Chill Out: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:05, June 12, 2011

Chill Out is a multiplayer map in Halo: Combat Evolved. Being one of the smallest multiplayer maps in the game, Chill Out is well suited for small, preferably team-based games between two to eight players.

Summary

Chill Out is a small map, consisting of an asymmetrical set of rooms inside a Covenant ship or structure. The floor of the area is covered with a layer of mist, and much of the architecture is damaged and lays in pieces.

The map is available both for Xbox and PC/Mac. The area does not have any bases, but with it's broken bridge and asymmetrical design, Chill Out makes a unique CTF map, as one team usually has a larger area to defend than the other.

Tactics

Due to the close-quarters nature of the map, the Shotgun, Plasma Rifle and Needler are ideal weapon choices, but the Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and Pistol are, as usual, the most effective methods of killing opponents at anything farther than point-blank range.
There are several tall structures in the main room, one of which contains the rocket launcher.

Trivia

There is a window near the sniper rifle and teleporter exit that has a secret room on the other side. The only way to get into the room is by using the Teleporter Glitch to get to the top of the level and falling in.
The name "Chill Out" could be a reference to the fact that the floor seems to be covered in fog, indicating that the area is extremely cold. The fog and low temperatures may result from a nitrogen or supercooled methane leakage.
This map was remade as the free DLC map, Cold Storage, for Halo 3.

 == Summary ==
-Based on a floor of steaming nitrogen and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-made rooms, Chill Out is an extremely varied and asymmetrical map. The color scheme (pink/purple) is similar to [[Midship]].

-This map is both for [[Xbox]] and [[Personal computer|PC]]/[[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Mac]]. The level does not have any bases, as there are rooms inside of a building making up the level. It is a very closed in map, making great combat with minimal people. With the unique bridge and varied symmetry, ''Chill Out'' is a unique [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] map, as one team usually does have more defense than the other.

-*Due to the close-quarters nature of the map, the Shotgun; [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]] and [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] are ideal weapons, but the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]], [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]], and [[Pistol]] are, as usual, the most effective methods of killing opponents at anything farther than point-blank range.

-*There are several tall structures, one of which contains the rocket launcher. This is ideal for slowing down pursuers and/or inflicting heavy casualties on groups of enemies. In addition, attaining this weapon prevents the other team from getting it, as the rocket launcher only spawns there. However, do it quickly, as there will be '''heavy''' competition.

 ==Trivia==
-*This map could have been an attacked Covenant structure, evident by the damaged path, walls and mist on the floor, perhaps by a quick and vicious [[The Flood|Flood]] attack, but the lack of Flood biomass makes this unlikely. It is most likely a Covenant facility of some sort under construction or repair.
 *There is a window near the sniper rifle and teleporter exit that has a secret room on the other side. The only way to get into the room is by using the Teleporter Glitch to get to the top of the level and falling in.
-*The name "Chill Out" could be a reference to the fact that the floor seems to be made of nitrogen, a very cold chemical known for being able to freeze objects completely through when in liquid form.

 *This map was remade as the free DLC map, [[Cold Storage]], for ''[[Halo 3]]''.
-*It is possible that this map is on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] vessel. Because, nearly all ships in the Covenant fleet have been in combat, this is possibly a damaged vessel while the mist on the floor is [[methane]] (Due to leaks that might have occured in combat and the large number of [[Unggoy|Grunt]] infantry on ships).
