Mockout
(last updated 3/4/11)
==============================

Mockout, as you've probably guessed by now, is a re-make of Lockout. This is the updated version (long overdue :/). You can click on the spoiler at the end of this post to see what the old version looked like.

==============================
So, what's new?!
==============================

(3/4/11)
- Lift tower has undergone some re-modeling. It's now slightly lower, not as long and the "secret spot" at bottom lift is more like the original's.
- Door frames no longer stick out of the sides on shotgun tunnel.
(21/3/11)
- More weight on bottom-mid spawns.
- Fixed L.o.S. from S2 to bottom-mid.
- Changed columns to rail smalls. The columns just weren't providing enough cover.
- More optimizations :D
(20/3/11)
- BR tower is no longer symmetrical.
- Lift has undergone geometry changes. It's now a bit wider and looks better.
- Jump at bottom lift no longer requires you to jump on a ledge. It's now fusion coil --> door frame --> secret spot :D
- A few other geometry changes/optimizations.
(17/3/11)
Geometry has been updated, in fact, the whole map was deleted and I started over from scratch. All jumps are now possible, and I mean all. I've been watching a few trick jumping videos on Lockout and even the ones performed in the videos are possible.

==============================
Mockout features:
==============================

* All jumps! They're even performed the same way as in Halo 2!
* Accurate sight lines!
* Accurate player spawn points (killed myself over 200 times in Halo 2 get all of 'em)!
* Accurate objective placements!
* Accurate weapon placement with their respective spawn times!
* Accurate scale and geometry!
* Grav-lift that takes you up slowly!

==============================

However, you can't do the jumps without using a "classic gametype". A classic gametype is a gametype where base player traits have been changed so that players have 120% speed, 125% jump and 150% gravity. These settings are designed to make Reach feel as if you were moving about in Halo 2. They're also the movement traits for the classic playlist coming out. I've linked you to a classic slayer gametype made by FS xKratosx and his group. Just click on the custom gametype link.

I've built the map requiring these settings because scaling it down to fit Reach results in the map not feeling like Lockout. It ends up being too cramped and the jumps are obvious and impossible to fail at thanks to the "helping" blocks. It just doesn't work. So, I've built Mockout to the original's scale. As a result, Mockout requires classic settings if you want to perform the jumps.

The map's been "optimized". There's no z-fighting and no lag if you're not playing split-screen. Though, it is still possible to play split-screen, it works quite well actually. The only place screen-lag is visible during split-screen is when both players are looking across the map. Unfortunately, because of this optimization the glass at top-mid is gone. Sorry all you glass lovers!

Warning! This was one of my first maps in forge, so this older Mockout is quite 'bad'. View at your own risk.

==============================

I know how much you guys love Lockout re-makes so I've made my own :P
I had Halo 2's Lockout running whilst making this to get it as accurate as I can possibly make it. Specifically paid attention to line of sights. Killed myself one to many times in Halo 2 to get identical spawns (if I've missed some let me know) and weapon placement is the same (I've changed the SMG to an Assault Rifle and the BRs to DMRs though). I've only set it up for slayer at the moment becuase I'm lazy and if no one likes my re-make than there really isn't much point in me doing so as I only play slayer. If anyone does want me to do it though just let me know and I'll do it. Haven't really been able to test this map as non of my friends have been wanting to do customs recently -_-
Last thing, the map has been scaled down to accommodate for Reach's walk speed and jump height.
Oh, almost forgot, I ran out of money and rail pieces so I didn't actually manage to rail all the walkways (I opted to not use bridge pieces because I felt they were to wide). Sorry 'bout that >_<

Pictures of the map:

Look familiar?

Sniper tower.

Shotgun room.

Grav-lift room.

Top of grav-lift room.

Elbow.

Don't know what this place is called but as I ran out of railing pieces I've had to bring the rocks closer than in Halo 2's Lockout to make a wall for the walkways. It was that or have people accidentally walking off all the time :S

Trying to keep LoSs as accurate as I can.

Again, don't know what this place is called. I just call it "top".

Three grenades? No way!

==============================

And there you have it folks. If only one person likes this re-make then I'll be happy :]
