Got an xbox when the christmas after they came out, so I was 12 at the time.

The last game I had played was goldeneye, since I didn't have a PS2 and basically never played one, Halo (and the xbox in general) was an incredible upgrade. I was gob-smacked at the graphics of Halo and all my other games, but that night when I was still up at 4am it was Halo I was choosing sleep over :P

Spent the next few weeks/months going to my friends house every day doing legendary campaign together, so many bad memories of Library ;_;, and so many reruns of AotCR.

I miss those days, even if Xbl and online gaming in general gives an interesting experience, it means I play a heeeeell of a lot less at my friends houses, and those times were really fun.

Wort, wort, wort!

If I recall it correctly.. I was 11 or 12. It was 3 years ago only, a few months before Halo 2 came out on PC. My friend, told me of a game he played a long time ago, and that he freaked out at the first flood contact part, and finished it. Since I was bored, I thought, yeah what the hell, I'll try it. It pulled me in so deep... I play it every time I'm sick, or just really really bored of any other game, and Halo:CE still keeps me entertained. It doesn't even look that old! It is the best Halo ever.

I was 33 years old and the first time I played it I fell asleep playing it because I played it for like seven hours. I woke up at 5 am to the sound of me respawning and getting killed over and over.

either 7 or 8. I can remember opening my xbox and putting it straight in the disc drive :D it was so hard to play with that massive pad and my little hands. My fondest memory of the game is the second level when you walk out of the drop pod and there's all dead marines. I wish i could find where i put the game.

In high definition baby!

I think I was 8 back in 2002. I went to a friend house (who was a teen at the time) and he introduced me to the Xbox. That's when Halo became the first Xbox game I ever played.

He had to walk me through the control movememnt. I had never played a game that allows you to move and aim independently, lol.

If you think you're the best fluffy, gun shootin', Brute pwning guy around, you are sadly mistaken... Fear the dreaded "mew"!

Twelve? I first played The Ark, and had no idea how to kill the Scarab.

If you build it, I can destroy it.

I was... 16? Some friends called and said they were going to play a fun game on this new system called "the xbox". I was used to playing 4 player ffa on GoldenEye for N64.

As soon as I picked up that big, black monster of a controller and jumped into a 8v8 slayer or CTF, that was the death of my free time. The next week I went to the store and bought an xbox, a LAN hub, and Halo. To this day I have never owned any game for the original xbox than Halo 1 & 2.

I think we had LAN Halo nights at least once a month, or even once a week for a while. And sadly, when xbox live came out, it ended a pretty long era of LAN parties. Damn you Microsoft. Now, I no longer get to stare my opponent in the face.

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

I was 16 when I bought the Xbox system a month after it came out just to play Halo. I didn't know much about it, but me and my older brother knew it was gonna be awesome.

We played Halo everyday for the 1st year and a half, then we just played off and on throughout the week until Halo 2 released. We even drilled a whole through our wall to run a lan cord for my bros new Xbox when he got his own.

We went to competitions. We had lan parties at my parents on the weekends a lot, with 8 to 16 people each time. Fun times. :)

I was 11 and it was several days after i bought a PS2. My dad was driving me to gamestop(I belive it was still funcoland at the time)and on the way there asked me what about getting an xbox(which had just came out earlier that week) and my reaction was something like "No playstation is way better". 2 days later my parents went on vacation and i stayed at my cousins house. My cousin got an Xbox and asked if i wanted to play, and i asked him what game, and he said halo. And about 10 mins into playing halo i knew i made a mistake getting a PS2.
