I got it along side the Xbox at launch. I had read the amazing reviews but still didn't know how much I would like it as Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were still the only really great console shooters of the past. Little did I know it would end up being one my favorite games of that entire generation and of all time.
I remember the lanning and hype craze basically started at school the very next day when pretty much everybody who had gotten an Xbox was already talking about how amazing Halo was an how they wanted to see who was best multiplayer wise. Basically anytime I wasn't at school or in sports, I was either split screening, playing Co-op or lanning for like a solid year straight or maybe more. Even later when my playing tailed off some I still lanned and played Co-op occasionally.
I remember when Halo 2 came out the first local lan we had basically after only a couple of games most everyone agreed that they wanted to play CE instead and so we did. Most of us never did end up liking H2 as much and so that actually kind of killed the lanning scene around here. Well that and the introduction of Live.
H2 would later grow on me some but I still prefer CE by a mile.
