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 whatever the persons player model is, weapon and color.
The attack the person liked to use in the YouTube video Plasma Grenades to stick in game players, most of the time sucessfully sticking them, and having an seemingly unlimited supply of them. Its patterns are not consistent because it's an acutal person, the player will sometimes ignore players completely, and other times aggressively pursue players
The ghost does not walk like most players due to the lag, 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 also due to lag.
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.
