I would like to know how you where introduced to halo for the first time. I don't mean halo 2 or 3. I mean us veterans that were lucky enough to get into halo when it first came out in 2001, and have been playing ever since.

So please share your stories! :)

Can you believe it?

I first played it when my brother's friend brought it to my house. I loved it, so I got it a year later.

I've been working up in the oil and gas industry in Calgary, Canada as a Mech. Engineer for awhile now and things have gone from boom to bust pretty bad.

Recently switched to this company within the past year while the going was good (bad move in retrospect I guess). It's a large enough company that was growing but within the past couple months it's only been brought in about 1/3 of the projects that they were expecting and just on Fri lost a big one and now they are t-blam!- the fat. It didn't help that I'd been on overhead waiting (ie sitting on my thumb for 1-1/2 months).

I and they were pretty cool about it, the HR lady was even like "sometimes I escort people out but you seem cool, so leave when you're ready".

I had been planning on flying home on Thurs for a 2 week Xmas vacation anyways so the timing isn't awful, just worried about the new year. -blam!-.

Think I'll drink this day off and see what tomorrow brings.

I went to a friends house, he was playing Halo CE. I tried it out and loved it, the next day I went to the store bought my xbox that came with Halo CE. I have playing Halo ever since then.

Never give up, never surrender!

I was introduced to Halo back in 2004.i had just got an xbox for my birthday.Two games came with the console but i didn't pay much attention to them.A few weeks later i decided to give them a chance.I took out this game called Halo and the second i started playing it i just fell in love with it.My uncle would come over every weekend and play co-op with me.This is how it all began for me and continues to this day.

I first got into Halo when I was over at a buddy's house, he was playing it and at the time I didn't think much of it, but within about a few minutes of playing it I was addicted, and had to buy it for myself.

Me gusta

Back in 2002 my brother came home from a hockey practice with Halo CE and started playing and at first I never liked video games but when my brother showed me Halo I loved it. Me and my brother continued to play it until we beat the game.

I got it for Christmas with an X-Box one winter, at my grandparents' house. 2003 I believe.

There was a demo? How do I not remember that? Wait, a playable demo or a demo other play and you have to watch at E3 or something.

I was first introduced when I got a Xbox and Halo.

From Cyro to Meta

my friends sister's boyfirend, had an xbox, and i started to play it with him and loved it so much, i bugged my parents so much that we finally got it.

  • 12.20.2008 10:49 AM PDT

I went to my uncle's house and played his new Xbox. He got it for Christmas the year of launch, and I had the chance to play it some time in May.

I think I skipped the first cutscene, and I wasn't doing too badly for some reason. I got to the second level, and got stuck at the part where you're supposed to kill all the aliens that were coming off the dropships. For some reason it was too hard, and the hour and a half I had to play it ran out, and we had to go.

I never got to play it again until the next year, as for my confirmation in April he bought me the Xbox Adrenaline pack, which came with Halo and Amped. I still have the poster that was on top of the box.

There were 2 xbox-consoles ("What are those??") in the main hall of the cinema, both with a Halo-demo: the beginning of 'The Silent Cartographer'. Before the movie we decided to give it a try. The first half of the movie I could bearly keep my attention at the movie. In the break we played again and decided to stay at the xbox's, instead of watching the end of the movie. It was worth it. That was about 7 years ago and I still play Halo to this very day.

My best friend. The first level I ever played, oddly enough, was "Halo" and I haven't stopped playing since. I fell in love that day (with Halo, not my friend) lol.

  • 12.22.2008 3:18 PM PDT

i got Halo with my xbox the Christmas after the Xbox release

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I was at a K mart and I bought the game.

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

I played Halo 2 at my aunts three years ago. I told my dad about it and he then bought Halo PC the following christmas. I bought an xbox on Ebay the following summer, that came with Halo CE and Halo 2 (re-united at last) although the Halo CE disk was replaced with Combat Task Force 121... I got an actual copy the following christmas. I played Halo 2 and CE with friends for 3 years, before getting Halo 3 and an Xbox 360. Halo 3 arrived early October, but the Xbox 360 arrived late November. I got LIVE a week later and joined Bungie.net that Dec 1.

I had 3 Halo 3 Beta Invites, 2 Halo: Reach Beta Invites

My friend got an xbox for christmas in 2003. I came over and played it. I hated it at first because it was really confusing, and i never played shooters on consoles before, but then i played it couple more times and loved it!

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Heard about it from a friend, and asked for it for Christmas of 04, I believe. The rest is history.

  • 12.22.2008 11:16 PM PDT

I'm so over all of this.

To keep it short .. my brother bought the game a week after it came out, not knowing what it was, I gave it a try, and have not walked away from it since.
