best memories:

8 person LAN party... sidewinder... CTF... Me sniping on the ridge in the middle of the map.

my best opponent comes flying out of my base on a ghost with the flag (kids a halo god... got halo 3 years ago, has played it every day for 3 hours a day, beats it in legendary in his sleep) and i watch him through my scope, wait for it, and BLAM the ghost slows and stops, and his dead body, as well as our flag falls out, and eventually reset. this guy thinks i can't make the impossible shot again, so he does the exact same thing, and i shoot him again. (my teammates sucked, and kept lettin him get into the base) He tries it a total of 7 times, and all 7 (a bungie moment?) i blast him out of his ghost. so he tries something new... he and 2 buddies get into a 'hog, and end up getting our flag. as they are driving by my ridge, i sight them, and BLAM-BLAM-BLAM. the jeep slows, and all three of them and our flag fall out. needless to say we won that match.

one other one:

blood gultch, CTF, 3v3

all 3 of us have sniper rifles, and we decide we won't charge for their flag, and we would have some fun spawn camping. we each got on a different side of the base, and started spawn camping. (before the game, we made a pledge that no one could quite, no matter what) we just kept camping and camping and camping... when one of us ran out of ammo, the other two would keep them busy long enough for the first to get more. our opponents would spawn, and all 3 of us would shoot at the same time (it was a race as to who could shoot the fastest) when we finally quite toying with them, (we won that game too) we had racked up over 250 kills.

fun fun fun

sigh.....my tank was mowing across the fluffy snow of AOTCR, when i got out of the big cave. when it said "reach the transition to the 3rd chasm." the grape-colred dropship glowing in the light, dropped off the shiny elites, the bird-like jackals, and the cowardly grunts. after my tank evoured all the enemies, i calmy got out of the tank and found a jackal body. i, threw a plasma grenade on it, got back in the tank, and blew the jackal up, and with my tank, and later, i found the only jackal body in that area....(where the huge tower is.) halfway across the stage.


also with my freinds, we played 8 on 8. i was in the hills of Sidewinder. we where playing iron capture the flag, and my rockets where strapped around my back. i, was running like hell from 3 other spartans. the other, couldent find me. i had almost died, when, a tank saved me! i hopped on and hoped for the best. i looked around on the tank, and then a rocket came right into the tank, killing my freind. i hopped off and ran.the goal was about 120 meters from me. i ran. a rocket hit my back. luckily i had a over sheild. i took out my l;auncher, turned around, drained their sheilds, and trew grenades.it was no use. i only killed one. "go guys get him!" his freinds yelled (we where all in the same room.) i dashed like hell, my ammo was out. they both had one. my freind respwaned...right in front of a rocket! he died, the other rocket, i on ly got hit by the shockwave. then they threw 2 plasma grenades. they bth sticked on my back.
i would have lost...
but i got to the flag just in time! right, RIGHT, after it said "you-" i died. they both patted me on the back. too hard. this was just today.

I absolutely adore the memories of halo2!!
my most favorite out of all ov them however was this......4v4 CTF blood gulch....i was on the blue team. This is how it went, the match was EXTREMELY close, there were times when we all just got extremely tense because both teams had the flag and we were just blasting away. One memory was when I had the flag, and so did my friend (nightmare). I was on a warthog, behind my base, directing my teamates to get our flag back so we could score. I look at my team-mates screen and c that he has active camo and a RL. i was like excellent job, this game is ours for sure. he sees the guy wtih the flag hiding against the wall, hoping he was hidden. My friend aims carefully and fires. The wierd part is that as soon as my friends rocket makes contact with the flag holder, i instantly die by ANOTHER rocket carrier, from there on the match commences. The match goes on for hours, it still being the score of 4 and 4. Then the game winning point happens. My enemy (Cold), on the red team has the flag, and is on a ghost heading for his base. I just previously killed a Rocket carrier, and picked up the rocket. The man on the ghost was trailing behind me, aiming to kill me, i go behind a hill and duck, barely dodging the ghost. The hill was a good 50 feet from their base, and him being on a ghost, wasted no time in killing me to score and end it. I instantly whipped out my RL, and aimed extremely carefully. But i had to aim quick. I found out he was going behind his base, and aimed as far ahead as i could, praying it woud hit him. And miraculously it does. The Blue flag gets blasted up the hill behind da red base. I then get killed to a sniper shot in the head. The flag is still at red base, and all 4 reds are geting it. I grap a sniper rifle, go through the portal and shott 4 times, gettin 4 head shots gettin a killtacular. I grab the Camo and sneak my way into the red base, grab their flag, and take the ghost my enemy used. All 4 reds in the meantime were waiting for me. One had a rocket. I thought it out quickly, and RITE before the rocket hit me going up a hill, i jump out. At the same time i die, but the flag gets BLASTED (and i mean blasted) to our base. It had to be a good 60-80 feet in the air. I respawn, look up, and i c a big red flag coming down at me. Thankfully the flag lands RITe where i spawned and i score ending the game.
-those were amazing time, and i hope halo2 will bring even better memories. C u all on xbox live and hopefully we can make even more tense moments as this.

I never was interested in Halo, I played it once at the mall awhile ago I guess before it came out not sure. I didn't like it cause of the controls (two sticks, why?). It was the silent Cartographer level and I just hated driving the warthog. I imagined my character movements were like Robocop where he twisted his waist while moving in another direction.

Anyway I got my Xbox last year May 23rd 2003 for a HS graduation present. Anyway I got some games (not Halo) and had fun, but I had no FPS and I played my N64 FPS to fill it in.

Then in December I downloaded the PC's demo, it was ok, but the MP was fun flying Banshes in Blood Gulch. So I was interested. Once I visited my family for X-mas and we started a new tradition where everyone brings one pile. The women buy 1 for the women, and the guys buy 1 for the guys, I got a BestBuy Gift card.

I was the youngest at 19 (since I wasn't a kid I was in the adult pile), so most of the guy presents were like tools and stuff. When it was my turn to chose a gift I chose the biggest present which was, guess what? A case of beer! So I had to wait for the next guy to go and hope he chose to take the beer from me so I could chose another gift. I waited and one of my uncles got it. Then I just picked up my gift card I brought and later went to Best Buy and use the X-mas money I got and the Gift card to get a second controller, Medal of Honor and HALO!

That X-mas I enjoyed playing Halo with my nephew and we would of beat it if I didn't choose to wait so I could beat it myself. It was fun the first time after the pod crashed he fell off the bridge and got stuck so I told him to jump off. We went Special Ops on their arse it was great.

First After owning the Halo game since a month after Xbox release I had never beaten the game on Legendary by myself till much later. About one month ago I beat it finally and had every right to brag to my friends about my accomplishment.

Multiplayer Present time: I own my friends, no one I know can stop me from winning near every slayer game. They fear me *evil laugh*. Best memory as I recall was a 4v4 system link when I was sniping. Person came over a hill in a ghost, I shot the ghost immediately when it peered over the hill (front facing me) and I miraculously shot the person driving it on the tip of his head, instantly killing him. That was great.

Ahhhh, oh so many memories, just like everyone else.
I was a PS2 man myself, so I only knew of Halo and had heard that it was pretty good. My junior year in high school, 2002 I guess, I heard a few guys i knew talking about how they wanted to have a Halo LAN party because they never had. They knew i was pretty good at video games so they invited me over. They got it set up, three boxes, i think about eight people. God, it was glorious. I had never even played before, but i had played plenty of FPSs, so i got the hang of it pretty fast. I will never forget that day.

After that, we started having LAN parties all the time. My friend got a few guys to leave their boxes at his house so we set up the Halo Lair in his garage. That was great. We'd go and play LAN mp every day at lunch.

It was during these innumerable LAN parties that my greatest memories occured. One was being the first guy out of all of us to get a Killtacular. Sure, we had gotten Triple Kills a few times. But once, we were playing Pool of Death, which is Shotguns only and no shields on Prisoner, and i find this group of chumps on the bottom level. I kill one while i drop down. I kill another: Double Kill. I melee another after he falls and hurts himself: Triple Kill! I shoot one more while he tries to pick up the stealth camo: KILLTACULAR!!! Everyone was like, What the hell was that? while i laughed maniacally. After the game was over (I won) i basked in the killtacular glory for about three hours.

Yet one more LAN party memory was CTF Blood Gulch. I was on the red team. My friend seth had driven over to our base while i was the only one left on d. He comes dropping in and blasts me in the face with his shottie. We were playing sans Motion Tracker, so i had no idea he was coming. I'm like "OH -blam!-". While i wait to spawn i watch him trample my crumpled body as he grabs the flag and runs out the back. I spawn on the top of the base with my assault rifle out. Without even taking the time to switch to a pistol, i run off of the top of the base and directly on top of his hog right after he's gotten in. He had kind of wedged the hog onto the rock when he parked, so he couldnt get going immediately. I stood on his windshield and unloaded my assault rifel into his sorry face. He died. I returned the flag. All was well in the universe. I felt like i had temporarily stepped into an action movie. God it was nearly orgasmic.

My favorite memory playing Halo has got to be when I played won my first 16 player FFA game!

The overall experience of playing Halo has to be an overall general best memory, but the FFA win is a little more specific.

Another great memory was during the very end of the school year. We had been having pretty good-sized LAN parties for about six months, when we decided that we werent true Halo players until we had played with sixteen people. So we rounded up all the guys that we knew who played Halo, even guys we hadnt ever played with before, and told them that we were going to have a Halo barbeque. Everyone was assigned something to bring, and we ended up with about 17 guys there. God it was beautiful. We played a few warm up slayer matches while the coals got hot. Then we ate some great food and had a sweet croquet game. After that, we decided it was time to get down to business. We all got hunkered down, made sure to hit the bathroom before we started, and decided to play 8v8 ctf blood gulch to three captures. It took at least a couple hours to complete. That entire night was amazing.

We had another halo bbq at another guy's house during the next summer, after we had been playing for a year and a half or so. We were all pretty good, and we had about twelve guys there. We had already eaten and started up a 6v6 ctf match on sidewinder with three captures. That game was insane, it was so well balanced, it lasted for three hours. Near the end me and the guy i was sitting next to had to take pisses real bad, but we were tied 2-2, so we couldnt get up. Finally we won the match, i can't remember how, but me and the other guy sprinted out to our friend's deck and each pissed for a solid two minutes. Those were great times.

Me and my friend were on Two betrayals and we reached the part where the Flood attack u on legendary. My friend ran out of ammo as did I and we had to make due with wat we had left (basically or fists). As the flood were beating us to death, one of the surviving gold elites threw a plasma grenade into the mass of bodies. just before this my friend got killed and dropped all of his grenades. i ran off with the flood in hot persute. the grenade exploded, detonating all of the grenades, killing the Flood and the elite that threw the grenade, it was so cool!
