Cold Storage is a Forerunner [[Flood Containment Facility]] -- that is, a Flood cryogenic containment and research facility<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14640 '''Bungie.net''': ''Cold Storage Q&A'']</ref> -- located on [[Delta Halo]]. The facility has had an outbreak of the [[LF.Xx.3273|Flood Super Cell]] (possibly the origin of the massive Flood outbreak on Installation 05). Being derived from a ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' map, many changes needed to be made to Cold Storage to bring it into line with ''Halo 3'''s updated physics and graphic design. Many of the jumps and railings have been tweaked, like those on [[Blackout]], but they stay well within the layout of Chill Out. | ''Cold Storage'' is a [[Forerunner]] [[Flood Containment Facility]] -- that is, a Flood cryogenic containment and research facility<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14640 '''Bungie.net''': ''Cold Storage Q&A'']</ref> -- located on [[Delta Halo]].

The [[Cold Storage Monitor]] in the ceiling follows players' movements, but will stop once they leave the room. It has been speculated to be a "local caretaker," designated to watch over the facility like a prison guard, similar to a "dumb" [[UNSC]] [[AI]]. The monitor will even observe invisible players which can be used to your advantage or theirs. | The [[Cold Storage Monitor]] in the ceiling follows players' movements, but will stop once they leave the room.

There are only a handful of new [[Forge Objects]] available for Cold Storage, including Energy Barriers similar to the ones on [[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]] and [[Forge Filters]] that affect the color and overall tone of the map. The [[Soccer Ball]] is once again included, and the [[Mongoose]] and [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] can be placed in as well, though the map is not especially designed for the vehicles. It is the only map that isn't from a map pack that has color filters. | There are only a handful of new [[Forge Objects]] available for Cold Storage, including Energy Barriers similar to the ones on ''[[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]]'' and [[Forge Filters]] that affect the color and overall tone of the map.

The [[M7057 Defoliant Projector|flamethrower]] is available for use, but can only be added in [[Forge]]. [[Teleporters]] have a new design to them, as they now have a circular base instead of the usual three-pronged base. They also have blue-violet color rather than the usual green aura. | The [[M7057 Defoliant Projector|flamethrower]] is available for use, but can only be added in [[Forge]].

*A part of this map's "Walls" were, until recently, used as Bungie.net's wallpaper.

*Some thought the level would be a remake of [[Derelict]] because in the first message it says REPORT: DERELICTION OF DUTY. This could also be a reference to the map. | *Some thought the level would be a remake of ''[[Derelict]]'' because in the first message it says REPORT: DERELICTION OF DUTY.
