'''Icebox''' is a map featured in the cancelled ''[[Halo Online]]'' game and a remake of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' map [[Turf]].


==Layout==
==Universe and lore==
Icebox is very similar to [[Turf]]. It consists of a road, which runs part of the outside of the map, and several alleyways between parts of the road before and after the bend. At the center of the road's corner there is a [[Warthog]] and a Sniper Rifle (the latter is atop a platform). Nearby both team's spawning area there is a Brute Shot. On one side, where the road is blocked and leads off, away from the map, there is a small [[UNSC]] fortification, next to a Russian UNSC training center.
Icebox is set in [[Precinct 13]], a downtown district of Tyumen, Russia. Befitting its setting, the map is covered in snow and ice, with several [[energy shield]] barriers installed on the main street to seal the sector off for urban combat training in [[War Games]] and a small [[UNSC]] outpost is present in the street. Outside the map, the metropolis of Tyumen can be seen. The buildings in the district have signs written in Russian, though a few bear the logo of [[Cascade Stronghold Technologies]]. Due to the cancellation of ''Halo Online'', the map is considered non-canon.
 
==Overview==
Icebox is a remake of the ''Halo 2'' [[Killtacular Pack]] map [[Turf]], and features an almost identical layout, being asymmetric and focusing on small-medium sized numbers of players. The map features an L-shaped main road forming the boundary of two of the map's exterior edges, with the remaining section in between formed of tight alleys and courtyards. A single neutral [[Warthog]] spawns on the corner of the large road in the middle of the map, with the [[Sniper Rifle]] spawning nearby on a platform. By both team spawns there is a [[Brute Shot]].

Template:Notcanon Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article Quote Icebox is a map featured in the cancelled Halo Online game and a remake of the Halo 2 map Turf.

Universe and lore

Icebox is set in Precinct 13, a downtown district of Tyumen, Russia. Befitting its setting, the map is covered in snow and ice, with several energy shield barriers installed on the main street to seal the sector off for urban combat training in War Games and a small UNSC outpost is present in the street. Outside the map, the metropolis of Tyumen can be seen. The buildings in the district have signs written in Russian, though a few bear the logo of Cascade Stronghold Technologies. Due to the cancellation of Halo Online, the map is considered non-canon.

Overview

Icebox is a remake of the Halo 2 Killtacular Pack map Turf, and features an almost identical layout, being asymmetric and focusing on small-medium sized numbers of players. The map features an L-shaped main road forming the boundary of two of the map's exterior edges, with the remaining section in between formed of tight alleys and courtyards. A single neutral Warthog spawns on the corner of the large road in the middle of the map, with the Sniper Rifle spawning nearby on a platform. By both team spawns there is a Brute Shot.

Changes from Turf

  • The setting has been changed from Mombasa to Tyumen, Russia.
  • The map is now set in a snowy environment.
  • The Type-47A Scarab has been removed, leaving only rubble in its place.
  • Some places are now blocked off with energy shields.
  • The buildings have a different appearance.
