Bungie remakes Chillout - Cold Storage

[Terry]

http://www.mlgpro.com/?q=node/219030


As promised, Bungie was on hand at MLG San Diego to unveil a “chilly” treat for the attendees of the event. Lukems and Shishka of Bungie picked up two of MLG’s biggest stars, Karma and Legend, in a 2v2 exhibition match fit for the highlight reels. Much like the exhibition match at MLG Meadowlands, the match was used to unveil a brand new map that’s very close to all of our hearts.

Now let us get straight to the point: Chill Out is back! Resurrected from the days of Halo: CE, Bungie has answered many of our prayers and recreated Chill Out in all of its glory. The new map, dubbed “Cold Storage,” will presumably be released for Halo 3 sometime soon (although Bungie is still keeping the lid on any concrete info regarding dates). When the announcement was made, the audience at MLG San Diego erupted in applause, and the very first match was then played. Check out our photo gallery from the unveiling, where you can get a glimpse of the very first publically released images of the map anywhere on the planet!

I'm pretty much glad they did this in that I loved chillout alot. But at the same time I feel sort of iffy about them making so many remakes instead of making GOOD new maps. Hopefully this remake will play well and be just as fun.

CHILL
OUT
!!!!!!!!!!!

if there are any more remakes....they should make chiron :awesome:
hopefully not though.

[thehoodedsmack]

The Pit seems like a spiritual successor to Chiron. We don't need more "Spartan training facilities". We need more NEW maps. This doesn't have enough pictures for me to get a good reference, but looks okay as is.

[Stormwing]

The Pit seems like a spiritual successor to Chiron. We don't need more "Spartan training facilities".
I just mean a map as crazy and ridiculous as one made out of random rooms and teleporters.

Active Camo Shotties/Rockets were stupid awesome.

[p0lar_bear]

The Pit seems like a spiritual successor to Chiron.

The Pit is nothing like Chiron TL34 at all, and thus, is not a spiritual successor.

I don't get what's so special about Chill Out anyway. It's a fun map, yes, but everyone nuts their goddamn pants over it, and god forbid you play something other than Chill Out on XBC. Bungie's paying to much attention to their Serious Business gamers and not enough to anyone else. Note how they changed the "Community" playlist category to "Hardcore," and added Team Swat to it as a permanent addition. Still waiting on those infection playlists.

FOOTNOTE:
Keep in mind the ban on MLG discussion in this forum.

[Arteen]

Judging by how well they remade Zanzibar and Sidewinder (and Lockout, I guess), I'm looking forward to Chill Out. I loved that map.

[Hotrod]

I just mean a map as crazy and ridiculous as one made out of random rooms and teleporters.
Don't mean to be advertising or anything, but I made a map like that, and you can check it out on my Fileshare if you'd like.

Chillout was one of my favorite Halo 1 maps, and I remember all those 1 vs 1 games I played on it. I'm really glad that they are remaking it, and I hope it's just as good as the original.

[Heathen]

Gotta agree with Polar >.>

It's a really well designed map... I liked it. It wasn't perfect of course, the inclusion of the in that map was just obnoxious and unnecessary.

[Heathen]

the inclusion of the in that map was just obnoxious and unnecessary.

Um....missing word please?

Or are we supposed to guess...

My guess is Brutal Anal Rape >.>

[Botolf]

I liked Damnation better, but Chill Out was a really fun map.

[DaneO'Roo]

Yay, my favorite map.

[t3h m00kz]

It's cool that they're remaking it but wtf, mlg

[jngrow]

As much as I will like this remake, ENOUGH OF THE REMAKES. NEW MAPS PLEASE.

[Limited]

I like remakes, as long as they do have new maps, which Halo 3 does.

Its a good shoutout to the real fans out there that have been with the series since Halo 1.

This will be a great map, always fast past. I hate HUUUUUGE maps that take ages to find an enemy.

[StankBacon]

I don't get what's so special about Chill Out anyway. I


chill out is one of the best halo maps ever.

[Kornman00]

Oh, so this is why bungie is starting to fail, they can't come up with any new ideas!

[Heathen]

I want more Midships and more Warlocks.

Symmetric maps FTW

[Arteen]

As much as I will like this remake, ENOUGH OF THE REMAKES. NEW MAPS PLEASE.

Oh, so this is why bungie is starting to fail, they can't come up with any new ideas!
What the heck are you guys talking about? Only 3 of the current 17 H3 maps are remakes. Including the other 3 maps we know about, that will be 4 of 20. Is that so horrible?

[Kornman00]

Why, yes. Yes it is :P. I'm more so annoyed at the fact that they made Guardian which was suppose to be the "spiritual successor" of Lockout, then they go and release blackout in a DLC :|. Same shit, different day.

If I wanted to play sidewinder, I would plop in my Halo 1 disc. Its a new game. As selfish as this is to say: I want to play new maps that were created from the ground up with the halo 3 engine in mind, not some re-hashed crap with halo 3 sprinkles on top :/.

The only map I've ever cared to see remade was Danger Canyon, due to the fact that I can only play it on the PC, but I don't expect Bungie to drop their porters-grudge or what-the-fuck-ever they have, anytime soon.

[Terry]

One of the reasons that I see, personally, is that I don't think Bungie has really caught a feel for the halo 3 engine as yet. I mean, this is just my opinion, but most of their maps don't even really seem to flow as well as they used to in the previous games. Maybe they are still trying to figure out what really works.

[Llama Juice]

See, I'm an avid DDR player. In DDR often times they'll re-release old songs as DLC with pretty much no alterations to it (the steps would be the same... but the background would be different... which doesn't effect it at all.

Point is?

People still buy those old songs for the nostalgia. People will buy these songs because they know they will be good.

Same thing with how Nintendo abuses Mario games... how many times have they re-released the old Mario games in new packages? AND THEY STILL SELL.

People want these old maps, whenever Bungie releases new stuff they're always like "Due to popular demand blah blah blah" why? Because it's easier to say "MAKE CHILLOUT" than "COME UP WITH A NEW IDEA THAT MIGHT NOT TURN OUT AS WELL AS CHILLOUT!"

AKA now they can make a huge splash with the oldschool community (who much of which barely play H3 anymore...) and get some old players back in the game. From a business standpoint it's an extremely good idea to remake oldschool classics.

[Terry]

Camera video of the map. From what I see, it is quite close to the original. From what it looks like, the weapon placements are the same, and the geometry is quite similar.

[Con]

<3 Chill Out

[Llama Juice]

How long until you see a "We're making Cold Storage" thread on here?

[Kornman00]

How long until you see a "We're making Cold Storage" thread on here?
7...hours.

Seriously, not even money motivates people to finish CE mods :-/. A different breed of human these CE modders are...

[Sel]

I dont get why everyone likes it, I didnt really find it that fun :/

[Pooky]

You're probably a gulch tard

[Sel]

Im a danger canyon tard, dont hate.

[JDMFSeanP]

Lame.

Although I'm happy for it, Bungie are getting WAYYYY to desperate trying to get players back IMO. Need to not mess up teh first time.

[p0lar_bear]

Don't get me wrong, I like chillout. It's a good map.

I just don't get why everyone nuts in their fucking pants when someone mentions the name.

[I_Am_Error117]

nuts in their fucking pants


Uhh keep it in your pants dude. :p

[Kornman00]

Uhh keep it in your pants dude. :p
what?

[Botolf]

Lame.

Or, you know, some dudez at Bungie thought it'd be cool to give the concept a second spin.

[Lateksi]

Thanks for the video, Terry. I only recognized one of the pictures that were posted here originally.
Chill Out, Dammy, DC and BG are my favorite maps so far.

[supersniper]

I'm liking the teleporters...

[Pooky]

what?

I think he's saying that having your nuts in your pants might be a good thing :eyesroll:

[Kornman00]

But pedobear wasn't talking about the nuts in his\people's pants :eyesroll:

[p0lar_bear]

Since half of you are clueless, I was saying that I don't get why everyone has a penisplosion when Chillout appears on the mapcycle.

:eyesroll:

[Pooky]

I knew what you meant, I was just clarifying that guy's post :eyesroll::eyesroll::eyesroll::eyesroll::eyesroll: :eyesroll::eyesroll:

:eyesroll:
Penisplosion? Sounds like some horrible medical condition.

Chillout is a great small-ish map, which Halo 3 needs, since it only has Guardian and Blackout for that right now (too bad they are all remakes of or "inspired by" a previous map). I hope that they'll make a nice arena map too, sometime (or at least add some Forge Foundry maps, like the fantastic Wizard/Warlock remake Metalock to matchmaking).

Yay, some clear images of the map. Very nice looking and the map seems more or less unspoiled from what I gain from those pictures thus far. I'm guessing that might be a monitor in the second picture, who knows.

[itszutak]

I don't care that it's a remake, that is amazing. Holy crap.

[Inferno]

Yeah chillout is one of the best 2v2 and 3v3 maps ever made in my opinion.

[NuggetWarmer]

Hot.

[TeeKup]

I want more Midships and more Warlocks.

Symmetric maps FTW

Fuck Warlock and Wizard. I hated those maps with a passion. If anything I want large scale maps back, like Infinity and Death Island. You could actually hide and do stealthy shit in those maps.

More, Next week, form Bungie on Cold Storage too.

[Heathen]

Meh, new map might have me excited if I didn't split my halo cd in half. I hate halo 3 now :/

[Lateksi]

Almost the same weapon placements too :o

[Masterz1337]

I love how ignorant you all were when reading that weekly update update.

[Hotrod]

I agree, though not everybody reads the Weekly Updates, so you can't really blame them all that much. For the record, the Shotgun isn't at the right spot in the picture, according to the actual in-game map (they said this in the Update).

[Lateksi]

I didn't read the newest update. I made a reference pic:
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll103/Lat3ksi_stuff/netCS.jpg
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll103/Lat3ksi_stuff/netCO.jpg

[Hotrod]

Those two pictures just made me realize how much technology in gaming has evolved in the past years. I mean, look at the difference between the two, Chillout is all blocky, not rounded out or anything like that and has not much detail, and Cold Storage is quite the opposite, all nice and everything.

[p0lar_bear]

And to think that at one point we saw those as good graphics.

It's like when I saw a side-by-side of Metal Gear Solid on the PSX and the GCN remake.

[AAA]

Jesus, It's like looking at a stack of cubes and rectangular prisms compared to the circulatory system!! THE CHANGE IS A SLIGHTLY HIGHER LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY AND OH SO BEAUTIFUL! :awesome:

[Lateksi]

BTW, is Chilly supposed to look Covenant? It's a bit like Hang 'Em high where you don't know if it's Forerunner or something else. However, the new map is Forerunner... like most of H3 maps are. Notice how the game lacks Covie maps!

[Terry]

Chillout is distinctly forerunner. Human constructs have a special look in all the halo games. IE. They never had purple walls. Hang 'em High was obviously forerunner for its forerunner textures and the glaring Halo in the sky.

It is also commendable that Cold Storage actually looks like it could be a storage and study facility. Or atleast a section of one. Alot of the other maps look as though they were specifically built for SPARTAN BATTLES but this one actually looks like it has another purpose.

[Masterz1337]

You'll have a much better understanding soon of exactly what CS is.

[Hotrod]

Well, we all know that this isn't one of the three maps in the upcoming map pack, and it's the only new map announced (with detail) so far, unlike the other times, where they either announced them all at the same time, or gave dates to when the others would be announced. So, I have a theory that this map will be released (either for free, or for Microsoft Points) on Bungie Day (July 7th). This is just my opinion, but I think that it makes sense.

[Heathen]

well then 6 more days

[Darqeness]

Not to mention it's codename, Smuggler was announced quite a while after Purple Reign and Moonbase Alpha, yet it was the first map out of the three to be properly revealed. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out on Bungie Day.

[Hotrod]

Wasn't it's codename mentioned for the first time when they announced the map to be a remake of Chillout, so two-three weeks ago?

[Arteen]

Maybe it's just me, but it reminds me of Metroid Prime. That room looks awesome.

[Terry]

See? Why couldn't there be stuff like this in campaign. That is just freaking awesome.

[Hotrod]

Shit, that screenshot is awesome. I wish every Halo 3 map was something impressive that like. I mean, yes, lots of the maps look really nice, but are nothing compared to that.

[Terry]

Cold Storage will be released for free starting 7/7!

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14568

There will also be a price cut on the legendary map packs from 800 MSP to 600.

[Hotrod]

Ah, so I was right about one thing, though it was kind of obvious, if you thought about it a bit. I'm not trying to sound smart or anything, and if I do, and you feel insulted by that in any way, I'm sorry.

Also, thank you Terry for posting this.

YES ITS FREEEEEEE

Christ I hated the Phazon mines. It was fun until the fucking elite pirates started scaring the shit out of me. I though I had a heart attack when I started facing the Omega Pirate.

[Sever]

Just watched the new vidoc, and it still looks awesome. One thing that would be cool (but isn't implemented, at least as far as I can tell from the video) is having the Flood Pure Form encased in its containment tube morph between its three different states over the course of the game.

[Pooky]

Christ I hated the Phazon mines. It was fun until the fucking elite pirates started scaring the shit out of me. I though I had a heart attack when I started facing the Omega Pirate.

You mean the Omega Pussy (easiest boss battle ever...)

But yeah the Space Pirates were scary as shit in that game... especially the invisible ones :(

i wanna know what that thing on the ceiling is :mad:

You guys talking about metroid sound like your talking about the most typical videogame cliche's :P

Yeah, but Space Pirates? Invisible Space Pirates? Omega Pirates? Phazon Mines?

Doesen't any of this seem cliche to you?

[Pooky]

If it's a cliche then it's a cliche that Metroid started... considering it's been around since the NES.

[Heathen]

Ok, that statement means you win because your absolutely right.

This is Treason.

In Prime 2, I coughed up a chunk of my heart. The Space Pirates were so ridiculously stupid and boring I almost threw my controller at my T.V.

and pathetically easy... especially compared to the beam pirates :\

[Arteen]

and pathetically easy... especially compared to the beam pirates :\
Those darn wave pirates! The rest can be handled easily with missile combos (power/ice) or normal fire (plasma), but the wave pirates were a pain. They were brutal in the first room you encounter them.

Also, Halo needs Sheegoths.

[p0lar_bear]

Yeah, I mean, it's not like the game was focused on fighting the Ing or anything. :eyesroll:

[MithosK]

Yeah, I mean, it's not like the game was focused on fighting the Ing or anything. :eyesroll:
Yes, because the Space Pirates have never done anything that would make Samus' past GRIMDARK and there fore there is no reason for Samus to hunt them down en masse...

(this post brought to you by tuuuuuuuubes)

[Pooky]

Yeah but they would have been more brutal if I wasn't so busy laughing my ass off at their ridiculous helmets :lol:

http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/3750/150pxplasmatrooperfullslj8.jpg

Yeah thats a plasma trooper but I couldn't find any wave ones

[Heathen]

So how is this map eh?

[p0lar_bear]

Yes, because the Space Pirates have never done anything that would make Samus' past GRIMDARK and there fore there is no reason for Samus to hunt them down en masse...

And it's not like Samus does that in about every other Metroid game to date. :eyesroll:


So how is this map eh?

As of 4:05AM EST, Cold Storage isn't on the marketplace yet. The Bungie Day '08 gamerpics and dashboard theme are, though.

[Heathen]

I was just gonna wait until it was out to check replies but I saw their already was one....
Now I'm upset because its just polar.

[Hotrod]

I just played it this morning, and I find that it's a great map. It's great, even for 1 vs 1 games. I especially love how you can see infection forms walking around outside of the windows (the room where you see the infestation through the windows). This reminds me of old times in Halo 1, and I'm glad Bungie remade it.

[PlasbianX]

I dont like the map. I think the graphics just feel... way outta place. Its hard to describe, but the textures to me for some reason just don't feel like they fit the rest of the game. Kinda looks like something on the wii... i dunno...

[Heathen]

...Lucky Gooses... I wanna play the pretty map :saddowns:

[Ifafudafi]

Map is :awesome:. Just played a most excellent game of Fiesta Slayer, and got a big Rocket/Sword frenzy (my BR is crying.) Quite faithful to Chill out, but still fresh enough to feel like a new stage.

As for the "feel" of the map... it's much different; an odd mix of Forerunner, Covenant, and light blue. But it's still pretty good. Could use more normal maps, though.

[Lateksi]

OK, I'm starting Xbox now.

E\: It's one of my fave H3 maps now.

[Roostervier]

Played this map with Con, p0lar, Ifafudafi, Muki, and a few others earlier. We played a game of infection, but the gametype needed some work, the way we had forged the map up. I got a killionaire killing Con and Ifafudafi (I think those were the two) because of messed up spawns.

[Ifafudafi]

That's 'cause we were playing an Infection variant where all the Zombies are superfast, but have extremely low health and no shields. We spawned in the same fucking place every fucking time, so all the humans just camped and kept killing the zombies before we could even do anything.

Then someone got too close and I sliced 'em, and then the game ended shortly afterwards.

We also played 16-player Flamethrowers-only FFA afterwards. That was fun. :awesome:

[Sever]

Retnafence and I are currently working on a kickass Infection map & gametype variant for Cold Storage called Thawspace & Freezer Burn (respectively). The map has been restructured to adequately create a very tense 'last stand' area, along with plenty of close-quarters encounter setups spread about the map. Currently, the zombies have more health, move slower, jump higher, and are immune to headshots, as to give a 'creeping death' feel. It's gonna be epic!

[Arteen]

I dont like the map. I think the graphics just feel... way outta place. Its hard to describe, but the textures to me for some reason just don't feel like they fit the rest of the game. Kinda looks like something on the wii... i dunno...
I think it fits well with the "medical" aesthetic from the Halo 2 Oracle level.

:O Me, Caboose and two other dudes were trying to get out map for like an hour. Managed to get outside a "blue" part sadly not where the flood are :(

:O Me, Caboose and two other dudes were trying to get out map for like an hour. Managed to get outside a "blue" part sadly not where the flood are :(

I managed to get into the glass area with the flood, but theres a death barrier immediately after the glass. Same with the other glass area that has the extra cyro tank type things inside it.

[PlasbianX]

I downloaded it and only ran through it for 1 min. Havent played it fully yet :X

I managed to get into the glass area with the flood, but theres a death barrier immediately after the glass. Same with the other glass area that has the extra cyro tank type things inside it.We managed that too, I'm pretty sure its impossible to get into the tank and survive, due to the death barrier, has any one tried it with full health yet?

[Hotrod]

We also played 16-player Flamethrowers-only FFA afterwards. That was fun. :awesome:
Wait, what? How can you play a 16 player FFA game using only Flamethrowers, when you can only have one Flamethrower on the map at a time, and you can't start with it (since it's a support weapon)?

Hax. Fun hax, but still hax.

[Hotrod]

Hax. Fun hax, but still hax.
Oh? I'm interested in that gametype now. Maybe if you could add me on Xbox LIVE, I could test it out?

[Limited]

I'm pretty sure its Cabooses one :)

I may have it under recent ones though.

[Hotrod]

Yeah, but I don't have Caboose on my friends list... If you do have it, we could play a game with it, then I could just take it from my recent gametypes list.

[Limited]

If you want to pop online now if you can :D

[Hotrod]

Alright, I'll go do that right now.

[Limited]

:P Was on the phone.

I couldnt see anything in settings saying give players flamer.

[Hotrod]

That's because it's a modded gametype, and that was the part that was modified.

And sorry, but I had to go, had things I had to take care of. Thank you very much though, I appreciate it.

[Limited]

As in, modded XBL ban mod? Or just "played around with".

Reason being, we've played in on custom games alot.

Np only really meant to give it to you and show you, have problems with landlords and house =\

[Hotrod]

It's a "just playing around with" mod, as long as you don't put it on your Fileshare, you're safe.

[Heathen]

I thought it was if you didn't give it a thread its ok. Like open a discussion.

Also, I got the camera to the floody guy lol. Not much outside the map for fun :/

A few neat pics tho.

[Hotrod]

I thought it was if you didn't give it a thread its ok. Like open a discussion.
No, they changed that about a week ago, now you can't have it on your Fileshare.

[Heathen]

But anyways...getting out of the map is kinda :(

The entire map is self contained in a big forerunner box...kinda lame.

Regarding the 7/7 playlist, Chill Out is way too small to host 7-player FFAs, but whoever decided to put Braaaains Infection in the playlist is :awesome:. That was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. Hopefully the map will be fun once it's implemented into other playlists.

I rather liked the playout of the map and liked the way it worked.

I really like the level, but the color scheme (like a lot of the black/white contrasty forerunner designs) remind more of a level from Mass Effect than Halo.

Playing instant respawn (modded gametype) with random weapons on this map is fun :awesome:

How do you guys get these modded game types?

bungie.net

Not anymore, because those who have them on their Fileshares will get banned, and will probably remove their modded stuff off of them. That doesn't mean that some people won't have kept them, but they'll get banned soon, probably, so your best bet is to get them through custom games.

I'm all for banning the stupid map mods (hurr hurr lets put down 80 random bipeds and like 50 objects that don't work without a script), but some of these gametype mods should make Bungie favorites.

Stupid EULA.

I kinda agree. Kinda. Not all the mods were like...."Lets mess with things that are totally useless like gate doors and random bipeds, or 9012 Elephants," but some were actually useful or fun for gameplay.

I have a few mods that were actually well made for normal games, and not just stupid "luk at meh! I canz modz!! lololol" mods where there's just 10000 random things lying around. I wish they would have made a few exceptions.

So you guys want to add me on xbl (Random846) and play some custom games some time soon :D?
