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]].

*If playing CTF, a [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] jump will carry a player from the base at the top of the battle rifle tower to the Elbow; unless the player has uncommonly good aim with such jumps, the only way to avoid dying is to lunge at a player on the catwalk with an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]]. | *If playing CTF, a [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] jump will carry a player from the base at the top of the battle rifle tower to the Elbow; unless the player has uncommonly good aim with such jumps, the only way to avoid dying is to lunge at a player on the catwalk with an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]]. | ||

*In the bottom floor, underneath the center panel of the top level, you can hide in the corners and remain stationary, and surprise and kill anyone whom walks in with a [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]]. This can be countered by clearing the room with a grenade before entering it; if anyone survives the blast, you will hear static from the player's shield. | *In the bottom floor, underneath the center panel of the top level, you can hide in the corners and remain stationary, and surprise and kill anyone whom walks in with a [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]].

*In Sniper matches, it is common practice to stand at the far end of the course, on the lower level, and snipe people across the level. Since the hall is continuous, there isn't much chance to react to a good sniper. This has given this hallway the nickname 'Sniper Alley'. | *In Sniper matches, it is common practice to stand at the far end of the course, on the lower level, and snipe people across the level.

**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.
