This is my latest remake. Well actually my latest remake of a remake. My first two maps, Druid and Longreach, were remakes of Warlock and Elongation, which were remakes of Wizard and Longest. This is a remake of a remake of Chill Out. This map has all the same spawn points and weapons as Halo 3's Cold Storage. Most remakes of Cold Storage that I've seen have not really captured the actual size of the map. Those remakes are usually too large in scale. Unfortunately the physics of Reach prevent certain jumps from Halo 3. You can still access the rockets by jumping to the rocket spawn and grabbing them on the way down. Or you could use a jetpack. You can land on the rocket spawn ledge, but it's pretty hard because you'd have to sprint and crouch jump. But if you want those rockets, you'll have to work for them. The Power Drain, Regenerator and Bubble Shield have been replaced with Armor Lock and Drop Shield. Weapons, Power-Ups & Armor Abilities: DMR x 1 AR x 1 Plasma Rifle x 2 Shotgun x 1 Sniper Rifle x 1 Rockets x 1 Needler x 1 Frags x 6 Plasma Grenades x 4 Here are some screenshots...
nice map, right away i could tell cold storage. yea same here i have played a lot of remakes. but if you need to get a party together add me. nice map.
WoW! Great remake. Nice aesthetic. I`m loving the rocket spawn and the middle path. Best remake of Cold Storage so far in my opinion! 5/5
I'm not so sure I like the name, but overall the forging looks great. I never was one for Cold Storage, but as a remake this looks great. From what I can tell, the structure and layout matches well. But what about all the tactical jumps? For example, the area in the 9th picture (with armor lock): In the original, you could jump from the room below it up to that area. Can you still do that in this remake? And as a side not, I love how you styled the flood examination room.
Well the name falls in line with the cold themed names like Cold Storage and Chill Out. You shiver when you're cold. I thought it fit anyways. When you remake a map, you can pick out the name. Sorry, no tactical jump. I would have had to add a couple of ledges to make it possible with Reach's physics. I used that jump a lot in Cold Storage and thought about it, but it just didn't work out. I might go back and add it in just so its there. I couldn't make that room the exact same anyways (or didn't want to try) because Cold Storage's windows bow out. I know most people either hated or loved Cold Storage, so even though you weren't a big fan, I appreciate the positive feedback on the forging aspect of the map.
Poptart: U Jelly, bro? You're not the only one entitled to a remake, and there's nothing suspicious about this map at all. Think if I were to accuse all of the Warlock/Wizard remakes out there of "stealing" my idea. There's been at least a dozen in the past week; I don't think I would have much success. At the very least, try to provide constructive criticism.
