K, wow, this has been a very long project of nonstop working. But this wasnt just me, Raptor Jesus, and the newest project helper ~FallenOne~ have been working on this a lot themselves, i couldnt do it without them. I really dont know where to start when explaining this map haha. I guess ill start with a "small" list of things that have been changed to make this mod:
--Model Mods--
- BR is a model 98 with the custom H2 Battle Rifle Modification
- SMG is some kind of fully automatic paintball gun
- Sniper is a paintball gun with a long barrel for accuracy (duh) and an 18 round clip
- Magnum is the WarSensor Pistol with a 10 round clip
- Shotgun is a Grapeshot (fellow paintballers should know what that is)
- Rocket launcher is a JCS rocket launcher that fires a Nerf Football as its ammunation. The model includes the JCS rocket launcher and a backpack where your player stores the extra rounds.
- Each weapon fires a paintball (a .68 cal. sphere that is filled with dyed fish oil)
- The rockets are now Nerf Footballs
--Effects Mods-
- Each gun does not have a muzzle flash anymore, instead it has the effect of Co2 being depressurized at a very high rate out the end of the barrel.
- Each paintball makes its own splatter on any piece of environment.
- The grenades and rockets make large splats and have a kill radius.
--Physics--
- Each paintball has its own accuracy and its own downdrop force to best replicate an actual paintball gun's accuracy and human error made during chrono tests.
- Paintballs will bounce off of walls if shot at the correct angle, they are still active after this so watch out for those fully auto guns.
- You can get yourself out by shooting too close to yourself (has to be very very close, as in putting your barrel to the wall) and getting paint on yourself.
--Sound Mods--
- The paintballs make a whizz sound when they go by you, a rubber sound when they bounce, and a splat sound when they hit something and break.
- The rocket launcher has a new firing sound, and the rocked makes a large splat sound when it hits something.
- The grenade makes a large splat sound as well when it explodes.
- At the beginning and end of each game, instead of the announcer talking, a buzzer sounds to signal the games start/end just like in real paintball!
--Weapon Mods--
- BR is semi auto instead of 3 round burst, and has a higher rate of fire.
- Each weapon carries a different amount of paintballs. (regular weapons 200, and specialty weapons their own amount)
- Each weapon has some sort of a visible clip or a hopper.
- The turrets shoot paintballs as well.
- You can only throw grenades while holding light-weight weapons.
- There are no binoculars, but there are still less powerful scopes.
- You cannot melee with any weapon.
--Multiplayer Mods--
- If someone is playing as an elite, they will show up as an ODST.
- The view hight of the ODST's view has been edited to match that of his actual hight.
- You now run faster (as in actually running, not jogging)
--Skin Mods--
- The paintballs have a pink skin.
- The sky has been changed.
- The weather and the fog have also been changed.
--Gameplay--
- If someone without the mod joins a game that does have the mod, it will not effect the gameplay at all, in fact, it will just add another player for you to play this mod with. He will only miss out on all the fun modifications.
--There are many many more things that i did not mention simply because there are too many things for me to think of right now, you will just have to download the mod and find out for yourself. This mod truly enhances the Halo 2 gameplay many times over and is definately worth it to download and play. Also, in the future, I plan on working with the other guys to fully modify each map using a certain application and even modifying the main menu and the intro and attract videos (I do a little video editing on the side of all my other hobbies so i want to give it a shot)--
Download:
- The download for the final version will be up later today along with many many pictures, the only reason i posted this early was to get all this information written down because it took so long and with it already done, i can get a kai server up and running for the mod. The kai server will be in Halo 2\Mods and Hacks\Lockout Paintball Mod and my kai name is Barringer. In the mean time, check out the Beta 2 and see just a handful of the features that are in the final mod.

Id like to give a big thanks to first of all the people who developed this mod, Raptor Jesus and I, and the people who helped us out along the way by telling us how to do certain stuff and helping us beta test, ~FallenOne~ and a.1337.H4X0RZ3R.
Zephyrous - Contributing a few ideas
Kekkimaro - helping beta test, being a model during the first screen shots, and letting me use his computer and internet (got nagged into saying that XP)
