The feeling of getting an xbox and then getting halo: I had no idea what halo was and my dad brought it home with the new xbox, I tried to set up the xbox but couldn't (uterly pathetic) do it right so there was no sound, so I would play the game without sound, I remember my whole family was on a cleaning spree, and I snuck away, and played the song "my sacrafice" by creed, and I would play the level "keyes" Another specific moment is when I got the game I called up my cousin and we played co-op on assault on the control room, and I hadn't gotten that far in the game yet, so I was discovering it with him. We couldn't get past the first big outdoor scene in that area, and I remember we had so much fun playing it, and we played it easy and it took us forever to beat it, I just remember going to bed and us both planning how we are going to get through that first area "ok now you take the tank and I will get a warthog and go ahead..."

Oh yeah and one time a hot girl I knew say me playing it at a friends house and she was like "hey ur good" hell ya

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.


what is a megg and where can u get it?

Yes, Halo has been a part of my life now for 3 years. We've had our high points and our low points. I must say that the most memorable time I played Halo was when I... wait no it was... aaahhh crap!!! Halo is such a damn great game, that nothing sticks out in my mind, but a grunt crying its final tears as its stupid little head explodesfrom a well placed plasma grenade, or the Wort Wort Wort! of the elite that just saw me load a clip that would soon be lodged in his dead ass, or that sweet whine of the warthog wheels as it smears the blood of any various alien into the ground. Halo. Its super-glued into my xbox.

Some best moments.....

stuck 8 plasma grenades in a row in mutiplayer. YES, 8. Then one time I had one shot left in my pitol at hang em high. My opponent was ACROSS the map, on that tower, and I was over on the other side. He almost killed me....but I ducked back. I had to kill himquickly, his shield was down. With one round of ammo total for my pistol (no more clips left) I sprung out, jumped, and squeezed the trigger. The bullet flied straight and true...across the WHOLE level....and punctured a hole in his head. He collapsed to the ground, dead.

Story mode....I was fighting a hunter for the first time and I didn't know what to do. I had emptied a clip of MA5B rounds into him, nothing. I tried my pistol, and right as he charged he lifted his head up, and I caught a glance of his neck. I shot, and he crumpled to the ground.

First time I saw a elite with a sword....I FREAKED OUT.

Ledgendary ending....when the Elite hugs SGT. johnson and grabs his ass
(EWWW a -blam!- elite that's so sick)

My best memory is from my last LAN party (Ihaven't been playing very long.). A friend and I were playing KoTH, 2 vs. 4. It was so damn fun. We had on Crazy King on SideWinder and just kept killing the other players who were very good. I had just come out of the blue base teleporter and saw all four of the other players then shot with my sniper rifle and got them all through the head with one shot, that kicked ass.

lol also, try getting at least four people together and take simultaneous shots at the warthog with the rocket launcher. Great happiness will follow. The farthest ive gotten it in one shot is from the blue base to the bush to the left of it if your lookin at it with your back to the red base......damn, ive got blood gulches geography permanently mapped into my brain lol

my best memory would have to be when i was playing 4 player splitscreen multiplayer with some of my cousins. it was a good match up. i was the best so of course my teamate was the worst of the other 3. Anyways, the score flopped back and forth with no team getting more than a 3 kill lead. And then is was 49-49. I'd never thought i'd see the day that i would see that score in a game i was playing but it sure added to the suspense. And the best part of it is that my team won when i meleed in the back for the 50th kill. They didn't even see it coming. I ended up with 41 of my team's kills which goes to show how horrible my teammate was. But i can definitely say it was my best halo moment as far as multiplayer goes.

when I was still like 11 I was playing the maw for the first time and I was looking around the armory and we are like "wow cool" we hear the door open but nothing comes through. so we grab some ammo and we were deciding if we should grab all the rockets or now then TWACK!!! we high-tail it out of that room double time. after that we were like "you go first" "no, you go first"

I got alot more but I'm too lazy to type them =P

btw does anyone have a link to a site that has the old halo trailers, screens?

Hahahaha I remember that happening to me, I ran screaming out of the armory and told my brother, (who was outside the armory waiting) "Holy crap there's some crazy SH** GOIN ON IN THERE!!!" He was like WTF and he went in and died, so I was like uh....crap. I went in wit my rocket launcher and shot blindly....i got one. So i was like oh crap invisible flood and i took more rockets and shot the hell outta the room n' killed em all. To this day I always go to the back door first and WAIT for em to come in so i can kill em. I hate gettin jumped. It was really scary cuz I never played halo before, i was playin wit lights off at 3 in da morning.

My greatest memory of Halo...

Christmas, 2003. I just got my Xbox and Halo. The game starts. I stare in awe at merely the TITLE SCREEN, I finally have Halo, the glory of gaming is mine.

best halo moment had to be in my university house (or college for you guys in the U.S), eight of us playing team dm all vehicles on, no radar. i was going through a rough patch at the time, seeing the college counsellor, because i missed back home, and my girlfriend was 200 miles away at her college so i wasnt sure if we were going to stay together and i was feeling at a low point in my life. it was largely known that i was the best of all my family and friends back on my home turf, and thus had hung up my pad and retired from the game, due to there being no real challengers known to me. it had gone nigh on 3 months since i had put the halo disc in my xbox, partly due to my poor black box giving up the ghost through overuse. well coming into a 24-7 gaming house was a shock to the system. they all loved their halo and they were all very good at the game. all i had was my reputation of old which the guys never knew of. i sat and i watched for a couple of weeks and i saw that they were good, and i lost faith in my abilities. one housemate in particular, who is pretty bad ass at games in general was very proud of his "madskillz" at halo and paraded around the room like a peacock on heat after every match, flexing his fat arms which he used to call muscles, like shaun micheals of WWE fame. the housemates liked to play for fun, but he started to turn it into a real fight almost. then one fateful night, my pal from back home came to visit, and being quite good at halo himself suggested a match. i wasnt as quick to agree as i had been in my 'yard' and he was pushing it so much, that i didnt really have a choice. he insisted on team play, and seeing as we had slaughtered halo on legendary together, the first time we ever played the game, he made sure that we have the two weakest players on our team. the other housemates had been curious as to why i didnt want to play the game, thinking perhaps it was the newbie fear of being trashed, when really it was veterans pride that was stopping me. after all i had retired champion right? well he started shooting his mouth off at the rest of the housemates as to what a team we had formerly been and so the slanging match and the threats and the insults began. 8 players, 2 xboxs, lotsa cable and two different rooms. it was all set up and ready to go. well i can honestly say ive never had so much intense fun in my life. there was a team spirit like nothing i have ever experienced, a real sense of something to lose, as each life was precious and we could not under any circumstances let those blues win, especially as the house champion was all set to rub whatever foulness he could think up into our faces. it was a dramatic match with all of us pulling our weight and i honestly cant recall that much other than the sweat, the fear, the screams, the panic, the adrenaline spiking through my body, the roar of the red team and then the blue of the post game carnage report. my heart was thumping. i had a buzzing in my ears. my team were screaming, from the other room. we had won, i realised that much, but i had still to take in the score. to my surprise, shock and delight i had the highest number of kills of either team, but what really stood out was the fact that i had no assists, implying that every time i went for a target, i got them, and even more awesome to my mind: Not a single death. Deaths: 0. La Morte: NIL! i was the same masterchief, from beginging to end, not a new suit or resurection in sight. I stumbled into the next room, where i found all my team mates flexing their pecs at the blues, saying generic pumped up things, just to wind them up to the point of a physical fight. when asked for a rematch, they made their excuses and left for the chinese takeaway. i was back baby, I WAS BACK!!!.....

its amazing the effect that something like that can have on your self esteem. i started to get on better with my housemates, it calmed "that" housemate down, i stopped needing to see a counsellor, i told my girlfriend i loved her and was willing to do anything to make it work, have since got her into halo, (strip poker halo: for every kill, an item of clothing comes off, but that is another best halo moment!) she has pre ordered halo 2, and my life is good again. that about sums up my feelings for halo, and the time the game gave me back something in return.

thank you bungie!

I came to xbox with no next gen knowledge. Straight from playstation(one) i had never seen a ps2 in action, or let alone a game like halo. I was in the market to buy one of the new systems,and had narrowed it down to either gamecube or xbox. I wanted super smash bro's melee bad ( iloved the first one sooooo much), and was going out that evening to buy a cube.
Well about an hour before i was leaving, i saw a commercial that changed my life. It was halo....And i had never quite seen anything like it before. And mind you i was a ps1 player, so i nearly fainted. My mind was set, i was getting xbox. I got one, came home, and took a hour setting it up. I had never worked the av cable before, always an rf modulator. But after getting it done and turning it on. i was amazed.i Had the biggest grin ever at the opening cinematic! The best damb cg i ever seen!!! Then the game started...... And wow i realized that was no cg i just saw, it was in game grafics. After rooling on the floor and screaming like a lunitic i began to play. I didnt drop that controller or blink for 8 hours, when i realized it was 4 in the morning. Well figuring i had to go to school the next day, i went to sleep. Needless to say, i was dreaming of halo all day, and ran home to play it. That's my memory, and to think i might of just been slapping mario as pikachu instead... SHEW!! that was a close one.

Wow Zuka I wonder how that happened....

My best memory: It was almost the christmas after xbox just first came out, I went to comp usa to buy it. My VERY first time playing Halo, I was on the level Halo right near the part where you rendezvous with the first marines of that level, a dropship came down I think the game was on easy....I remember blasting grunts but I think the marines got elites. I was thinking these grunts are little ****hes, this game seems like a kids game with a big ass assault rifle in it...oh well, I still love the feel and graphics of it, so I'm gettin it. I don't know why, but I LOVED the look of the plasma grenade. I threw one right up the structure after eliminating all the grunts(I was just learning the controls and didn't know what L trigger did), and it just looked and felt so great to have a blue little glowing ball fly out of my hands. I don't know why, I was just incredibly amazed by it...the funny thing is, out of all my friends I am the best with grenades, how ironic(I think?) and it's funny to see them complain like WTF how are you so good with nades after I killed them w/a nade when they thought they was in a safe corner. Ahhh there is nothing like the feel of playing a damn good game for the first time, later to realize how different and used to it you feel compared to the first time....haha I almost remember once I got it for christmas I decided to play it on legendary for the first level(man I didn't know what I was gettin myself into) but it didn't matter cuz I couldn't get past the part in 1st level where you have to crouch(i didn't know how to and the in-game tutorial doesn't show you since it was on legendary. Then I remember finally beating PoA on legendary and thinking WOOO I am the best halo player ever!!(I was stubborn and thought only that it is impossible for ANYONE to beat the game on legendary)...damn good memories. So I bought the game, that and Shrek were my first games. Funny how I had the worst and the best, but little did I know that about a month or two later I would discover Halo was the most popular game on the xbox.
*tear* good memories.

I've had so many memories of LAN parties and the single player experiance.

My favorite memories though are not of Halo but of the series Red vs Blue. Based on Halo multiplayer it's the funniest series ever. Anyone who hasn't checked it out, should =D

My favorite moment was when I was playing a custom slayer game on rat race. My friend Ryan and I were both at 49 kills. My other friend mykel walks up and they get into a fire fight. Ryan didn't get his 50th kill then i killed mykel for the end of the game. It was the only time any of my friends would have beat me on mp.
