So… before the flood of Lockout re-make maps gets out of control, I really wanted to share this creation with you guys. I started this map just a few short days after the launch of the game, I had alot of my friends begging me to attempt to resurrect this age old classic.
I’ve seen a few people are already releasing their versions of the map, and this has inspired me to finish mine in a timely fashion. In the making of my map I focused more on the cosmetic aspect of it, rather than taking the time and effort to make sure that every jump and corner matched the original perfectly. After all, this isn’t Halo 2… It’s a whole new sandbox, and I felt that the map needed to be refined and somewhat updated to retain its playability. The map has a really nice flow to it, and still has a nostalgic feel to it as well. I decided to use Impact as the base-map, because this map offered a much cleaner environment and optimal lighting to make the map appear much more like its original counterpart.
I have been testing the map thoroughly with many friends and making small tweeks here and there so that the map plays well for all gametypes. So at this point, I feel its time to let this bird fly and be free. The map is good for Slayer, CTF, Oddball and KOTH. I’ve noticed that FFA can be quite chaotic considering the smaller scale of the map, but who doesn’t like a little chaos now and again…
I’ve added to my file share a few pics of various sections of the map, if you like what you see, the map is in my file share as well… Enjoy!
