Played it on a demo xbox in stores whenever I could, for the "Silent Cartographer" mission was on Co-Op. Superb fun. Eventually escalated into getting the visual themes and such for XP, etc.

Yeah, loved the game.

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

I got a travelling Gypsey pregnant, failed all my exams and ran away to Morroco with a Turkish sailor to sell drugs out of a baby's pram.... actually It's much worse than that..... I .....have... never played Halo:CE (sobs)

The ignorant work for profit, the wise work for the benefit of the world.

I sat back and reflected. My mind desperately tried to comprehend how such awesome could get inside of it and not force it to explode.

I am responsible for dividing the Covenant. I shall end this war.

My dad was gonna play it himself but my baby sister took it, clawled over to me, gave me the box, and said, "Helo". If a baby little sister likes it, why doesn't everyone?

Went to a friends house, he had a bunch of other people over playing Halo... I watched some people play campaign, it looked awesome. I played some MP... I sucked but, man, it was fun. Tried some campaign later, and I was sold...

Bought an Xbox with Halo a couple of weeks later.

let's kick some ass and take some names... without takin' the names

man, i remember the day it came out. i had been waiting for a while. when i saw that e3 vid i instantly knew i would buy it. i was surprised when i found out how much better it turned out. anyway, i played on easy with my cousin that day. then we played on heroic a few days later, and we finished it on legendary. that took a while, but it seemed like the story got better each time we played. it was 20X greater than the release of halo 2

First map my friend played was Blood Gulch, then I played the next map and it was Hang 'em High. I played and fell in love as I got my first kill with the AR on that awesome map.

^^^

For me, I honestly hated it because I didn't know who bungie was or anything. I just plain hated the game. Now I am a fan of the Halo series. How did you react when you first heard of Halo? I'm posting this because sometimes before the latest sequel comes out, it's good to reflect back on the previous games in the series, and how you've changed your mind on the game and its series.

I loved bungie ever since they made the first Marathon game, and when I heard Halo was going to be a first person shooter (like Marathon, I wasn't really happy if it was a TPS or RTS) I just baught it, because I loved the marathon games, and now I LOVE halo :)

i didn't here about it until a year or two after it came out (dont have a xbox.. have friends who do. and i want one badly) but when i heard of it i said "oh yay... another shooter." i played it and found it boring.
Then a friend had us spend the night at his house for a party and all we played was Halo 1 and i got hooked. And then Halo 2 came out.
Halo 2... its the best game ever created

my reaction was comparable to the first time I played super mario world.

My own story goes like this:

When Halo: Combat Evolved was being demo'd at my local game store I had to have it. I had not experienced anything in gaming like it before, it was truly exilarating. Firstly, the whole Halo concept grabbed my imagination right there and then. Secondly, The Covenant,Cortana,The Chief,MJOLNIR battle armour,weapons, vehicles,structures and surroundings were all great characters in the game. Everything just worked. Previously I had been playing the Doom games (Ultimate,Master levels,Final and Doom64) alot because I enjoyed the atmosphere it created and of course, gunning down hoards of Demons. Halo is like that only more sophisticated. The fact that I played it and became totally engrossed until eventually realizing that eighteen hours had slipped away and that I had to get some sleep. I love being in the Halo universe! I still play Halo: Combat Evolved to this day and it still effin rocks!! Halo raised the bar!...I expect Halo 3 to do something similar.

I didn't care about it at all. I thought just another game to play, nothing special. Now that I have played both one and two I can't wait for three to come out. Now overall I think it is a great series, and can't wait to get my hands on the final chapter.

I was told about Halo by one of my mates when I was about 7, so we got into a childish argument about it. It went like this:

"Hey, you know their making a game btter than Ratchet and Clank?" (at that time I loved Ratchet and Clank with all my heart)
"no, Ratchet and Clank is better!"
"no, Halo is going to be much better!"
etc etc.

I was a very silly kid...

and now, another 7 years later, erlier this year one of my mates was talking about Halo, I knew the awesomness of it, but had never played it. I went to his house the next day, and asked if we could try it, of course me still being pretty imature, and having another person at his house at the same time...well it spawned some good comedy. 1st level and I was sold insantly.

"oi, see that shield?"
"what shield?"
"that shield there"
"yeh?"
"F the shield"
*me confused, as F being an abreviation of *cough* *
"what?"
"F the shield!"
"wha?"
"press F!"
"oh"
then as soon as I hit F a marine happens to walk infront of me.
"omg you idiot! you were meant to hit the shield! you just killed oe of your marines!"
"I did'nt mean to!"
"you wacked the poor guy in the back of the head!, I saw you!"

next argument:

"Use the pistol, it's better"
"no it's not! the machine gun is better!"
"nah, the assault rifles weak"
"no it's not!"
"look, you can kill someone almost instantly with the pistol"
*mate shoots a grunt*
"I don't care, the machine guns more fun"
"idiot..."

and another:
"Hey *name* shoot the marines!"
"no *name* do'nt!"
"go on, it's funny!"
"no *name*, no!"
of course I chose the funnier option.

theres probably more, but I think i've written enough.

I thought it was the most amazing game I had ever played. The production values, the cinematic style, the depth of atmosphere, were things I had never come across before.
