I wish I could play for fun like you, but I can't. I have a competitive nature and I love ranking up. I play for fun in my alt tags, but even there, I like winning.

='( I rarely play for PURE fun and not worry about any winnings, sadly, it's usually when I'm deranking which, is kinda annoying having to find 3 other people to come with me.


Deceiver... don't be dumb... I play with you all the time ;-)

Im 20 yrs old but wouldnt think a guy being 40 playing halo would be bad.

If by "not bad" you mean that it is acceptable, I am glad. I'm 42 and I enjoy the games immensely.

If by "not bad" you mean my skills? Then I might disagree. I know that I suck at the game compared to others. So some of us older gamers may not have the wins that younger gamers do. *grin*

But my enjoyment of a game is not related to how well I score against other players. My enjoyment is a personal measure and is more about how I spend my time, not my win:loss, kill:death, or any other ratio.


I play with a bunch of guys in there 40's and they have lives buddy.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

The real question is, When are you too young to play Halo 2? That's the question that doesn't ever seem to be answered.

27 y/o here with wife and 2 young children. I love playin halo MM. I play a couple hours most weeknights and around 4 to 5 on weekends. That still leaves plenty of room for other hobbies. I play paintball ,dirt bike and hang with the fellas. Don't fear young bucks, you can still play video games and have a LIFE. For me as long as the family is taken care of and the bills are getting paid why the heck not. I may be older but don't mean i'm slower. I can quick scope snipe like a beast.

Never too old.

I think I read something about how older people can use videogames to improve their reflexes and mental agility. Which in turn stops them doing stupid stuff like falling over or bumping into things.

Ironic aint it, Bungie actually benefit from playing their own games!
