The "Ghost of Lockout" is a mysterious occurence in the Halo 2 level Lockout where an indestructible character will appear in the level, apparently controlled by no one, and attack players at random. The "ghost" takes the form of a Spartan model player, white in color, wielding a single Plasma Pistol.

The character primary attack is using Plasma Grenades to stick in game players, always sucessfully sticking them, and having an unlimited supply of them. Its patterns are not consistent, it will sometimes ignore players completely, and other times aggressively pursue players.

It does not "walk" like traditional players, instead simply gliding across the map. It glides up various ramps and jumps off of ledges. The "Ghost" is indestructible, and is impervious even to an assassination hit from behind.

Most interestingly, the charachter does not have a gamertag, does not appear on the score screen, and does not have an apparent controller.

History

The video (shown above) appeared on You Tube in July of 2006 by a user named AfRoSaUce who claimed it was over a year old. It quickly became popular and speculation was raised that it was some form of mod. AfRoSaUce denied the allegation, believing it to be a network problem.

Since the video's first appearance, several new videos have surfaced, all of which are very apparent hoaxes, with characters who do have gamertags, running animations, and the like. However, a number of mods have surfaced with players controlling characters without these, but not on Xbox live.
