - Fix various grenade hole cracks (Bottom lift room, shotgun tunnel, etc)
    - Open line of sight from snipe 1 to sword
    - Clean up top of snipe tower
    - Rework spawns so they're better suited for halo 3 instead of direct copies from halo 2

    Those are perfect improvements and I can only think of one other at the moment. You should consider removing the red lighting effect and fin piece from the top of sniper tower. Lockout was blue and it doesn't do too much at the moment anyway. Plus it would save you a few items. I think i've mentioned that before but its not on the list so I thought i'd remind ya...

    This map is realy awesome, its a verry neat remake. I acctually like it more than Blackout, it just has something that blackout doesn't, I think its the sandbox style.

    Great job, man. =D

    That would be good, most other improvements though are lines of sight cause I know a lot of them could use some improvement.

    D: I have yet to see this map! It's fantastic.

    I don't think I can download it, though, because I'm too busy admiring its screenshots.
