'''Cold Storage''' is a ''Halo 3'' | This is a new map announced by Bungie at [[MLG]] San Diego on June 14, 2008,<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid14227</ref> '''Cold Storage''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' remake of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' map [[Chill Out]]. It was previously known as Smuggler.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=22102065&postRepeater1-p=3</ref> | ||
[[Bungie]] made an official statement online about the level in their Bungie Weekly update on 20th of June. It was first shown in an exhibition game between Bungie members, Lukems and Shishka and MLG Pros, Karma and Legend<ref>http://www.mlgpro.com/?q=node/219030</ref> which served as the map's debut. No release date or other details of its release have been given yet. | |||
It is set in a [[Forerunner]] facility, with one screen showing [[Flood]] bio-mass, and by the "transmissions" revealed in several Bungie Weekly Updates, it may be evident that Cold Storage is located somewhere on [[Delta Halo]], possibly a [[Flood Containment Facility]]. | |||
{{quote|Smuggler was the code name for Cold Storage. It will be included, along with Purple Reign and Moonbase Alpha, in the next map pack|Faerr, a Bungie.net member}} | |||
The | {{quote|The first sentence is a fact. The second one is an incorrect assumption|Luke Smith}} | ||
This implies that one of the three aforementioned maps will not be included in the third map pack. It would seem as if Luke was referring to Cold Storage being in the next map pack as the incorrect assumption, though it is very possible he was referring to one of the other maps mentioned by Faerr. With "Bungie Day" coming up on July 7th, it is possible Cold Storage will be released for free since it looks content complete and it is the only unreleased DLC map that has been revealed by Bungie. | |||
== | ==Smuggler== | ||
Before the map was revealed, it was known as Smuggler. Two transmissions about it were posted on Bungie.net. | |||
In the Bungie Weekly Update 5/30/08<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931</ref>, the following transmission was shown: | |||

===Theories=== | |||
=== Theories === | The mention of [[Installation 05]]'s monitor, [[2401 Penitent Tangent]], would seem to suggest that the map would take place somewhere on [[Delta Halo]]. | ||
The second timestamp seems to imply that this was when the [[Flood]] broke free on Delta Halo the first time, since it equals approximately 99,779 years. Perhaps this map shows how, considering this and the mention of how the best laid plans can fail as stated by Luke in one of Bungie's Weekly Updates. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Cold Storage is one of the first multiplayer maps to feature even a slightest sight of a Flood combatant (let alone ''any combatant from Campaign mode''), although it's deceased. | |||
*The first time stamp '2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds' is the equivalent of 290 years, 7 months, 14 minutes, 6 seconds. The second timestamp is equivalent to 99,779 years, 204 days, 6 hours, 4 minutes, 46 seconds. | |||
*It is most likely that this level is a Forerunner containment structure on Delta Halo, because 2401 Penitent Tangent was in charge. The Flood may have broken free in the facility and the computer monitoring send a message to 2401 Penitent Tangent. When it had received no message back, it reported directly to [[Installation 00]]. | |||
*It is also possible that the "[[slipspace]] transportation conduits" is referring to the teleportation grid on the halos, which 343 Guilty Spark used on Installation 04, and that Gravemind took control over via 2401 Penitent Tangent on Installation 05. | |||
*[[LF.Xx.3273]] is the Forerunner term for the Flood Super Cell.<ref>[[Bestiarum]]</ref> | |||
*Cold Storage will be the third Halo 3 map to be completely indoors, the first being [[The Pit]] and the second being [[Foundry]]. | |||
*Cold Storage is the second map in Halo 3 to include teleporters by default. However, the teleporters are blue instead of common green. The multiplayer map Gemini has also blue teleporters. | |||
*In the two screenshots released on 6/20/08, one shows a Flood Tank Form being stored in what appears to be a cryogenic tube, and the other shows a monitor locked in some sort of a holster on the ceiling. | |||
*Cold Storage is a remake of the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] map [[Chill Out]], which was said on Bungie.net.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14347</ref> | |||
*It appears that one of the cryogenic tubes has burst, leaving behind Flood Biomass where the base used to be. | |||
*This map, [[Purple Reign]] or [[Moonbase Alpha]] will not be released with the other two in the next map pack, as Luke implies in the quote above. | |||
*The map's weapon placements are the same (or close to) Chill Out's, one adjustment being the pair of grenades removed from the southwestern half and the northeastern half in the curved hallways. Originally four grenades spawned there. | |||
*It is speculated to be released for free on Bungie Day (7/7/08), considering the extensive coverage of the map and the implication that the map may not be included with Moonbase Alpha and Purple Reign in the next [[Map_pack#Third_Unnamed_Map_Pack|map pack]]. | |||
*There will be a lot more about Cold Storage sometime this week.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14472</ref>. | |||
