Nah. It sucks. It becomes stale after 5 minutes of play. If Lockout is available for Halo 3 that will be the only map you will ever see.
Yes. I'm dead serious.

For fictional reasons, we decided to avoid Halo’s slightly surreal compromise of two identical Master Chiefs and rather, use this opportunity to expand the Halo universe just a little bit. Player one will control the Master Chief, player two will control the Arbiter and players three and four will get the chance to control two brand new Elite characters.
Allow us to introduce them:
PLAYER 3 (Sangheili)
Name: N’tho ‘Sraom
Affiliation: Fleet of Retribution/Special Warfare Group/Special Operations
History: N’tho ‘Sraom is the youngest member of his Special Operations unit and is one of a growing number of human sympathizers amongst the Sangheili youth. He is a fairly typical young male adult Sangheili—he began compulsory military service at the end of adolescence, and remains unmarried with no close, non-familial relationships outside of his martial order. N’tho Sraom refused to stand idly by while the Prophets replaced Sangheili units with Jiralhanae packs, and now bears deep resentment toward those Sangheili politicians who landed his kind in their current predicament.
Although N’tho ‘Sraom’s romanticized nationalism is emblematic of all Sangheili, he has developed a healthy respect for humanity—not for their physical abilities or martial prowess, but for their audacity and resolve.
PLAYER 4 (Sangheili)
Name: Usze ‘Taham
Affiliation: Fleet of Retribution/Special Warfare Group/Fleet Security
History: Although Usze ‘Taham was born into a respected merchant family he was fathered by Toha ‘Sumai—one of the preeminent swordfighters of this age. Usze graduated with honors from the top War College in the Iruiru region of Yermo, Sanghelios (a distinction he shares with Rtas 'Vadum). Shortly after receiving his first post within the Covenant Navy he was offered a place on the Prophets’ Honor Guard but he declined citing “lack of practical experienceâ€. In truth, he had no desire to be part of a largely ceremonial unit, and at the end of his third combat tour, Usze ‘Taham again refused the post—even though his superiors warned him such behavior could be misinterpreted as apostasy.
Since that time Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and served with distinction for two additional tours before the Schism. Following the dissolution of the Covenant, he was approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons within the Navy.

Ghey. No new SPARTANS to play as. At least General G will be happy.
And Neg, I know for a fact it will work, why? Because Halo 1 for PC had that type of matchmaking, the type I'm talking about. There was no map that didn't have at least 6 or 7 rooms worth of people playing it. Everyone has tendencies.
EDIT:
4 player Co-Op, over t3h internets. Awsome. I'm actually gettign a job just so that I can buy this.

PC and Xbox live are very different. I have played Halo on Xbox live for over 3 years now and it is a fact Lockout has 86% of the custom games logged by Halo 2. The same will happen to Halo 3.
Why would it be the same for Halo 3? Are the people who play Halo 1 and the people who play Halo 2 different?
It would be the same because pretty much anyone that plays Halo 2 will play Halo 3. Not to mention you can't play Halo 1 on xbox live.
And besides with the friend's list and recent players list there will be over 200 custom games available for a gamer. You can choose from that list and join any custom games available you want.

He didn't get what I meant.I meant in Custom Games you get lockout all the time because that is everyone's favorite map.
In matchmaking it's possible to play a specific gametype/map quite a few times in a row, but those instances are very slim.
Nice and cosy, no vehicles to worry about, no severely advantaged weapons (AKA sword) for the map terrain itself.
