My Halo 3/ODST Fileshare, come take a look! It's much better than my Reach fileshare. Oh and to let you know Devil Dog80 was my old gamertag.

If you love taking screenshots, come join Mythic Photographers!

My favorite band is Metallica

I was 7, it was also the first game I played for the original Xbox. It then became my favorite game ever.

No Signature Found, Please click here.

I was 5/6 when I first went on Halo : Combat Evolved, still have Halo 1, 2 and 3 to this day. Sold Halo Wars and ODST for obvious reasons.

I had to tell my brother where to go all the time haha.

"Betcha can't stick it."

I was ten years old at the time. Lived in Alabama and on a really hot summer day my friend had invited me over. We played the campaign night time sniper level. I can still remember the shock I had felt facing my first hunter pair on heroic. Friggin walking tanks!

Geez, lemme do a little math...

I must of been six, I remember when it first came out my parents rented it for themselves, they made me and my brother go to sleep before they played because the game was violent and I was only six, but a few months later one of my dads friends made a temporary trade with one of our other games, so then me and my brother played through the campaign together.

Good times.

i was like 10. i got to the second level and as soon as i walked out of the lifeboat i thought i could go anywhere.....unfortunately that was untrue but it was the best game i ever played. i loved the halo theme song you hear when your escaping the Pillar of Awsome....i mean Autumn lol.

Someones just wont learn many things.

I was 6.

I couldnt get out of the damn tutorial thing, I somehow didint realize to get to the door. I was jumping on the capsules and thought that this is freaking... stupid game. After a year I tried again and got past and to the next level. After that, it was easy to proceed. I still remember how I scared Flood on the level 6. Therefore, I have played the game over 20 times and my best time on plying the game trough was about 3,5 hours on Easy.

Die Hard Halo 1 Fan. Never gonna change.

I was 10 years old, im 20 now. This game has been a part of my life for exactly half of the duration. I played Marathon on my firend's old Macintosh when I was younger, and played ONI as well. Halo 1 in all its forms (Combat Evolved, Custom Edition, ect) is still my all time favorite game.

  • 09.14.2010 11:16 AM PDT

I was 6. In first grade when older kids brought it over and played it. we played it every day and I've owned every one sense (except Halo Wars and ODST)

"Amazingly, prone to intermittent fits of unexplained optimism. Lives alone and likes it so much he bought the company. Wouldn't mind being a little less clever and a little more handsome. Arranges words into painstakingly grammatically correct order for a living. Likes: Sunshine, TV, couch, cats. Dislikes: Rain, people, arranging words into painstakingly grammatically correct order. Wonders why he even bothers. Sometimes thinks about why he is the way he is; doesn't come up with any answers."

29. Young, innocent, 29. It's the reason I bought an Xbox. It's the reason my friends bought Xboxes. The first game I completed in a long, long time, and finishing on Legendary is one of my proudest videogame moments.

Hooking up two Xboxes and playing head to head for hours, just awesome. It inspired awe.

Halo 2 followed, and the multiplayer was a revelation. Not since Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast) had I been so immersed in another world, one populated by human-controlled avatars.

Halo 3 and Halo ODST were similarly purchased and played to death. And at some point I WILL go back and complete Halo Wars.

My Legendary Reach didn't arrive today, so off to Tesco to buy vanilla, couldn't miss out.

Bungie, <3.

I was 5 or 6 when I would watch my dad play Marathon on our mac at home. I like to think that Marathon was Halo waiting to be reborn on a console. ;)

I was 6 when I first started. Oddly enough, my parents didn't have a problem with it. I have played (And currently own.) every game in the series except Reach.

I was seven and played it at a friend's house. Before that, I had played games like Goldeneye 007, Super Mario 64, Pokemon, and a few unmemorable PS2 games. As soon as I played it, I knew it was great.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Around 10. The Flood terrified me back then.

I like pie.

I was in first grade, also at a friends house (I still don't own a copy but would love to), I remember that even the multiplayer was amazing, especially Sidewinder, I love that level. The campaign was great, even though I didn't really understand the storyline at the time I later picked it up, and I remember that I really sucked at driving, but had to do the last level on my own.

  • 09.19.2010 3:58 PM PDT

I was like 5 and was unbeatable in system link after a month of playing. I was terrible at driving so i had my dad drive the last level while i was the gunner!
