I was six or seven (yes, I'm young)and I didn't have my own xbox, so I would go over and just get owned by my friend.

Never hate your enemy. It effects your judgment.

One sweet summer day, about in the middle of June in the suburbs of central Texas, a 9 year old child named Jon answered a call from his best friend. He answered and talked with his friend about the two's interest at the time, videogames. (Knowing not that these games would engulf and change and evolve their lives, as well a the lives of others for years to come). They talked and talked until a sleepover was arranged and Jon was hosting. They were talking about new Xbox games and what games to bring. Through the chitter chatter of games that Jon's friend had, tossing up names like Farcry: Instincts, Red Dead: Revolver, and Unreal, one special slot was saved for a new game called Halo. But this game was M-rated, and many questions were asked and the integrity of Jon's friend tested. The talk ended with a solid agreement: Halo will come. When Jon's friend arrived at his house, he let him in and helped with his bags, but handled one with care; the one with Halo in it. Little knowing of the event to come, they put in the disk and started the game. When the music began, and the game started, it set the setting for an event that would change the life of Jon forever. When the two were packing down the halls of the Pillar of Autumn, filling the putrid alien scum with led and eventually reaching the last life boat. As the adrenalin spike was up, Jon witnessed the crash of the life boat that contained the Master Chief and as he walked out of the hunk of metal, his heart was shattered into dust. Tears streaming from his eyes, the beauty and serenity of the computer generated world was enough to send Jon off the edge. But he had to continue, destroying the alien slime, saving the lost marines, and housing the brilliant A.I. named Cortana all at the same time. This idea, this game, was the seed of a vast and majestic empire. From a child, Jon grew up under the shade and well knowing of the gaming philosophy, shaping him into a better gamer as well as a better person. Often known as 'That kid who plays Halo', he was battered and beaten by the ridicule, mocking, and teasing of those around him, but his allegiance was still with Halo. Soon after, Jon's best friend even fell out of his love for Halo, but his allegiance was still with Halo. But like a fire, is passion of Halo led to the conversion of most of his friends to Halo instead of the other sizable series at the time. Soon, Halo was the stuff, it was the cornerstone of FPS and its reign was growing at a rapid pace. Now, John and his best friend get together every once in a while just to talk and play Halo like good old times. With all of the books, games, and access to what he hadn't when he was a child; internet, Jon enjoys watching fellow fan-made movies and videos as well as reading would be scripts and player created content, and replaying that one part of Combat Evolved that had changed his life so long ago. That is my story. Thank you, Bungie, for making my day every day.

On page 164 of my halo 2 game history, I have achieved something great!

The very first time i played halo is when a friend came over that was about 3 years older than me came over with his xbox, which was 9 1/2 years ago.

At that time i was 8, i recieved my xbox and halo at age 9, and my little brother and I completed the campaign on normal, heroic, and legendary, by the time i was 10 and he was 4 1/2. By that time none of my friends were able to beat me at halo, even at a 4 vs. 1, well a year after H2 came out i was able to do that to my friends. :P

I was 11 or 12. I was a bit late to the party, the first game I played was Halo: 3.

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

8 or something
The first game I played was CE but it was already out like years.
Then I never got the chance to play halo 2 so went straight to 3. I believe halo 2 was better than the third, if so then halo 2 was the best halo.

I was 11 and I got Halo 3 brand new from a garage sale for just $16. Then ODST came out and my friend gave it to me. After that, Reach cam out and I got that actually just last Christmas. Then a couple weeks after that I downloaded Halo CE for the PC and loved it! Then just this morning I got to play Halo 2 for the first time! I can't wait for the next Halo game.

like 6th grade. went over my freinds house and played on blood gulch. i remember i was like souped over the insane amount of blood that would splatter across the walls and if i remember correctly when you shot at the dead bodies blood would squirt out. like a few weeks later i got an xbox for my birthday and a copy of halo and i beat it that night.

I was 23 when CE came out on Xbox. I was so into PS2 (Star Wars: Jedi Knight) that I had no idea what Xbox had to offer. My future brother-in-law got an Xbox + Halo CE (at release) for his early birthday and he asked me to "try it out" with him. I was absolutely blown away by the graphics & gameplay. I remember using the pistol and "zooming-in" to look at the ground at the beginning of "Halo" (2nd level) and freaking out because you could actually SEE the blades of grass. That sense of awe over the attention-to-detail by the developers carried over througout the rest of the game. I called in to work for the next 2 days as we beat the Campaign together and I promptly sold my PS2 and all the games, bought an Xbox and CE, and then invited 5-6 of my friends to come play it at my house. Within 2 weeks we ALL had Xboxes and Halo. We spent almost every weekend over the next 2 years toting TVs and Xboxes around to various places to system link 16 people and play each other. Ten years later, we are almost all still playing Halo together! Thank you Bungie, Microsoft & the great Halo community for creating such a great gaming experience!

Errmm about 9, i played one of the early missions from CE. After that it was about a 4 year wait and I played 1 game of matchmaking on Halo 3 at a friend's house. But i had always been interested in Halo, and i bean to read the Fall of Reach and the other books. WHile reading the Fall of Reach i got an XBox 360 for christmas. The first 2 games i bought for it were Halo 1 and 2, and I have become a huge halo fan ever since.

I kill trolls and eat them at a later date, same with Republicans.

10 and it was Halo 2 at my cousins house I was so amazed by it (all i had was a gameboy)

I was 11 when it first came out, so I was in 6th grade. After someone in our class finally got an xbox, a bunch of us rushed to his house to play. I finally got my own when I finished the 8th grade. :x My favorite thing to do was to hit Elites til their purple goo was everywhere and it slowed the game down or make a path of dead Chiefs through out the whole level with my younger sister on co-op.

I played Halo 3 at my friend's house when I was 10. I didn't really like it because we always played on his badly forged maps. I got the game with my 360 when I was 13 and got CE a few months ago.
