*Lockout was originally named "The Cage" and was intended to be released with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. However, it didn't make the cut and instead made its debut in ''[[Halo 2]]'', albeit with some significant changes since initial development.

**Lockout was designed in 3D and never had any 2D paper layout sketches, 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>

*The hallway with the shotgun and the green pods was inspired by a section of the ''[[Marathon]]'' multiplayer map {{Plain|[http://marathon.bungie.org/spoiler/m1/27.shtml Mars Needs Women]}}.<ref name="pax"/>

*The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Guardian (level)|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.
