    pictures and info inside


    and on a side note, been playing it for a good hour now and its really great fun.
    forge is pretty plain on that map but the filters they give you seam to work very well.
    good work Bungie and good work Microsoft making this free.
  • M724, on 07/08/2008, -2/+6I've downloaded this map and played it with a friend. It feels balanced and its size is perfect for 1-on-1 battles.

    I wonder how it'll do with a larger number of people.
    • jake108, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3I've played MLG FFA V5 on it with about nine people, Team Oddball, and CTF games with 4 on each team on the map. Surprisingly, there wasn't as much spawn-killings as you'd think. The turns in the hallways help out with that along with the fact that you don't spawn out in the open very much. Still, the smaller the number, the better experience you'll probably get.
  • CollapseControl, on 07/08/2008, -4/+6I recall CHILL OUT very well back in the day with all the LAN games I used to play. This map was in heavy rotation between my friends and I. I was excited to hear it being remade.

    But after I just tested it out last night it didn't do much for me. It feels a lot smaller than I remembered. It could also be the fact that i'm not playing Halo that much anymore. It is a great game overall tho.
  • ProfChaosOmega, on 07/08/2008, -9/+2Ill digg it since Im a halofag, but bungie day was yesterday >_>
  • Ev3nt372, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5This should have been on Digg yesterday when it actually was Bungie Day. Then again better late than never.
    • ryleyleckie, on 07/08/2008, -2/+7it was on Digg yesterday, when it actually was Bungie Day. Just wasnt made popular until today.

  • KnightMareInc, on 07/08/2008, -6/+6people who use pwn (or even own really) should be banned from the internets.

  • conversekid, on 07/08/2008, -7/+4Too bad this isn't out for PC
    • rexcom, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Great. Now let's have the PC vs. Console discussion. Thanks a lot.
  • kidsix, on 07/08/2008, -2/+6always one of my favorite maps waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the original game. this is a very faithful recreation. its small size almost guarantees you don't go long without action. thanks, bungie.
  • thePTS, on 07/08/2008, -19/+3Do me a big favour and don't use terms invented by Quake / UT / CS-gamers, for consolegames like the Halo series.
  • woodyex1, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5Chill Out REBORN!!!!!!!! *tent rises in pants*
  • Memnochxx, on 07/08/2008, -13/+11People still play halo?
  • CoreyHalliwell, on 07/08/2008, -14/+6Halo Sucks!
  • deaftly, on 07/08/2008, -6/+10Bungie Day was yesterday........
    • gmprunner, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Which was when the article was first submitted.
  • ccchapman, on 07/08/2008, -5/+4Dugg for being one of the best Halo maps ever
  • LStone, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8I'm still waiting for 'Boarding Action' to be redone.....
  • ConfusedCartman, on 07/08/2008, -9/+4Cold Storage sucks, I'd've never paid for it.
  • vkny88, on 07/08/2008, -8/+4This came out July 7th.. why is it getting on the front page today on the 8th? Digg users needs to know everything ahead of time before the release dates. I liked the older digg better : (
    • jake108, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1It was posted July 7th. It was just made popular today.
  • Gimjee, on 07/08/2008, -5/+2I would like Bungie and H3 a whole lot more of they remade classics, took down the barriers of "no you can't go on that tree branch", and gave them out for free.
  • transform100, on 07/08/2008, -5/+2I'll stick with halo pc thank you...
  • DoThaDew, on 07/08/2008, -6/+3Wow that's a new level? Looks just like every OTHER level in the game.
  • JFallon126, on 07/08/2008, -2/+4If they remake Hang em High I might pick Halo 3 back up. Until then it's COD 4 for me.
    • shmittay84, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Mr. Fallon that is exactly what I was thinking (and it better be free).
    • Megaten, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Meh, it wouldn't work most likely. They already tried to remake it in Halo 2 and it was completely broken in comparison to 1's. The main problem is that the BR doesn't have the same range as the Pistol did, in comparison to their versions of the map. As in, the pistol's length based on the size of the map in Halo 1 was perfect. In Halo 2, the BR couldn't compensate for the map being made seemingly larger...well, that and the fact that 3-bullet bursts aren't going to be that effective from the long distances between Red and Blue bases. Also, without fall damage it's a pretty ***** stupid map to begin with.

      But I feel for ya on wishing they could try to redo it yet again, only this time it magically work. Won't happen though - instead I'd rather they try to bring back maps that actually would be welcome. Battle/Beaver Creek, Longest/Elongation, Wizard/Warlock...those were already remade with this new 'BR' focus 2 and 3 have taken, and worked well...so bring em back yet again. And as for ones that haven't been tapped...why not bring back Halo 2's Midship. Casuals love it, pros for god damn sure do...and it'd certainly help fill the void of smaller maps. Also, while you're at it, bring back Damnation from Halo 1. A very solid map that would work well I believe with Halo 3's new weapon balance.
  • dupems, on 07/08/2008, -9/+2***** Halo.
  • Raethar, on 07/08/2008, -8/+1buried because cod4>H3

  • VaporBro, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8WTF is up with all the stupid comments? If you don't like Halo, go blog about it.
