Man my first moments of Halo were the best moments I had EVER had with any game, PERIOD. I first rented the game before I got it, and I was sitting there eating Pizza Hut pizza while playing Halo. When I knew how awesome this game was, I dropped the bread stick onto the desk with the rest of the pizza and played until my eyes got sore. After I finally took a break, I forgot I had the pizza there! I fell asleep good that night....

Halo and Pizza, a perfect combo for a late night xbox.

*Raises up Soda Can* To HALO!

My best memory?
I was over at my (little did i know at the time) future husband's house, when he started a game on the X-Box, as i layed on the couch watching him. It immidiatly caught my attention that he was playing Halo, a game that i had heard so much about but i never played because none of my friends would really teach me or let me play it on my own they woul just plan on sticking me into multiplayer and kill me. But as i watched Him play a new game i watched the openeing sequence and i asked him questiosn like who's that purple Ai's name and he said Cortana. I just observed and found it really interesting so later that night when i got home, i looked up everything i could on Halo, reading the Cortana letters, charicter profiles and other info.
(At that time i was in a somewhat bad relationship with an ex)
I went to bed and i had a dream, a dream of Halo, but it also had certain thing, like i was Cortana, but rather then being a shipbord Ai i was a synthetic human, Like Melfina of outlaw star, I did have what looked like tattoos of data on various places of my body and in the retina of my eyes data scrolled down.
The dream was a mix of Halo, The Matrix 2 (the Zion part except with soldiers partying and me and um well ^_- ) and maybe it was also a vision of Halo 2 because lot of the dream had been on earth when the covenet invaded.
I followed Master Chief around, him protecting me and me doing things Ai's do but also feeling very strongly about this mysterious man in the green armor who had rescued me, and was devoted to the proctection of me and the humans.
Some drama happened and when he took off the helmit i had expected to see my ex but instead i saw the face of my now currant husband.
Im a person who believes theres truth in dreams, and i guess it was telling me is that this man was the right one, the one to be with.
He was also the one to get me into halo,to become a Haloic.
It was a beautiful dream because it played out kinda like a movie, i especially liked the Zion part( for those of you who saw the matrix 2 ...*sigh* love)
I dont know what you'd call this i guess it was a halo moment, it was my best anyway.

My favorite memory would have to be the first and only time I saw a multiplayer match end in a tie.
My friend Mark and I have truely brutal competitions to see who's better. One time in Hang'em High on a 25 kill slayer pro match, the score was tied 24-24 I was backing up the large ramp scanning the grounds with my pistol and he came barreling out of nowhere assualt rifle blazing. I fired a couple rounds into his face and whipped a grenade at him but it hit his feet and came back at me.
He didn't see the grenade and kept charging, when the grenade went off it killed us both and we were both credited for the kill. final score was 25 - 25. We were shocked.

My first Halo experience sucked....yes I said it, 'sucked'. Now before I go any further, and before you all start hating me, let me say I love Halo more than I would my own child. Anyway.... my sisters boyfriend was over one night, I was talking to him about games, and he brings up X-box, and of course, Halo. Now I had never heard of this game, but by him describing it to me, it sounded verrryyyy appealing. The next day, my sister worked all day, so he wasn't doing anything (LOL)...naturally, he brought over Halo. He popped it in, had me create my character (Mista *T*- Sage colored armor) and we began. After dying several times without knowing where I was getting shot from (he had the sniper rifle), I was pissed. I had not even shot at him and he was killing me countless times. I liked the game because I knew it had potential, but it was just soooo agrivating, as I'm sure you all understand.

So, my sister work and we were still playing, then they end up doing something, and I decide to try single player. And ooooooooh maaaann, that's when I LOVED Halo. I went through the game on easy, then normal, and started to on heroic when *gasp* he took his X-Box home (it had been a few weeks). Well, as of April 10th 2002 I've had my X-box and Halo. So I practiced and practiced, went through the game on legendary, and finally...I got my chance for vengance. Revenge is sweet, muahahahahaha. We played hang 'em high (his best level) 15 kills, human generic weapons to start with....100% shields and 100% health. yada yada yada yada, and so on and so forth, after 90 deaths in a row, he didn't want to play anymore, oh how strange! We ended up playing 6 games 1vs1 in various levels, and I let him choose the settings and everything..but in the end it was 15 to 0 every game, aaahhh vengance. It turns out I had gotten better without realizing it since I had no one to play multiplayer with, so I just played legendary and got good. I still thought he was gonna beat my ass but he sure didn't! haha!

That was my first Halo experience, which was very memorable, and in my opinion is the best video game memory I am going to have-considering I was then intrigued to explore the 'Halo world' in as much depth as I desired.

My most recent feat consists of taking on three people (not noobs but not "excellent") in a 25 kill match and not dying once.

wath is the MEGG????

It's the easter egg that was never meant to be found, it was a private gift from a guy to his girl, yet we found it anyway, and set it all over the internet. I think it was one of the LAST eggs found, here's the directions to get to it:

Legendary, POA.
Just when you exit the cryo-tube, run around to the right, and hop up to the canister with the yellow circle on it. Stand there for 10 seconds, then run through the shield generator toward the marine. Follow and watch him die, go over pipes normally, and find the ozzie marine- jump over him- don't follow.

Go to the bridge, get Keyes' gun, go out the hall and get ammo, go back, kill Keyes, then hide in the bridge entrance corridor. Wait about 10 seconds, and run for the open door behind where the invincible marines spawn from. If you make it through the door, they won't follow- go to the end of the hall, and look up. A bloody heart with an M in in. How sweet.

There is a different, longer way, but this is the way I use now when I want to show my friends that haven't seen the megg.

I would have to say my very best moment was playing the game for the first time.

Then from that moment on it created a chain of events for the next 3 years were we would get together every weekend and kill eachother for hours on end only stoping when we were about to die from starvation or not sleeping for the last 48 hours or so.

When I first started I was the "demolishions guy", since I was so horrible at the game my team mates used me as a suicide bomber. "Hey Ted turn around for a second" "umm ok"
Phewwww, tsssssssss, "Ted , now run into that room!" ......... "Boom"

You killed Mr.bubbles
You killed Kyle
You killed Peirce
You killed Hambone

My friends would stick a plasma to my face and make me frun into a crowd of guys heh, good times.

But I eventually moved from that to the "Crazy/Suicidle Flag Runner" I may not have killed many people but I wouldnt stop trying until I got the enemys flag. That was my goal , no reward, no women, no sleep, no food, until I got that flag. Even if it ment I would drive my trusty ol' Warthog threw the firey pits of hell strait into the heart of the Red base on Sidewinder and run over the entire opposing team and half of mine, ... so be it.

But lets skip ahead to the part where I get Halo , beat it on legendary 8 times by myself then never play campaign agian just multiplayer with my friends for 3 years and I becaome the Halo God for the entire area that I live in , and my friends who first taught me how to play the game.

Besides that one, one of my many , many , Halo experiences would be the time on blood gultch CTF ,no radar , instant respawn, 5 captures, 4v4, when the opposing team was on the verge of the 5th capture, I picked up a handy old sniper rifle took the warp from red base to catch up to the flag runner , run up the hill, head shot him, his buddy comes picks up the flag , i head shot , him , then another comes picks up the flag I head shot him , giveing me a triple kill, the flag is now only about 50 feet away from there base, they instantly respawn , i back behind the hill , reload , pop back up, now there are all four of them , only one of them touches the flag, the other three die by getting blasted in the face by the wrath of my mighty sniping skills, the 4rth guy trys to make a stand with one of those pistols, I have one bullet left in the chamber, i duck , head shot him re-load , i start to make a dash for the flag , as all four of them respawn , they jump off the base , lighting me up with there Machine guns , I then head shot all of them getting a Killtacular and a running roit , im out of ammo, so I just run strait for the flag. A split second later they all respawn also going for the flag , being so close i made a leap of faith , and pouncing on the flag returning it for my team, i then pull my Rocket launcher out of my pocket and charge them get a double kill and a suicide.

We won that game =)

Another would be the time would be on prisoner 12 player FFA , noscopes, so there were shotguns in the sniper towers. I got a shot gun and it was total chaos. I jumped down to the main floor were the fury was going and blasted the shi* out of just about everyone. The best part of that game besides the lagg and dieing, was I got 8 killtaculars that game. The most i have ever gotten in a game before.

Man , I have so many cool awsome experiences from this game , God bless your soul Bungie.

Another one would be the time me and my buddys had a 6 player FFA on Chill out , Snipers Only, All players have active cammofluage. That was pretty fun and challenging , you should try it =)

Then there is always the stuff me and my friends make up. Like naming the stuff in the game. Like we call the rocket launcher the "Victory Stick" or "Fire boom stick" , or the rock on blood gultch between red base and the portal exit for red base , we call it "Pride Rock"
Look at it and think "lion king" , you will know what im talking about heh.

Well I have so much more , but I wont bore yeh any longer, I cant even read this much.

Sooo , join the revolution! May Halo be with yah!

Peace

My friend, Seth, picked up an Xbox and Halo the day it dropped. Along with three extra controllers.

Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, and Halo. We ran through the game, and played 2v2 'til like .. 5AM. Seth, my two cousins, and I just couldn't put it down.

Now, after years of mooching off his Xbox, I've got my own, and I'm ready for Halo 2.

We did the same thing on the exact five year mark. It was great.

When I found out that I was really skilled with plasma grenades. I was playing some kid and he said I was to good so I had to only use plasma grenades next round. Well lets just say his plan backfired. Since then, I've made 44 kills by throwing plasma grenades on peoples heads.

my best memory was during multiplayer, it was 3 of my friends against me on blood gulch, all vehicles, 50 kills to win, slayer, they all stole the tanks and 1 was a shock trooper, and i was on foot most of the time, sniping and shooting with the assault rifle and plasma rilfe, etc, then at the end of the game, i completely creamed them, 50 - 23, it was good. They kept on challenging me more, but their best is still only 50 -35. I rock, then again, mabye they suck.

Best moment of Halo:


Watching my six year old son play the flood on legendary in co-op with me for the first time. The door started to break open, I moved away, he started running and the look on his face was priceless! Well it was about the same shocked and somewhat scared pissed look I gave when I played it for the first time.

My Halo moment was a long talk.
My cosin and I have been talking about Halo since it came out, nearly everytime we talk one of us makes mention of Halo. (3+yrs.)

Best moment, me and my brother were on the Maw (1st time). That last drive was crazy. It was like we could read each others mind. I went out first with the Hog to the Left he took the one at the end of the hall. We did what most would do and that was to progress through the board.
My brother behind me, I jumped the hog across the gap, he was directly behind me and he hit my hog, forcing me to land on that top portion of the tunnell. He, then comes out of the tunnell and I drop in after him. My jeep was'nt going to make the faulty jump. He knew and he was waiting for me. My hog was struggling to get traction. I saw him whip his warthog around and I hoped out of mine (while I had it side ways turning right) and onto the back of his. That was great and we tried so hard to recreate that but it was a moment that I would never forget.

Einstein
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

I remember when my cousin brought halo over to my house for the first time and i had never played a game like that so the controls were all wierd for me but i finally got the hand of it and still play it with my friend to this day.

Also I remember when we got gamespy working and my bro, friend, cousin and I would play in there with the 13' inch tv because that was the only place we had broadband.

Good times with Halo and Xbox!!!!

I remember a pretty good one on Halo (the level) on legendary and I was stuck on this one where you have to fight lots of covent and every body and I was on the stucre and everybody was dead and there were also two elites down on the ground then I thought I could hold them of in a building to right so I jumped of the building hoping I slip by the elites but they saw but they saw me and they stared dashing toward me fireing and I made it losing one bar. soon I heard two dropships coming in told my self "A crap this is gonna be hell!!" I turned the corner and found a little room I went into it then soon I found out that thier were a lot of covent on one side of the of the little building so I turned the corner and took out my assult riffle and I threw a granade and I lost two life bars. Then I thought it would be easyer to hold on both sides, so I went around the corner grab some atension to some of the covent by sootin some shots from assult riffle. Hoping that some of them woulding notic me about half of the group came over to me.
I stared to run back to the room in side the building losing a little bit of my energy shield. I got back inside with most of my energy shield gone. I went to my left hand side first with my pistol and then threw in granade blowing up most of the elites. I ran back into the room with one bar gone I went over my right hand side and I took my pistol and sniped some of the grunts then I threw my last frag granade the rest of the elites. Then looked over to my left there were still lot's of grunts so I went back over to right and I threw plasma granade the rest of the Jackels and Grunts and I had two bars left.I turned the corner with my pistol shooting lead every where and took them out with one bar remaining.

My best Memory of Halo was at Blood Gulch And it was 3 on 1 (Me being the 1) and won 50-18. It was awesome. What made it sweeter was the fact that the last two kills where two guys came up on the red base and didnt see me, stuck a plasma on one guys head and right as he turned around they both blew up. Pretty funny.

  • 07.27.2004 8:48 AM PDT

there was a group of guys from my school that played halo a lot and everyone said that they were the best around. my group of friends also played a lot of halo and we thought we were pretty good. we challenged them to 4v4 ctf bg to see who was the best team in school. of course, this would not be a good memory if my team lost. after we won, the other team was so upset that they stopped playing halo altogether and now play stuff like ghost recon and rainbow 6 3.

another time, more recently, my team wanted to have a challenge. we usually win ctf bg 3-0 with no problems at all, so we stacked the teams so we were at a disadvantage. it was 5v4, we were on the 4 man team and our team was not allowed to use pistols. (and no, the other team was not made up of lousy players. they were actually pretty decent) this is one of the closest game we've played in a long time. we ended up winning 3-0.

Let's see... one of my first great Halo moments. Ah! I got one, my first succesful miracal shot with the rocket launcher.

Alright, so here's what happens. It was the very first party my friends and I had had where we played Halo the entire time. Well, at that time, I was only okay at Halo. Not even half as good as I am now. So then, we were playing in sidewinder right. I was up by the rocketlauncher next to the small bridge. My partner was off tucked into a corner of a base somewhere while he went to go use the restroom. So the other two ppl decided to take advantage of this situation. So, the other team got in a warthog and came after me. Well, lets say, Billy Bob, is driving, and Silent Sam is in the gunner seat. Well, they come wheelin around from blue bases side of the field towards my location. Luckily for me, the rocket launcher had spawned so I quickly swipped it and began taking shots on them from my higher vantage point.

Well, after about three rockets successfully dodged, they decided to boogie out and return to blue base. So in an effort to affoid the huge ice lake in the middle there, they decided to go around near the outside wall. Well, I was kind of determined to kill them. Especially after using three rockets. So, I jumped down to ground level. Aimed far ahead of the warthog, timed it to the best of my knowledge, and fired.

I watch as the rocket goes out into the distance. I know it has to cross paths with them sooner or later, I was just hoping I timed it right. Silent Sam, turns to Billy Bob and says "You know, I gotta bad feeling about this" (about this time I look up at Billy Bob's screen cuz if it does hit, I wanna see it). So Silent Ssam hops out of the back of the warthog and trails it on foot.

Within a couple of seconds, I hear Silent Sam go "Oh MY GOD!" About a half a second later, on Billy Bob's screen, I see a blurr that is the rocket, go through the passenger side door and hit Billy Bob in the side. Silent Sam is back there freaking out cuz he just saw his partner get blown to bits seconds after he had jumped out of the warthog. Billy Bob's just sittin there going "oh my god" in disbelief. And I'm sittin there going "dodge that".

The entire time this happened my partner was in the restroom. Then again, if he wasnt... would it have happened at all. Who knows? Who cares?
