I think my best moment was when we played 4 players Slayer Pro on Derelict and the score was 19, 23, 23, 22 ( I was the one with 22 points) and I got my first triple kill and I won that round. And I won all the other rounds that day. That was awesome.

I got my XBox on launch day. I remember that I really could not afford the $300 (being a poor college student) but I pre-ordered anyway. I was thinking that it may run out of stock and pull high profits on EBay like the PS2 did the previous holiday season. Obviously Microsoft was not as stupid as Sony.

I went to GameStop to pick up my XBox and decided to play the demo machine to pick out a game to buy with it. I had never really liked first person shooters but I tried Halo. Ten seconds later, as I was scrambling across the first bridge running from the strafing Banshees and hiding among the trees from the so intelligent its scary Elites, I felt this would be a realistic crash course in guerilla warefare and I knew this was the greatest game of all time. Ten minutes later I put down the demo controller and put down $350 towards the best system and best game I had ever purchased. That moment single handedly changed how I think about and what I expect from console games. If ever a title could be called revolutionary.

My next memory was finally beating Legendary with my best friend on coop. Talk about accomplishment.

And finally playing 3 on 3 with 2 TV's, each team only able to look at their own screen. I ran about a quarter mile across the ice of Sidewinder behind a running opposing team-member, knowing he may spot me at any second, finally catching up with him and clinching the game with a well placed melee swipe. He held his fury to praise me for the move : P

Best memories? Just about every Halo night. I imagine I logged a few hundred hours into multiplayer over the years, and with good reason. Sure computer shooters are great and all, but there's something about getting together to system link and have a few beers.

The game had universal appeal, almost anyone could get into it, not just all the hotshots with fancy computers and high speed internet connections. Forget LAN parties, it was all about carrying over an xbox controller, and maybe a tv or system every once in a while. It was all about CTF in Blood Gulch, with rules I can recite right now. It was all about flipping out because the same guy every week who is way too good at sniping just killed you again. Those super close flag captures, epic plays out in the map that got everyone flipping excited and itching for a cigarette break to talk about the game they just played.

Thank you Bungie for my best gaming experience ever, because as superior as Halo 2 is, it will never have the same impact that the first game did over the past three years.

oh... so many fond halo memories...

ok, there was this one time... Me vs. 3 of my friends. pretty good friends, too. Ok, so me Vs. Friend 1-Friend 2-Friend 3. Hang em high. Team Slayer. I got rocket launcher, and shotgun. I quickly rose to top of chart. I then see them all in this one house. Too good to be true. They were standing near the shotgun... Apparrently waiting for me to get extra ammo. One had active camo. On was hiding in corner, the other in other corner. AMMO CHECK! Shotgun...no ammo. Rockets...o goody, one left. The game ended, 52(me) to 45(them)

KILL THE RED!!!!!
Thanks for whoever made RVB!!!
Go Caboose!!!
Well my best memory is, it was a glitch in the game Silent Cartographer and the Wartho flipped in that building and a marine fell out. He didnt get back on so i ran over him. he didnt die so i pumped 300 bullets of led in his head and he lived. Then i stuck all my grenades on him and he didnt move. then 5 seconds later his body went everywhere. That was soooo funny

For me it was killing everything in the last bit of "Two Betrayals" for the first time. For ages I would just pick off the tanks and some other stuff then peg into the banshee and fly off.

Although finishing "The Maw" in heroic with 1:30 left on the clock and realising I was good enough to do it in legendry was a nice feeling.

Despite Halo 2, I don't think Halo (1) will gather that much dust. The new levels are just too short by comparison. I can remember spending hour after hour on "The Library" and some off the new levels are over in less than 30 minutes!

Discipline is my Sword,
Faith is my Shield,
Do not leap blindly into uncertainty,
And you may live to reap the rewards.

"The Important Thing Is To Never Stop Questioning,"

First: would have to be killing a golden Elite carrying a sword with a mele attack. I wass backing up spraying him with a rain of MA5B bullets when i ran out he was so close i just started swinging, hit him twice and he went down before he could swing the sword and kill me in one hit, i have personally never met neone else to do it so.......
Second: would definately have to be beating every level in the game on all four levels of dificulty(Library on Legendary Being the Hardest) damn it took me awhile but doin it bymyself and not on coop just felt damn good.lol
Later

if you beat every level, legendary, in under 2 hours, you can unlock items such as the flamethrower, and other cool weapons, plus a better ending

My best moment and the moment I realized I was a sexy beast at Halo. Would have to be me playing against my bro and his two friends on Hang 'em High. Chris (My bro) and TIm were on assault and Austin was the sniper. Not only was I able to become an expert at Hang em High but I was able to kill Chris and Tim with my shotgun then turn around and smoke Austin in the face with my own sniper rifle. We went to 25 and I did end up losing but I knew that I could wax them forever after. But in that contest to 25 the final score was 25 to 23. I lost by two -blam!- kills and I had both Chris and TIm strapped with a plasma when they killed me for their last kill. I lost but they all knew I had won.

First: Playing system link on sidewinder with my noob friends.... sniper rifle in one hand, pistol in the other.... on top of the secret cliff thingy sniping them as they run across the ice and then hearing "WTF......WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!!" from the other room

Second: First time you realize that it is easier to kill a hunter with a melee rather than shooting at him with a machine gun for 5 min.

Even though Halo 2 is out and *ONLINE* i still play alot of Classic Halo, theres just something about it that Halo 2 doesnt have.

My memory of Halo was beating on Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Legendary.
The playing Co-Op with my friend. we were playing LEgendary on The Maw and we were at the point when you kill the hunters and go into that "cafetaria" type thing. Me and my friend came up with an idea called the "Human erm.. Spartan II Grenade" in whcich my friends or I made a mad dash into the room while the other covered you with Plasmas.
Then later after mastering Halo in my neighborhood my friend moved away. when i got tosee his new house (he didnt move far) i got introduced to XBC. I myself dont have it but everyweekend i'd go overthere and play it all night.

I cant say the same for Halo 2...

the other memories I have was playing XBC with my friend (same one) and while we were playing the 4 guys from texas showed up. then 2 others (they were friends i guess) and we had all even teams then at the last minute the other 2 guys switched to the texas guys.. we were playing BG CTF. they never scored once...iwould stay at their base and hide and just when they got our flag drove their warthog back to their base and ran into the complex i would back smack them , take THEIR flag get in the warthog they took and score while my friends sniped them. OR i would go behind their base ( they had the base with the Hill behind them. i had the tank up their, and would snipe them while standing on the tank using the rock that is up there for cover. they never found me or my friend as we marched to victory... it was 5 flags to win after two scores for us they left... w3 pwn3d 7h0ze n00b13z

my other is being bored on end then decing to put in all the Rush CD's I had in a 6 disk changer and playing "assault on the conrol Room" (still my favourite level)

Also me and my friends made a Tricks video with Halo tricks "off the map" in the wall etc. and tried to send it to X-PLay.... it never aired though :(

Man, I remember when I first played Halo. I didn't own an X-box and I fell madly in love with the game. Any time someone mentioned even slightly that they owned Halo, I begged them to play it. Now that I have my own I enjoy playing both Halo and Halo 2, the flood, the covanant, the levels, the weapons, the vehicles, and all the glory with a good multiplayer kill. I'm not too good at mulitplayer, but I practice against the computer often one day I shall be as good as the next person and be able to say "Yeah, that was me. How'd you like that?"

My best memory was the night me and two of my friends invented Warthog Wars. Let me explain how it works. This is a game for 2 players. Start a multiplayer Slayer match on the Blood Gulch level. Each person gets in a warthog, no weapons of any kind are allowed to be used(but can be picked up). The point of the game is to ram the other warthog knock the driver out and run his ass over before he can get back in. In the case of a double knock out, it is a fist fight to the death(this is where picking up the bigger weapons can come in handy). This is alot harder than is sounds and, after playing this for several years for many hours on end, has yet to get old. Many crazy wrecks and events have ensued playing this game. We also modified the game to involve a 3rd person. This version, we called Run Rabbit Run. Start the game with the same options as Warthog Wars, but in this game instead of trying the kill each other, the two warthog drivers are trying to kill the guy who is on foot(the rabbit) trying to make it from one base to the other in one piece. The rabbit is allowed to use only the 8 grenades(4 plasma, 4 frag) he started with. We keep our own scoring: If the rabbit makes it, he earns 3 pts and the chance to run again. If he is run down, the driver of the warthog that kills him gets 1pt and then becomes the rabbit. We play first one to 15pts wins. This game could also be played with 2 rabbits.

I've always been curious if any one else out there has invented games like this .

But if i had to pin down one single event, it had to be what we now call "The Ultimate -blam!- Move" because if you pull off this once in a lifetime move, you just undeniably made the other person your -blam!-. My friend and I were playing Warthog wars. I knocked him out and while trying to run him over, I hit and ramped his warthog. Mine started to do a back flip and kicked me out straight up in the air. My upside down warthog then lands on and squishes my fleeing friend, and I landed and stood quite triumphantly on the under carriage my warthog with his dead corpse underneath. Despite the freak accidental nature of this event, it all happend quite smoothly and looked intentional. This happened over a year ago and we have yet to reproduce anything close to it.

Actully, Me and my friend play that game you call "Warthog Wars". Its really fun. Some other games are what i like to call "Boxing Match". Pretty straight forward there. You both get a plasma pistol so you actully punch your opponent rather than hit him with your gun. Another is "Grenade Wars". We usually play this on System Link. You get the smallest Level possible(We usually use Wizard) and all you do is chuck grenades around everywhere, and bombard the place. But you are allowed to hit people in the back of the head. The funnest part of that game is just sticking people.

Now my Memories

Funniest Memories:

It was Blood Glutch, Capture The Flag. Me and 3 other friends were playing on System Link, 2 on 2. I was gaurding our flag from one of the best players I know.(He has amazing aim) I was inside of the base and he started to drive the Warthog in. He wasnt suspecting me too be waiting there, and i didnt know he was coming either. I turned around and there he was trying to drive the Warthog around the little corner to get inside the middle of the base. He turns his head, looks at me.....i throw a grenade at his face. It was the funniest thing, from my point of view.

Battle Creek, Team Slayer. System Link again, 2 on 2. I was chasing my friend around the base and he tryed to hide behind the corner hoping i wouldnt notice him, and run right past him and he would hit me in the back for the instant kill. I had the good eye, i saw gun sticking out from the other side of the wall. I threw a plasma grenade at his gun. He just ran, he knew there was nothing to do. But it just looked so funny because he looked like a Kamikaze. It problaly doesnt sound to funny when you are listening, nuit it was when i was watching.

Most Memoriable Moment:

Beating the whole game on every difficulty by myself (including Legendary)
