Blockout

[IPokeNinjas]

This looks like it easily deserves a feature and in my eyes, its got to be one of the best maps on the site IMO, Thanks for the time machine :)

It was easy to tell if Blockout with be in the front page or not. This map is simply the most accurate Lockout remake out there.

Congrats on the feature!

I find it incredibly dumb that someone would make a remake of a remake.....
Blackout is fine, the only thing that it doesnt have is a window in the middle and a snow theme.... Other than that, the two maps are identical.... I dont understand why it isnt good enough for most people....

Whatever, Blockout is very fun and well forged even if the reason for its existence is completely pointless.

this is a great remake, it definitley deserves the feature

Congratulations to Mickraider on getting Blockout featured. Both Lockout and Blackout play very differently. Keep the discussion light and try not to get out of hand guys.

This map is alot better than Blockout. Hands down best remake I've ever played. Great job Mick

I love this map
Although it has the really annoying disco affect at times but it is great

[Awkward Silence]

I really liked the actual construction and forging in this map, but for me, it lagged like a bitch when I had more than 6 people in the party. I got that glitch where everything keeps flashing lighter colors. That's a result of the Budget Glitch, right?

I seriously don't know why this was featured. It's a stolen map basically. The only thing good for it would be the fact that you can get on top of the bases.

There are many who would disagree with you, people who disliked the subtle changes made from Lockout to Blackout quite a lot.

Remaking Lockout, which was made in an entirely free form design environment, within the massive constraints of Forge shows talent and a good mind for the system. But it also takes a highly design conscious approach to achieve as close a possible replication of the original Lockout with limited materials, considering how much the small changes in Blackout were nitpicked by some, refining the LOS to replicate the original as closely as possible is something worth celebrating. Also: 'stolen'? Honestly? If you take exception to remakes then whatever, but the malicious connotations of theft within the context of FH is a harsh thing to put upon this map, and quite frankly makes no sense.

Also, it plays very well, thus it is a good map in my eyes, I can see exactly why it was featured.
