Cold Storage, is a warmly crafted, dutifully beautified update of Halo: CE classic multiplayer map, Chill Out. It is available on Xbox Live Marketplace for free beginning JULY 7th, 2008.

The nitty-gritty: Make sure you download Cold Storage (it's free, why wouldn't you?) because playlists that previously required the Legendary Maps will have their designation in-game changed to "Requires All Maps." That means the Hardcore playlists and the Double EXP weekends will all require Cold Storage (the exceptions are MLG and Grifball when it returns).
