My best memory is finally finishing the game and watching the final cutsene, it was so sombre. After that, I was hooked on Halo. Even more after I saw the movie where the Chief jumps out of his ship, the E3 2004 demo and the screenshots and stories from the Beta test. Did anyone else have this problem:
When you're playing through The Maw, and you're in the Warthog and you come to the bit where Cortana says, "Chief, up ahead they're a gap in the trench. At top speed you should be able to clear it!!!" Well, I thought I had to get to that platform with the power cores (!), so I got stuck there for three weeks (no joke). Every time I would miss it and fall (I was supposed to fall, but I was too stupid to figure it out). So, anyway, I finally decided to take a punt, and, what do you know, I get to the Longsword.
Anyway, back to my favourite part. Who doesn't love that scene? Seeing Halo get blasted apart, and part of the ring go clean through another, and the final bit where the Chief says, "No. I think we're just getting started.", Then takes his helmet off, but we don't get to see it, and then the camera looks in on the galaxy and there are the last bits of mournful music...
Multiplayer moment:
When I got Halo on computer and played it over the net for the first time.
