Subject: How Old Were You When You First Experienced Halo?

I think I was 11 or 12, ha I used to suck though!

I was 19 when Halo came out. I was stationed at Ft. Knox and my roommate bought an Xbox. I was strictly a Playstation and PC man myself and had nothing but disdain for the idea of a console-based FPS. I told him it was a stupid decision.

But once I started playing the campaign, I was hooked. I bought an Xbox myself and so did everyone else in my unit. There were 16-player LAN parties going on in our barracks almost 24/7.

With all the newfangled matchmaking options on Xbox Live for all the newer Halo games... nothing beats the original in a LAN party.

I miss those days...

when life gives you lemons.. shut up and order pizza

I don't remember my age(I was in 3rd or 4th grade), but if I remember right, it was the cave-like-level with a banshee, I think it was in Halo2...

I was 7 or 8 years old. For some reason I remember playing on Blood Gulch and I was amazed by the game physics and how I managed to make a Warthog flip with a rocket shot. Good times....

I was 7 or 8 and it was the first day halo came out i started playing long ass time only shooter i really like

  • 10.08.2010 6:48 AM PDT

omg lol i started playing at like 6 or 7 maybe and i remember me and my brother always doing that one snow level in campaign on legendary trying to beat it haha that was our favorite because we would try and gather all the marines we could and get in the tank with rockets and sniper. Then if we did multiplayer he would always beat me never went easy id cry somtimes lol. But the good thing now is going against him so much and playing live whenever me and him do 1v1 i always win by ALOT lol he gets so angry :). Halo 2 system link with me and 10 of my other buddies doing SWAT on every map and then doing my Shotty king gametype on Midship was prob the best thing ever though. GOOOOOD times.

I was about 11 or 12. I had just gotten my xbox and i had only played a few games. It was halloween and i rented halo along with mechasault. I remember being messmerized by the beautifully rendered graphics and gameplay, I probably played it for at least 6 hours every day I had the rental. Halo: Combat Evolved was the game that got me into first person shooters, and still, to this day, I still play halo. It will be forever my most favorite game and the memories i had with it i will cherish forever. Thank you Bunige, for making one of the best games of all time.

I was 5 years old. My stepdad had an xbox in his closet so i asked to play it. Halo:CE was the first videogame is ever played.

  • 10.09.2010 11:55 AM PDT

If i say hi, and you say hi back, then we're probably off to a good start.

I'd been playing games for a few years at this point, I was about 12 around the time halo came out, and my friend got a Xbox and halo, so i'd go over sometimes and play it with him
I know the first day I played halo, I played against him, and i think another friend of his on hang 'em high.

Needless to say, I was somewhat natural at halo, and I pretty much dominated that match.

I was 11 years old and had recently got an xbox. My best friend came over for the weekend with a game(Halo CE) his older brother just bought. We played it 3 days straight. Thats one of my best gaming memories.

  • 10.09.2010 9:48 PM PDT

I believe I was 10 or 11 when I first played Halo. I remember going over to my uncle's and not knowing what to do and repeatedly dieing on a campaign mission.

  • 10.09.2010 10:01 PM PDT

I can remember it almost perfectly - I was 8 and it was about a year before Halo 2 would have come out. I was at a neighbour's house.

We breezed through the first 3 levels on Easy, then we picked Legendary for the Silent Cartographer and it took us two hours...



To get to the first checkpoint. LOL

I was probably around 8 or 9 and I'm 13 now... I attempted to play it when I was about 5 or 6 when my parents were still asleep but I got past the title page, freaked out and immediately turned it off again haha I was a wimp. Oddly enough I really got into it when my parents divorced in 2007. Sadly I didn't experience the multiplayer experience until reach beta, so I hadn't fully experienced it until last year!
