When playing a LAN game with 8 players at a friend's house, we took a little break from the games to get something to eat. I stayed upstairs with a few others (about 3) and told them I'd show them something on 'Guilty Spark 343' (the level) that would blow their minds.
I started up one of the XBOXs, the one I was using belonged to a 15-year-old (I'm 16) guy who only lived down the road from where we were now. We usually use his XBOX for LAN games because his XBOX stuff is so close. I went on one profile, he hadn't completed the game! Not only that, but he hadn't even got upto AotCR in Normal! I looked at the other profiles and they were further behind than that!
You're probably thinking "He probably only just got the game", but from that point, he has had it for 2 months (I went with him to buy the XBOX and Halo)! Also, Halo was his only game!
When he came back in the room, we started up a little conversation about 'The Flood Levels' (Guilty Spark 343, Two Betrayals, Keyes and The Maw).
We didn't let anything slip mind you, we never told him what The Flood was, just said the levels were hard. He didn't have a clue about what we was talking about, 2 weeks later he did when he finally completed the game.
