Sweet, Lockout was my favourite Halo 2 map.

Not crazy about the textures, mainly the snow blotch effect that just looks kind of weird.

This map looks so awesome! Very excited for the new map pack. Lockout was on my favorites in 2. The Heroic pack was good, but this will be a major step up.

I, for one, welcome our new Blackout overlords.

Looks pretty nice. Very nice. Lockout was a great map. I just wish that Microsoft would lighten up on the pricing... though I'll still buy it anyways.

I really, really hope that for future Halo games (there WILL be future games) that they do something that is essentially randomly decided variations on the same maps. An example: Before the game starts it randomly chooses between High Ground night or day, stormy or clear. It would really add re-playability to the maps and wouldn't necessarily take up that much more space/power. Also, for the night maps, it would be pretty sweet if one could shoot out lights. They wouldn't have to remain shot out, but they could blink back in to existence after a reasonable amount of time.

I hate to be the party pooper here, but doesn't anyone else have a problem paying $10 for REMAKES?! I'd expect more original maps for that scratch, not just a bunch of old maps that where played to death before.

Uh Bungie said in their last weekly update they had no plans to make the Legendary DLC free.

"When will the Legendary Map Pack be free?

We are not currently aware of any plans to release the Legendary Maps for free."

I don't own a 360 and thus I don't play Halo 3 that much, but even I could tell you that Halo 3 already has a remake of Lockout. It's called "Gaurdian"... I think. And if it isn't a remake, it's damn sure close enough for me.

I just spent the past two weeks modeling oil rigs... that image brings back monotomous memories....

I liked Halo 2's prices of $3,95 per map pack instead of $10.

Is the comment system messing up for anyone else?

So another remake? How original. The price of textures have sure gone up in recent years.

It looks like global warming finally got the best of our happy, frosty wonderland known as Lockout.

Beautiful. All we need is Midship and Ivory Tower and I think I'll be all set.

Oops! In my earlier post I forgot to bitch and moan about money.

*whine*

I apologize for the omission. Thank you.

I guess it being a remake might be considered lame but they can't always make a good map. I'd rather have a great map remade than pay for three new maps that are so-so. Halo 2 was/is the best of the bunch for online play and map design so why not take from the best? halo 3 has too many bells and whistles IMO. Too many grenade types, shields, land mines and on and on. Forge and theater are what kept the review scores equal to the first two Halos.

Am i the only one that thinks the background textures and overall feel are very much out of place (don't say no.) (don't say no. just because i told you not to say no.)?

as I never played sidewinder on halo 1, avalanche may as well be new to me. as a result, I'll now be gleefully splashing out on this pack.

I just hope the integration to the online lobby is better- the last effort was shit.

Awesome, that was one of my favorite maps in Halo 2.

Obligator "if I want to play Halo 2, I'll play Halo 2".

Am I the only one who is the most excited about the sidewinder remake? Playing that map online for the PC was so much fun for the deadlocked rocket CTF games.

Not saying that PC is better just that it had halo 1 online and that sidewinder was awesome there, also rocket games are FTW.

as long as they are doing re-makes...where is ascension?

ascension = dope

Way to go the extra mile, Bungie!
Your effort and creativity are impressive.

ITT: trolls who don't care about halo anyway

Lockout wasnt worth contributing to the hype at all! This version of lockout is more appealing and less depressing to look at.
