Is anyone there? I was planning on letting someone else posting their best memory, but noone has posted yet. So, I'll start.

Single Player: Finally accomplishing the steps to find the megg and getting the prize of seeing it for myself. Taking the screenshot of it so I could show my friends I was the first of my buddies to find it. See, my friends and I decided to have a race to see who could find it first after the news came out it had been found. Laughing in their faces because I found it first. Good times, good times, huh?

Multiplayer: Blood Gulch. Team Slayer. 50 kill limit. 16 player.

My friends and I decided to have a tournament to see who was the best team. See, whenever we played team games on halo, we always picked the same 8 person teams. We were always playing for fun, never keeping track of the score. Then Matt had an idea to hold the match to see who's team was better at slayer.

Near the end of the game:

It was 49-49, and I was sniping, trying to get the last kill to win the game. Two people from the other team decided to sneak up on me while everyone else on their team hid inside their base. They both had shotguns out. They were using the crouch-slow walk to keep off of my motion tracker. When I wasn't expecting it, they both chucked plasma grenades on my back. I turned around, switched to my shotgun, and shot one while the other one shot me. It turned out that I shot first and got the kill that ended the game. So I was dead, flying through the air boosted by two grenades, but I got the kill. Really, really good memory.

First: Mine was beating 343 Guilty Spark, The Libary, Two Betrayals, and The Maw with my friend in co-op. We didnt die and have to restart ONCE!!! Ha ha, man that was fun...

Second: Multiplayer, Sidewinder, Scorpion in the middle of the field, i was in a ghost, i ramped off the Scorpion, my fiend tried to shoot me with a rocket launcher. I did the Matrix on him, he missed and the i got out, into the scorpion and BLEW HIM UP!! lol

Third: Fireworks, in any muliplayer map (best with one that has a high celing or none at all) throw one plasma at one spot, then another right on top of it. one fires, the second one goes up, BOOM! it explodes in midair, Fireworks.

Fourth: Seeing the last cut scene, when you blow up Halo. Ahhhhhhh

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

The first time I ever played Halo. It was on Easy. I hid from Elites. But now the Elites hide from me. *evil laughter*

Can't anyone actually think of a SPECIFIC experience that happened to them? Like an experience that EVERYONE hasn't had?

I know alot of people have seen the megg, but did they get the glory of rubbing it in their friends faces really hard?

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

My best memory of Halo? It wasn't exactly the game we see today, but when I first saw the E3 2000 trailer years ago, I was completely flabberghasted. It was the best trailer I had ever seen! The sound of it was incredible... Everything just looked so damn cool! And that's what introduced me to the Halo world.... that 10 minute vid. I waited a long time for the game after I saw that...


..... Wow... it still amazes me. In some ways, there's parts of the trailer that I actually like better than the game... Some of the sounds, the creatures, the Shadow, and the slight differences in the Banshees are the ones I can think of right now.

And you gotta love it when the dying marine says, "Hey! Stooges!" and then blows them all to hell!

Shai Hulud, you stole my memory. I downloaded every video I could find for Halo, and saved every pre-M$ halo screenshot and burned it all onto a cd-r so that way, when all the links eventually died and the movies were nowhere to be found, i could still look back and see what Halo used to be and enjoy (i still like halo, but i enjoyed how different old halo was compared to every other fPS).

[rant]
I agree with you, there were a lot of things I liked better about Halo "back then" more than I do now. And again, for one, the banshee seemed so much more intimidating as it howled and screamed through the air like an eagle searching for something to kill,as opposed to the way it meanders drunkingly thorugh the air now with a little whine, sounding more like a breeze than a banshee. [snipped for anoyingness][/rant]

I wish I could remember what it was like the first time I saw the Macworld trailer. But I can take a pretty good guess. I remember setting my desktops to Halo screenshots. My favorite was this one and this one. Whoa! The environment reminded me of Black and White meets Sci-fi shooter.

It was my only me and the X-box! And some friend maybe.

my first memory was when i first moved into my new neighborhood (im 14). A couple of kids my age came over to say hi. We got to know each other a little bit. Then one kid asked if i would play halo with him. What he didn't know was that I had been playing halo 4 hours a day for the past year of my life. We started a slayer pro on battle creek, with just me and 3 other players. My first kill took place three seconds after it had started. I whipped out my pistol and gave three headshots. "But... How... Huh?" was his reply. I looked at him and laughed. To this day I can still take on the entire neighborhood, 11 to 1.

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

3 years ago, sitting in my uncles apt. prolly eleven at night. he says to me " sit down right there, pointing to the couch, which faced a 50 something inch plasma tv. He says, hold on to something, i was like ok. He hit the lights, and they went off, and the xbox came on with this game title i had never heard of once before. HALO. My first expierience was being handed the controller, i had a fresh papa johns pizza next to me and nothing but time ahead of me. Once i started playing and still pretty much every time i sit down to play sp, or mp with friends the adrenaline starts flowing and i get goosebumps. I sat in awe of the game for the next two days. Still to this day i remember that moment, it did change my life and my relationship with my uncle, we spent two years playing that game every weekend. Sadly he passed away at thirty and im still in awe of the gameand thats the first time i ever played halo. And i will never forget it.

In multiplayer my little brother, my best friend and I were playing slayer in Blood Gulch. The score was 9 being my brother, 10 being my freind and 14 being me. I had to make this last pointand had to make it humiliating.I hid in the hill behind the red base and saw my frind at the red base. Right when I was about to shoot him he glanced over at my screen and saw I was about to kill him so he runs thru the portal.I know were the red portal puts you so I looked in that direction and saww him. He was running to the blue base and I shoot him in the head.

Hmmm, I think it's kind of cool that in the 7th year of the public's knowledge about Halo, the trailer for Halo 3 comes out...

Best memories of halo...where to start?

Well, being the first and actually only one of my halo friends to beat legendary.

Late nights 'til 5 in the morning playing multplayer. (16 man ctf was insanely difficult, took about 3 hour to finally get a score of 5 to 4.

Finally, 50 man tournament at a movie theatre, 8 man FFA. (the best part were doing it again, but the prize is a free copy of halo2 when it comes out)

It sounds like everyone probably has close to the same expeirences. Good luck with halo and H2.

I still say my story on Two Betrayals:

Out of ammo, go on a blind rush, the Wraith is about to annihilate you, when a plasma mortar comes out of the sky and destroys it, as an elite screams in the distance. That one was classic =p

Best memory was in a multiplayer CTF 4 on 5 match. i was on the short-handed side to even it out cause im better than all of my friends. but anyway it was in Blood Gulch. it was the first LAN party we have had in quite awhile so my teammates were kind of rusty so that evened it out. the max score was 3 but since both sides were so even that match took us 3 and half hours to finally finish. my team won by 1 point but that was probably the best match i have ever played. there were some really suspenseful moments in that game also. i wish every game was like that one.
