BAH-WEEP-GRANA-WEEP-NINI-BONG?

I was 29 or 30, I believe. I heard all the talk and hype surrounding the game for a for years and was one of he last people on Earth to buy an Xbox, but it was the first game I bought for that console. I played through it once and didn't see what was so great.

Then during a period of unemployment I got bored and decided to play it again... then something just clicked and I became madly addicted. Took me a few days but I beat it on all difficulties, and just kept going back. It was a few months later until I got my wife to finally play and the same thing happened to her. We must have played that game daily for 3 years or so.

Today we play H3 MM daily and spend at least 15-20 hours a weekend playing. Its all we play.

Halo 3 owns!!

I was 12 or 13. I won an Xbox at our school's prize draw and it came with Halo and Midtown Madness. I sat up most of the night playing it.

I vividly remember how much i loved driving the warthog on the 2nd level, Halo.

I think I was 13 at the time.

I enjoy magma.

I was I believe ten, I had finally decided I wanted an Xbox and not a PS2 (best gaming related decision I've made). Got that bad boy, with Halo, Mechassault and Blinx. Plugged it up, played some Blinx, got bored, put in Halo. Three days did I spend in that basement. Three days did I play that game. For the first month of having that Xbox, all I played was Halo. Man, was that good. Good times, good times.

"The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainly in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and callas that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity."-Carlos Castaneda

Wowseres, 2000 was a long time ago. I was about six\ six 1/2. Good times. I'd go to a friends house for piano lessons and then we'd play halo the rest of the day! We once had a maxed LAN game when i was like 8. Good times, Good times.

LOL I just got it, I was busy playing Pokemon when CE came out (I'm 15, do teh math) and then I got the PS2 when I was ten or so, and I was glued to Star Wars Battlefront, finally when I turned 15 I got a 360, and it was three days ago I decided to pop by Bestbuy and see what all the hype was about. The game really presented the Flood well, better than any other, but HOLY -blam!-, I feel like -blam!- GOD with that pistol. Banshee, two clips ITS DOWN, Wraith, couple clips combined with a sticky or two, BAM it's down, Zealot, 2 clips or one very well aimed one, his head is rolling.

PISTOL, BEATS, EVERYTHING!

"Send me out... with a bang." - Sergeant Johnson's last words.

"I'm ready! How about you?" - Emiles last words.

The first M game I played I was four in 2001 and I heard guns and stuff from the TV so I went in our living room and checked it out my dad was playing Halo so I played a little bit the next week I was hooked on it so I got to have my own file and everything and I beat the game in like 3 hours so I tried legendary and beat it in like 3 months. I never kilt the grunts if they ran away and didn't shoot at me (I still don't) and I always snaked behind the hunters and gave them a melee from the back do kill them. On the last level on legendary it took me a while but I finnally beat it. Now we have everysingle halo and pre-ordered reach. My dad really isn't a fan of video games that much anymore unless it's sports so the halos are now mine.
