I play strikeout a lot and I enjoy this map really well for every single thing except one,The tower. Whenever the site is on there it's just a 50/50, and a race to the top and whoever's reaches there stays there till the end of the map, it's just very RNG imo but both the left and right sites are amazing, well balanced and thought out well
We're looking for ways to improve the middle strikeout position. Thanks for your feedback :)
Should add a small amount of cover in the middle of the tower
I agree, we will look into it.
Will there be a way to chose on what map are we playing on? Cause I wanna try it right away
We are discussing about putting something together to make this experience better.
The map is very fun, and I think it is fairly balanced. As a competitive player, I know that a B push is much harder than an A push, but also much less rewarding as A is quite easy to retake, which gives a balance to A site and B site. One thing that could improve the map would be to make the red hallway just a little bit wider so anvils shield cannot block it to make B pushes a little bit easier. This has all been referring to demolition.
Hi!
In regards to your suggestion about red hall, we feel that spot allows rogues like Anvil and Trench to use their ability effectively. If you're experiencing a blockade in your push, that player is probably doing their job well! The key is that the Anvil player simply cannot punish you for trying to destroy it, so it's best to just shoot at it and then plan around what the enemy is doing afterwards. Get an EMP on your team, or the Shredder Rounds perk, and go ham on it!
Very much enjoy the map. Feel like majority of my games reach their final rounds on this map so great balance I personally feel. I'd like to get feedback if there are any plans on adding noise to garage doors opening/closing. Maybe they make a sound but nothing I can recall from as far as recently playing.
There is a sound, but I've seen a lot of people miss the audio que. We'll take a look at it and see if we can make it louder/ more obvious.
Will we ever get the chance to slay it out in the inside of The Arena?
We'll have to ring the Dr on the flip phone and ask
Lock down's better than most of the large maps. I honestly just dont like large maps so im biased. The fact people can third person peak and see you 200 feet away is kinda lame. Small maps just feel better. High castle and Icarus are easily the best maps in the game. My question is do you plan on making more small maps? Cause so far all the new ones are huge.
Btw i only play demo.
My question is do you plan on making more small maps?
Absolutely!
did you intend to make the ziplines a deathtrap?
What makes you feel they are a death trap?
Great map
Thanks buddy :)

Yep, lots of plans for maps both big and small!
I'd really like to see some type or barrier on the tower in Lockdown. Especially in Strikeout, its difficult enough to get up there without being shot down. But then having virtually no cover at all is very difficult. The only way to have cover is with Anvil, but every team just shoots it until its completely gone or glitch hacks it. So a change there would be amazing! And would make the map a million times more playable.
Strikeout definitely amplifies the risk of the tower, especially when the point is up there. We're looking at new locations for the mid point. Thanks for the feedback!
I may be alone, but I actually enjoy playing lockdown. There always seems to be a phantom on both teams, but that’s is just the nature of a longer ranged map. It is much harder to run phantom on maps like arena.
My one gripe however is the middle tower point on strikeout. It was super fun trying to contest that point in my earlier levels, but as my opponents and I get better it just seems really strange fighting around a point, not being able to get on it without knocking the whole enemy team.
Hi!
We're seeing a lot of people with the same sentiment and are considering adjusting that point to improve the play in that area. I personally agree that the fun of Strikeout is fighting over the point and seeing it change hands often.
Hello there, the lockdown map is one of the most popular in my queue in recent times. In general I like this map very much but I have the impression that the tower in the middle of the map is too high. In my opinion it should be a bit lower but it should have thicker pillars to hide behind, but be careful not to overdo it because this tower may be a very strong point on the map. My question is when will wingman mode be punished to the game
Glad to hear that! I wanted the tower to be very high risk/ high reward which is why there is very little cover up there currently. We're watching closely to see how this kind of verticality sits with players as it's not something we have in all of our maps. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
I just love everything about it
asking a question or making a suggestion
Im glad you like it. Which part do you like specifically?
Great map. It could do with more boxes at the rear of each spawn in the big empty areas. In strikeout this would give you a chance to fight back when pinned in the spawn.
We've definitely noticed some teams having a hard time fighting out of spawn once they've been pushed back. We're looking into some ways to address that.
I just love everything about it
Thanks for sharing your appreciation for it! What is your favorite aspect?
I think its a terrible map for Strikeout
Could you please elaborate on why?
Hey there Rogues! Today, members of the Level Design team are here to read your thoughts and answer a few questions on the Lockdown Map! We'll be here from about 2 PM ET (18:00 UTC) for at least an hour and grab as many questions/suggestions as we can.
Released in September, this map was located in the Venezuelan jungle, had a unique elevated position, and both interior and exterior areas to control. A few points to ensure your question gets answered and the mods don't edit it:
Fire away!
