    Hmmmmm. It is very true to Lockout and I have thought that ever since I fist downloaded it. But why you would remake a map that has already been remade? That is beyond me.

    Blackout is much less cramped and I find it much more enjoyable: not saying this map is bad. I just didn't enjoy it. To be honest I hate the low ceiling on bottom mid (although I realize you made that on purpose to resemble Lockout). Plus Blackout and Blockout are the same map and the only difference is senery. And I am sure anyone would like to play a map with an interesting theme rather than Sandbox's stone pieces that became uninteresting a week after Mythic was released.

    For me, the only issue with blackout was the lack of an open window in the library. Although this is a great rendition of lockout, I do not need it clogging up my hard drive when bungie already made a semi awesome version of lockout.

    The winners were already posted a while ago...

    wait, it's a better remake than the official remake? so basically we have finally outshone bungie in map making. thats pretty awsome and congratz on the feature mick.
    nice name btw, it's catchy, sort of a mx between blackout and lockout.

    Hm, I saw this one before, it looked like a great remake although never got to downloading it. I was a bit biased about the gameplay and how well it would replicate blackout, but I guess I'll find out. Queued.

    that's very nicely forged. I'm not so great with scaling, but it seems like its smaller than lockout at some parts like the top where everyone camps, and then normal size at the lift. are you sure its to scale, or is this a rough guess? other than that minor setback, it's amazing, and I really like how you put all the 'pro' jumps in it. Like I said, it's amazing, and the map is really easy on my eyes. Nice job on the feature, too. still an 8/10, because, as halo kid said, there is an official remake already. One last thing I noticed. On top of the lift room, are a bunch of obelisks to block people from jumping behind there. Is it possible to get up by grenade jumping off of a teammates head?

    every single jump that a skilled halo 2 player knows. There is, yet again, 4 enterences to the sniper tower. When bungie took them off in blackout, i was crushed. Now watching this video, i get taken back. And, with more than just a hint of nestalga, i can enjoy lockout again.

    *facepalm*

    This is definitely the best Lockout remake by a community forger. I couldn't have chose a better map. Congratulations to MickRaider on a well deserved feature.

    Hey MickRaider. Everyone seems to love this map and I don't blame them. Congrats on the feature, both FH and FX. Good job.

    The nearly 10k people who have downloaded it and are enjoying it. What's the point of making a map at all?

    Frankly even if no one had downloaded it and me and my friends were the only ones that liked it I still would have built it.


    Vvvvv lockout was excluded from the contest. Even then this map is budget glitched so it broke another rule trying to go for accuracy

    Man about time this would get featured. I played on this a bunch with my friends and we had a (nostalgic) blast.

    Damn what an impressive map! I am downloading this and will probably put this in my fileshare! I always complained about blackout because the jumps were drastically changed and you couldn't mimic them. Now you made a fantastic remake props to you man! This is GREAT!

    I don't mean to be rude but this map seems redundant to me, it might have been good 1 map pack ago but now I don't really see the point. I have to give it to the Author though, the map does look clean and Etc. but i think Bungie beat him to the point.

    The point is that tis feels ALOT more like Lockout then Blackout does. You can actually use library window, shoot peoples heads in the middle without those huge guardrails bloking them and you can do many jumps which are no possible on Blackout. Most of these jumps made Lockout, Lockout!

    This is why it was remade, many were unhappy with Blackout because it deviates from Lockouts awesome design so much. Because of this map being made they can judge how Halo 3 plays with the original Lockout, not one made for the 'less intelligent' population known as Blackout.
