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

I was 20. Played in a friends barracks room 1v1, it was my first time on an x-box. It was pretty fun at the time but I didn't play Halo again until 2009 while on a deployment and got into it for good. Since then i've played all the games.

Join my forum The Halo Legion. A mature, friendly, welcoming place to talk about Halo.

I had just turned 12. I had a similar situation to the OP. My best friend had an Xbox and Halo (he got one shortly after launch) but I didn't get one yet. I went to his house one day (not knowing he had an Xbox; I still had a PS2) and he said that he had just got an Xbox and this awesome game called Halo. So, we sat down and played through the whole campaign in one day and it was awesome. I got my Xbox and Halo, the following Easter (Easter of 2002) and I've been playing Halo ever since.

About 7, i first played on Halo 2 after my brother traded his PS1 for a Xbox. I can remember that he said "Oh yeah, watch out for the Flood", i then replied "What? I hate water"... great days

A casual gamer.

I must have been the youngest!
I was like 5, But I wasn't some screeming little kid on xbox live. Was my second console, N64, goldeneye and Orcarina of time were among the first games I ever played. I'm 15 now. I grew up around Halo. One of the best games in my lifetime.

I watched my nephew play the orginal Halo when I was about 6 or 7 (he was 9).

I remember when I first played multiplayer. I went over to a friend's house and we played Halo 2 split-screen on lockout. One of his friends was over and all I remember was him saying, "Go easy on him, you play Live so you're actually good at this game!"

Oh how much I would own him now :)

I started Starori games in 2011.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

12. I was on vacation in NC and my dad was playing it. At the time I never had played an Xbox because most games on it at the time didn't interest me much but this game seemed different. Most of my gaming was done on my SNES, N64, and PC (Diablo 1&2 or Myth). I remember the sound of the sniper caught my attention. I was pretty much hooked as I saw it tear thru enemies. We ended up doing split screen and I couldn't put down the controller for the rest of the vacation.

Hmmmm, Oh, hello!

I first played in 2004, so I was seven years old just when my friend got it on launch and he asked if I wanted to play the campaign unfortinatly he put it on Heroic and I died multiple times, when I finished it, I asked what was Matchmaking, and he put me in and I set my colors and my Emblem.

Long story short, I played all day and I was terrible.
