I honestly didn't expect to see Blackout

    I'm of coarse thrilled that a true Lockout remake is coming out.
    But because of Guardian, the announcement of Blackout really took me off guard.
    Since they'd already made a remake of Lockout, Guardian (which I despise), I didn't think that Bungie would redo it.

    Yay.

    Mark it on your calendar: April 15th - Halo 3 gets that much better (for people who download the Legendary Map Pack on that day, for everyone else Halo 3 gets that much better the day you download it)

    What can I say, Bungie listens to their fans! Really, they thought Gaurdian worked, but we disagreed, and look what we get. :D

    guardian is one of my favorite maps since its a 'small' map, (the only on in halo 3 practically) and they said a long time ago they would not b remaking it again, but i guess they lied

    I don't hate Guardian but it will be nice to play on Lockout(as Blackout) again. :squirrel_rocking:

    That's what makes them awesome, they listen to their audience and deliver what's being demanded.

    it seems eary, about 2 or 3 days before blackout was announced, bungie said they were coming out with a map called 'moonlight senota'

    but either way blckout was obviously the best decision

    I don't like the fact that the map pack has two remakes in it. They could've put one in the Heroic map pack?

    Imma use a fire extinguisher now! (That was a flame! Shhhtop it!)

    And I am glad this is coming, I just wish it was still the forerunner structure. Fantastic for machinima, though.

    If the community gets what they want after complaining, I will complain for double shot/quad shot and at the very least bxr and bxb to be back.

    That's bad parenting on Bungies part. Rewarding the kids who complain to much.

    Blackout looks and sounds amazing, if it wasn't going to be released on a weekday, I'd probably stay up and buy it the moment it is released.

    No, Guardian was never intended to replace Lockout. THat is what was thought originally, but bungie said they had always known they would release a true remake of Lockout, they just wanted to get some experience with Halo 3 under their belts. Plus, could anyone honestly expect that they wouldn't remake the most popular Halo 2 multiplayer map?

    Thats true but Bungie aren't parents, they're a company.
    What, if people say "we want blueberry coke" and coke shut down as a response, is that what you would define as good parenting?
    To be successful you must go with the fans wishes not against them.

    Do Not Want!! I didn't want lockout to be remade, but at least it has a new skin(I hated the old skin, look a blue wall, oh and there is also beige, that makes a total of two colours in the main part of the level YAY!!). I would much rather damnation or prisoner be remade.

    Lockout, although if you dont think it was the prettiest of maps, was like the most popular and demanded map.
    It wasn't my favourite map either, in fact I wasn't a big fan of lockout but most of the halo audience loved it.
    Personally I'd like to see either Hang em High or Foundation come back. But Blackout is coming and I'm satisfied

    Yea I know it was loved, but there were more things they could have done. I will however be satisfied if a hornet is forgeable, it is a helipad.

    Well i know Guardian was intended to be Lockouts sucessor, but alot of people (including me) thought it really didnt live up to the hype. And there is no harm in having two.

    It looks really cool like, wasnt expecting that kind of location, it looks a little boring if you ask me, i missed the snow. But well see. Might be some whales or polar bears or something.
