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

I was about 9/10. I'm not really sure but I know I was in Primary school.

I can remember going to the bank with my brother and my mum to get the money to buy the xbox. Me and my brother split it £60 each. I was unbelievably excited as It was my first console and I had relatives that had one. My first game for it wasn't Halo. I bought Midtown Madness, Burnout 3 and other classic xbox originals.

My cousin came round with Halo CE and he sold it to me for £5. The moment I stepped out of the Drop Pod onto the Halo ring, I was indulged in Halo CE. It was one of my first console FPS's and still remains my favourite. I played through the missions in split screen with my brother. I can still remember how scary and confusing the level 343 Guilty Spark was late at night. We couldn't find the way out of the structure so we stopped playing for that night.

After we had finally accomplished that level we were faced with The Library. I died over and over again trying to even get passed the first stage ( Bear in mind I was young ). I had friends try and complete the level for me but they failed.

Years later I remembered that I never actually beat Halo CE even after completing Halo 2, 3, and ODST. I played it on the 360 so I had to do all the missions again but replaying the missions made me relive those past times and when I drove that Warthog to the ship at the end of The Maw and flew out of harms way, I felt that I had fully experienced all that is Halo.

I'm 15 now and Reach doesn't even give the sense of awe that the first 3 games did.

I was 10 and played at a friend's house. Didn't even have an Xbox so my mom took me to the Best Buy so I could get an Xbox and Halo THAT NIGHT! It was EPIC!

Haha, I'm sure everyone remembers early on in "The Pillar of Autumn" when you walk through the blast door and the Elite is standing there, screaming his ugly head off at you! lol

I was 7 and the first time that I saw the flood I almost -blam!- my pants...

It scared me to death now it is just plain awesome.

I was 7.
I started out shooting flood with a shotgun and progressed to shooting everyone else with a sniper rifle. Good times.

I remember playing it first at my cousin's house a very long time ago (Like when it first came out). I didn't actually buy it until I was like 12 or 13.

Had to be about 7 or 8 was when I played Halo: CE.
Best experiences were during Halo 2, though.

ROFLCOPTER

I remeber Halo, in all it's 64 bit lookin glory, as Cpt. keyes talked to Cortana.

I remeber the sun set on Halo as I crash landed

I remeber snow falling, along with the blue blood of elites and grunts in my way.

I remeber my first visit by the flood.

I remeber 60 bullets per clip, with 10 extra mags just seemed to be the norm of the world.

I remeber.....Halo, but not the age I played it..(the music was awesome too)

I was 12. I heard about Halo 3 on the Internet and I heard a lot of people saying it is awesome, but I wasn't really interested. Then I decided to wish that for Christmas just to try it out. Today, it's my 2nd favorite game. Nothing can replace Crash Bandicoot 1,2 and 3 and all the memories I had for it.
