[Video Game News] ‘Halo 2’ Fan Favorite Map Lockout Getting Remastered for ‘Halo: The Master Chief Collection’
Xbox announced at PAX Prime that fan favorite map Lockout, from Halo 2, will be the fifth of six classic Halo 2 multiplayer maps to be remastered for the Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Many years ago, I purchased the original Xbox for the sole purpose of playing Halo 2. Halo 2 quickly became my favorite video game, and it’s multiplayer changed gaming as we knew it and is the grandfather of online multiplayer as we now know it. Halo 2′s Lockout was one of my favorite maps to play. Whether it was rumble pit, team slayer, or just messing around in a custom game of Zombies, Lockout was the go to map.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing this fan-favorite back, and are paying close attention to the details and subtleties that made the original great while also making a couple of very careful, very calculated enhancements. Most prominent among these are a bit of cover added to the ‘Elbow,’ the long walkway connecting the grav lift to the sniper tower, and a dynamic element that should help counter an entrenched group of enemies. Of course this can be disabled in Forge for players who want a near-match of the original experience.”
