I was 5 when I played the first Halo, I used to call the Flood Carrier "popcorn" I don't now why. :P

I hope to see some goosers of the future. May DBM ride into the next decade! Mon Kings , Monflocks. Mon-Elites, and Golden Gooses unite and go FTW!

I was around 11 years old. Cousin played it non stop. Told me the Spartan could do special things like pee acid or shoot lasers out of their visors...

Now I learned never to trust a thing he says...

Probably about 11 or 12 at my friends house was the first time I remember playing it. I only got an xbox a little after H2 came out.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

Maybe 8 or 9? I don't know. I'm 13 now, and it was during the time frame between Halo 2's release and Halo 3's. Anyways, My friends Isaac and Isaiah had a dad who loved Halo (despite his obvious lack of skill at it) and against their mom's better judgement would let them play it every so often. I have little memory of the things we did on Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2 from that time, and of the two I only own and/or have recently played Halo: Combat Evolved (through the "Xbox LIVE Classic" download thing). The only thing I really remember of the two was everyone being n00bs with the Scorpions on Coagulation and us playing snipers on the map focused around a satellite dish. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but I know Pinnacle on Halo: Reach is more or less a remake of it.

13, wish I could've gotten onto Halo sooner

7...I remember playing The Pillar of Autumn,Truth and Reconciliation,and 343 Guilty Spark. And CRAPLOADS of Multiplayer on Sidewinder/Coagulation.

Then I played Halo 2 Multiplayer...not much Campaign but I solved that problem...and I got Halo 3 a year before Reach was covered in GameInformer

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I was 11 when I got Halo Combat Evolved with my new xbox for christmas, funny I got it less then 1 month after it was released. Only wish it had online, though the lan parties were fun as hell back then.

"Besides,now it PAYS to be the strong and silent type."

I was 10 years old when I first played. It was the christmas of '08, and it might have been the first FPS I had ever played. I remember being stuck, going through the maze they made out of the Truth and Reconciliation. On Easy!!! Now I can run a quick lap through every level of Combat:Evolved, on Legendary. Ah, memories......

Life? What life?

Well I was in 8th grade, so 13 or 14...my friends brothers, who were always into the newest stuff, wanted me to play. At first I was like wtf? But then we got going into the beginning of the game and my mood really changed, I couldn't believe how freakin' awesome this was! Now I look back since Reach came out and thought, that really was the next best thing back then? But I still love Halo CE *actually whipped it out yesterday, my 360 almost didn't know what to do with it* and realized how much better I am at Halo then I was back then.

the first time my average teenager universe crossed with halo was in the summer of 2004 just when halo 2 was released someone broke in to my house and curiously only took my mega drive and nintendo systems and about 60 cartridges that was like a divine intervention to buy an xbox later in that afternoon i was weinning about get a ps2 but my elder brother convinced me to get an xbox i didn't know where i was getting into the pack i bhought was the black (dark green) xbox with one controller plus halo and halo 2.
I can honestly say that my relationship with halo and xbox couldn't start better! today when i think about those great times the memories are still there but now that my xbox 1 and x 360 are both gone i prevail with nothing but nostalgy (and megadrive) lol though i still play halo 1 in a friend's house bloodgulch and the snowy one (i don't remember the name of it) and cooperative on legendary unfortunatelly that setting is very easy although sometimes (very rarely) it fits on that bye y'all

I was about 6 or 7. Born in 2000,I never got to play CE first but I did play Halo 2. I still remember choosing to be an elite instead of a spartan. Good times. Good Times.

I know what the ladies like. -Sgtma A. Johnson

I was 8 or 9 at the time and I thought it was so stupid for the first two levels. The one thing that really ticked me off was when Cpt. Keyes gives you the pistol AND IT'S EMPTY! That and how did the Covenant learn to speak english? And why is the only thing the Elites could say is Wort Wort Wort that and Noooooo! After a while though I really enjoyed it.

i was about 10 at my friends house. i was really naive then and i though only bad people played m rated games. but i was so freaking curious about why the main character looked like a stormtrooper. so naturally i inqured and ever since then i have been dying to play it. i have a ps3 but the only regret i have about having it is the halo franchise. whenever theres an offer to go to a friends house to play reach i nearly shout for joy!!!
