I honestly didn't expect to see Blackout

    I'm glad they are remaking Lockout, but I would much prefer a remake of Chill Out or Prisoner.

    When I got Xbox Live I was always a big fan of Call of Duty 3 (I could get 30+ kills each game with the bazooka and pistol) and never really touched Halo 2 (bad choice, but I joined at a bad time, way too many glitchers) so I can't say I really want Lockout. I like forging and I would have preferred a new environment for Foundry since they would make maps that much better.

    Who wanted a warehouse style anyways?

    Did anyone see the Weekly update with the screenshot of the weapons? I liked the set up for the most part, but they only had 2 BR's on map. I know they had at least 3 or 4 on lockout. Hopefully, it will run Team BR's most of the time. Team BR's Blackout would be awesome.

    I saw this from the beginning. Lockout being in a map pack. They said it would be a chilly, isolated structure. Sure it was in H2, and soon to be in H3, it still is going to be chilly and isolated. A oil rig (i think) in the middle of a cold, arctic ocean. Yea, it fits the descripition of what they gave before they released it.

    On a different note, the shotgun hallway isn't green anymore :(.

    They couldn't show multiple levels so I bet they have the same amount.

    If you check the Weekly Update, they show all the different levels by color coding the guns. So, you know what level the weapon is on, and it only showed 2. I think they should have put one in library and another one by snipe base or elbow.

    I could have sworn there was a BR in library. I always remember playing Lockout with a BR at hand at all times, but I guess I was just playing BR start (MLG). I remember having lots of BR duals in matchmaking, but I bet it will work fine. I am so pumped for this map.

    In H2 Lockout, Library had no BR's. There was a ramp with Oddball doorway leading to BR3, to a BR. But in the actual Library there was only a plasma rifle (which in Halo 2 was seriously underestimated) and a magnum along with two plasma grenades.

    I guess that there wasn't one in there, but two BR's just doesn't seem right.

    Two BR's was correct. One on top lift, one on BR3, and thats it.

    i remember that back in the days of halo 2 matchmaking, if my team was getting owned, it was because the entire other team dominated the four BRs and spawn killed us... same with warlock. lol

    That's what he said; the other team would spawn kill them with all four BR's on both maps.

    I really do remember playing normal team slayer (SMG start) in matchmaking in lockout, and always having a BR in hand like construct since there were so many of them. I remember BR top lift and BR3, but I remember another BR in library spawning by stickies. I think the reason that I am getting confused is because in normal slayer a magnum spawned there, but in MLG a BR spawns there.

    I love how they kept the weapons the exact same with the addition of a bubble shield and power drain. Another good thing is that they took out the needler and replaced it with a spiker BR2 and a spiker BR1.
