Although the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} was [[Battle of Installation 05|destroyed]] during [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]’s [[Flood]] outbreak, the [[Stalwart-class light frigate|frigate's]] data nodes had already transmitted extensive details of various sites on the ring's surface to the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. One of these – a derelict structure fixed to the ledge of a distant mountain - was the source of considerable scientific debate after his return. Subsequent analysis indicates it may have been a Forerunner [[Flood research facility|research site]] used to research the parasite, but the findings remain inconclusive. | Although the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} was [[Battle of Installation 05|destroyed]] during [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]’s [[Flood]] outbreak, the [[Stalwart-class light frigate|frigate's]] data nodes had already transmitted extensive details of various sites on the ring's surface to the [[John-117|Master Chief]].

**Lockout was designed in 3D and never had any 2D paper layout sketches (with the exception of some layout work done for ''Combat Evolved''), unlike other maps in ''Halo 2''. The map was designed by [[Chris Carney]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/MaxHoberman/status/1072497011046400000 Max Hoberman on Twitter]</ref> | **Lockout was designed in 3D and never had any 2D paper layout sketches (with the exception of some layout work done for ''Combat Evolved''), unlike other maps in ''Halo 2''.

*The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] is similar to Lockout in terms of design because they both share the 'green Shotgun hallway', two main central levels of the map and four bases branching off of the main section. They also both have a main large gravity lift. These similarities have been confirmed by [[Bungie]] to be purposely put in the game. | *The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] is similar to Lockout in terms of design because they both share the 'green Shotgun hallway', two main central levels of the map and four bases branching off of the main section.

*Lockout was originally planned to be featured as a map variant on ''[[Halo: Reach]]''<nowiki />'s [[Forge World]] and to be near the waterfalls. However, the map was never finalized and was eventually removed from the final game.<ref name="reach">[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1097235 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''So, the 'official' Lockout remake DID exist.'']</ref> | *Lockout was originally planned to be featured as a map variant on ''[[Halo: Reach]]''<nowiki />'s [[Forge World]] and to be near the waterfalls.
