November 15 2001 over at friends place playing Halo on Co-op all nite long .. Probably the most fun I ever had mostly cause I never expected it to be as good as it was looked to me really boring but wow ... Anyways I think it took us like 15 straight hours to be it but when we did we went and play some of the award winning MP!

Couple weeks later bought and game and an Xbox and had a huge LAN party at my place ...
ahh ... memories ...

My first ever Halo experience is from when it came out. It was summer time and I was at a friend's house. They were playing the level Keyes and really I didn't pay any attention to it because I didn't even know what Halo was. Winter of '03 my friend got an Xbox and Halo after playing it multiple times. I played with him a few times and I was addicted. I got an Xbox for Xmas of '03 and I've been playing ever since. Beat easy, heroic, and Legendary. I have 2 more levels on normal to go but I'm too addicted to multiplayer to play them. Can't wait for H2!

My First ever Halo Experience was at my Best Friends House. Being that neither of us had ever played the Xbox console before, we decided to go easy on ourselves and choose the "Easy" route. This would forever alter my life.

We started playing at 5:00 PM more or less. Since it was on the "Easy" difficulty it didnt take us too long to get through the first couple of missions. We were blown away by the depth of the story and the fact that you could only have 2 weapons at one time - we thought the game was going to be very realistic (That and we enjoyed the melee button).

Well anyways, at around 3:00 in the morning, on a rainy and somewhat eerie night, we got to the Guilty Spark 343 Level. Unbeknownst to us, We didnt even know anything but Covenant were in the game. So when we get to the sequence in the level, where the Master Chief enters the Containment Room for the flood, we started to feel a little creeped out. Why would Covenant try to lock it down?? Anyways, so as soon as we get done with that we start playing again.

Suddenly we hear the loud thuds (and yes loud, we had this on some mad Surround Sound) and these small things start piling into the room. We freak out! We empty entire clips of ammo trying to kill the small pods. Then the Combat Forms enter the room. We go absolutely nuts at this poit shooting anything that moves, even each other.

We kill one of the combat forms for the 1st time and destroy all the flood and start taking a breather. Flood have the nasty tendency to get back up even though they are dead, but we didnt know that. We see one get up and it kills my best friend and then me as I sit in shock. I yell natually, "IT GOT BACK UP! WHY WONT YOU DIE!!!!".

That was one of the scariest nights ever, and that single adrenaline rush hooked me on the game.

Im glad I finally got an Xbox a year. If Halo 2 can provide something like that for me, I will forever be in Bungie's debt.

I went into EB one day and i was a big xbox HATER, and I went to a booth and played some game called halo and thought it was a crap sack (Never played a fps before lol!).

Then 2 years later, i break down and buy it because all my friends had been talking about how it is the best game ever. i was still skeptical.

Pop it in, dont get out of my chair for 7 hours straight, when i finally stood up (couldn't hold it any longer, almost pissed all over myself) my @$$ felt like it was going to fall off. then went back and played it for another 3 or so hours. Then went to sleep and woke up startled and look down and my finger was moving like it was pulling a trigger over and over.lol

my first halo experince. It was beutiful and hell at hte same time. I was forced to make friends with a prep to play it because he was tthe only kid i knew with X Box. But when i did get to play it it was sheer bliss the killing of countless grunts jackels elites and hunters. Smaking a hunter to death nevr gets old =). In all it was worth making friends with the prep to play it.

I went to my Cousin's, him and my unlce had been talking about it for months, and i didnt have a clue what it was, they were so hooked on it by this point,they had their house networked so you can play system link in ANY room of the house (usually sitting room and cousins bedroom), this time we played system link in one room though, so imagine this, a halo (insert forbidden word here), his first experience of halo, is 4 PLAYER SYSTEM LINK BLOOD GULCH DEATHMATCH!!!! im still blown away by it today, i was hooked, so when ,my bro got an XBOX for Christmas the next month, i immediately went out and bought Halo, i sat up for hours straight playing it through on normal, probably the freakiest bit being when the body falls out of the door on 343GS, then the end, oh LORD THaT WAS GOOD! then i played through the entire game on legendary, on my own, then the ending LORD THaT WAS FAR MORE THAN GOOD! IT WAS SIMPLY *whispers* amazing... Ah johnson and the Elite... that was my most perfect Halo moment ever...

My first time was at a friends house playing the level Halo and after a very short period, a love for the warthog was born.

Well, it was on the boat of our neighbours. Usually, we go playing soccer after sailing matches, but this time I couldn't find him. He was inside the boat, laying on a bed playing some console game. " hey, would you like to play Halo with me?" he asked. " ehm, yeah, could give it a try" We played first the Silent Cartographer, it took a long time. Next day we played AotCR and TaR in his house, despite the fact that it was above 30 degrees centigrade outside. I was instantly addicted and lived more in their house than mines. With the price drop, I bought an Xbox myself for the price of 264 Euro's (Then almost equal to the dollar price, now a bit more expensive). That didn't meant I didn't visit my neigbours anymore, cause they had high speed internet and we soon discovered the glory of Xboxconnect _O_ Ow, just good memories about halo * a tear drops*

Mine goes back onto December 25th, 2001. I got my Xbox for Christmas, my parents picked it up when the Xbox first came out and helf on to it until Christmas. I read so much about this "Halo" and it got to the point where I just couldnt wait. Then the big day came, after I visited all my relatives, I went straight to my Xbox and played Halo. I sucked at first. I beat PoA then got stuck on Halo...Then I beat the game about 5 months later in May 2002. [I told you I sucked]. Now I kick some serious @$$ at it. The Flood scared the bajebus outta me, and surprised me because I thought I finished the game. Now all I can hope for is that H2 will blow my outta the water.

hmm, well i got my first xbox at christmas 2001, but it didnt work :-( so then two days after christmas i went to exchange my broken one, and got the last xbox in Best Buy. Then i had about $100 in circuit city gift cars, so i went there, then i went and looked for some games that interested me and got Project Gotham Racing, and then my dad told me he heard that there was this good game out for Xbox called Halo.(which i had never heard of) So then i bought PGR and Halo. But when i first played Halo, i played it on a small dark TV and was unimpressed, and almost returned the game, but then i got passed the 1st level, and finally saw how great the single player, multiplayer, graphics, and storlyine was, and i was hooked..
