Subject: Lol. I'm too old to play Halo2!

You can never be too old for gaming. My uncle and his coworkers at the bank all have a get together where they lan 360 games in his basement on LCDs. Games like Call of Duty 3, and Gears of War. I wanted to go to one but couldn't for reasons I forgot =(

My entire shift (except for my Lt) play Halo when off-duty. The other guys are in their mid-20's, I'm 37. It's an absolute blast.

I play with another group and some of them are in their 40's. Never too old.

Besides, what chaps me off is that some of these little kids think they invented gaming, like it's something new. I got news man, if you're under 25 you're a 'Johny-come-lately'. Most of the older guys, myself included have been playing console games all of our lives. Now, a lot of us are writing them, producing them and, last I checked, BUYING most of them. If the older gamers stopped playing because we should "grow-up" or "get a life", consoling would die. Besides, (no ofense to the more mature kids out there but), most of these kids have no idea what having a life means.

Well, I know that I may be too young to be playing, or obviously too young to be posting, but I HAVE To post. Lol. I'm a 9 year old Halo 1-2 Player. I enjoy playing against my big bro and his friend, we always have good battles. I'm the most skilled with the sniper rifle, but I also enjoy the SMG. Anyways, If I ever got on Live, and I pwned a noob, and they said I cheated or modded, I would say simply this: You were just owned by A NINE YEAR OLD! And leave. They would probably be cussing and punching their TV So hard! Well, those are some interesting stories you got. Lol wtf too old to play the game and your 17? I bet that guy was like 23. xD
Well, I got no stories to tell obviously. I'm out.

hahaha thats quite good spelling, grammar for a 9 YEAR old pal..............not bad. I can't think of any 9 years olds who could put sentences together like that, or any of your previous posts for that matter. Been playing halo since you were 3 years then..........LOL

Whatever floats your boat i guess !

Replace Playing halo since you were 3 years then with Playing on computer since you were 3 years then. >.< I don't really feel like posting much right now but maybe later.

I don't attend school. It's summer vacation. I will go back to school in 1 month, and I am certainly hoping it will come out near october. If it comes out before October 6th, and we have an Xbox 360, I get halo 3 for mah birthday. That'de certainly be a happy day for me. I have also been a gaming maniac for a very long time, like since I was 5. I would play my brains out on the N64, and then as soon as Gamecube was out I was all over the smash bros series, and when Xbox came, and me and my big brother were told about the halo series by my big bros friend, Thats been my main focus on games. I have gained alot of skill since I started. I used to grab the most powerful weapon I could find and hide, but now, I actually grab stuff like SMG, plasma rifle, Shotgun, sometimes I play with the vehicles, and half the time I end up winning. Well, Bye for now. (I hope I don't get too off topic or post something stupid)

yeah bye...........but just before you go !

Im assuming your american, for the reason you used the term " summer vacation "...........only americans or people from that part of the world call it that. So how come a 9 year old is up at like 4 or 5 am.

ARGGGHHH -blam!- it, i aint bothered......................ive had enough of this post, bye.

Lots and lots of coffee, always used to work for me. :-)
I hate it when people yell that you're too old/young to play halo. No joke, I've actually played some pretty good 9 yr olds. Btw, I am actually not a 9 yr old, I just hate it when people try and put others down.
PS-First person to call me a hippy dies. lol

i played with a literal 4 year old before he kept following me around
and had this high pitched (more than mine) voice one of my friends started yelling
at him and he's like "you said a bad word shame on you" he was funny but annoying at the same time

LOL xD Thats funny. "You said a bad word shame on you!" He should realise it's a 17+ SHOOTER GAME! Heh, he must've thought when he shot people blasts of rainbow came out, not blood (TOTAL WTF). I really wonder why kids so young play, when all they are going to do is yell and be mad because they get their butts kicked. Meh, I wouldn't really mind getting my butt kicked on XBL Because I've gotton my butt kicked hundreds of times before. All I really do is say Meh. You Beat Me. And then another match starts. I don't really care about host and stuff like that, but whatever.

Thats funny. I'm 27 and I don't think that I'm too old.


Hmm. I didn't realise there were mature, in age terms, members here.

I suppose I should respect you more. When I say 'respect', I mean to acknowledge you and your views better. I never blatantly disrespect anyone -- I must ensure you all of that. The way I see it: The older you are, the wiser you become. So anybody older than me, potentially, could teach me a thing or two.

It's good to see maturer gamers here. I was beginning to wonder if the majority of you all were kids.

I remember a time in XBL's infancy during a game of Mechassault we discovered that we've partnered up with a 5 yr old. He was giggling as he defended the flag successfully throughout the entire game. His high praise of chocolate milk kept us laughing as we successfully stole the enemy flag on each run. Good times.

Almost reasonable because Mechassault is just robots blasting the hell out of eachother. Though if I was his parent I wouldn't let him use the headset.

I know 5-10 year olds that are ALOT more mature then alot of 16+ players on every online game, though Shadowrun has alot more mature players then this.

Two people play this profile. Me (14 years old), and my dad (50 something). We both play Halo but he prefers other game like Oblivion and Mechassault.
