Legendary Map: Blackout
Posted by lukems at 3/25/2008 10:42 AM PDT

Last week we revealed the second map from the Legendary Map pack (due April 15th), Avalanche. That map is a reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved map Sidewinder. This week, we're showing the final map from the Legendary Map Pack, Blackout. As its name suggests, Blackout is a remake of the Halo 2 classic Lockout, a cold series of interconnected platforms and walkways. Where Avalanche was retuned, reworked and massaged into something both familiar and unfamiliar, Blackout is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.

Producer Allen Murray, Designer Dan Miller and artists Paul Russel and Blake Low answered a handful of questions about Blackout. But who are we kidding, you just want to see the screenshots anyway (keep checking the Gallery as the hi-res versions will be there shortly).

What did each of you do on Blackout?

Allen Murray: I am the Producer for all of the Halo 3 DLC, which means I helped plan which maps were going to be made, when we

Plus, they are free now, I can't comprehend all of spam going on Bungie.net forums about the maps not being free and the maps now becoming free.

A true lockout remake. Lockout fans everywhere just blew there wad. xD

EDIT: Wait. Did anyone else notice they dont show the sword area?! Is it still there!?

EDIT 2: Wait, after very close examination of the long view pic i believe i can see it over there however that may not be it.

Imagine people camping in these two places with a shotgun. This was def a turn off for me:

Fuck this shitty fucking map. I hate you.

Edit: Yamagushi, I highly doubt you will be able to get up there. There's tons of shit like that in H3 maps, but you can't get up into them unless you glitch.

They might have placed a bubble shield there.
