Hi what's up guys. It's been a while since I've visited Forgehub, is Draw the Line and rustyeagle still here? Anyhow. I'm sure plenty of good Lockout remakes have been made so this is like spitting into an ocean. I made this mainly for practicing Forge so I don't mind if you all think it's terrible.

The map is very "cosy" like Halo 2, which I think lends towards the fast paced gameplay I loved when playing modes like MLG Ball. I tested this map with Draw the Line and some others and it seems to have a very nostalgic, fast-paced flow to it. Everyone I asked said it was very fun including a Halo cynical friend of mine.

I've made a couple of changes to the map in order to ensure certain jumps are possible, a few things that make it flow well in Reach, and also a few personal touches that can be changed if you want to quickly forge them back. For instance, there's a window now at lower Sniper Tower with a Needle Rifle, not a Plasma Rifle, so you can snipe down to the Sword walkway. This is an idea I got off a friend who knows his Halo. The window is there to tie the map up and make Sniper/BR stalemates less game-breaking.

There are a few weapon changes, for example a DMR in place of the SMG, a Needle Rifle in place of the lower Needler (so you can shoot down bottom middle), and a few Health packs scattered around in places design to lure map-control teams out of the BR tower. The fusion cores are also removed because they're always blown up within the first 30 seconds anyhow (they mainly get in the way more than anything) but you're more than welcome to put them back in if you wish.

Anyhow, I think there have been some really nice looking Lockout maps, but I felt I would post this anyhow due to its gameplay. It's a very fast-paced, smaller type of map. If you wish to see an example of gameplay, also check out my 3v3 Slayer playtest to get a sense of how the map flows.
