Gameplay footage of Halo 3’s newest map, Cold Storage

As any faithful Halo 3 player knows, the new map “Cold Storage” was debuted two nights ago at MLG’s competition at San Diego. The map, which is a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s “Chill Out” is Bungie’s final announcement of the new map pack which will also contain the new maps Purple Reign and Moonbase Alpha. Above is some of the first footage debuted at MLG San Diego in which MLG Halo 3 pros Karma and LegendPimps teamed with Bungie developers Shishka and Luke Smith to play a quick 2 on 2 game on the new map.

In all honesty, being a huge Halo fan I’m not very impressed by this announcement. Chill Out never really stood out as one of the best maps in the Halo series, and I was hoping that Bungie would announce a remake or reimagination of Midship, Sanctuary or even Blood Gulch. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how the remake is when the third map pack releases later in the year.

    Yeah, I’m also pretty surprised that they haven’t released another Blood Gulch.

    And yeah, Chill Out was never one of the best Halo 1 maps. Personally, I wish they’d remake Damnation.

    Can’t tell you how many suicides I tallied up playing on Damnation…fun, yes but also never really my finest hour.

    I doubt we’ll see a Blood Gulch revision. Valhalla seems to be what we have, and it’s my favorite out of the three.

    I’m pretty sure your right about Valhalla being the Blood Gulch Remake. I think that they should remake Ascension, Warlock, Terminal, Turf, or even Headlong.
