i was like 9 or 10, i remember my older brother and his friends would have halo parties and it would be up to 16 people. sometimes i would play with them if they couldnt find a 16th guy or someone went home.
but i just remember we would start at like 9 or 10 at night and we seriously played until we realized the sun was out the next day. the game never got old. and it was just so intense every match. i remember also ordering pizza at like 10 and then again around 2 or 3 in the same night
im 18 and my brother and his friends are like 24 now..i know i wont have those same memories but i hope the new remake can give me the same similarities on xbox live

I still won't play COD!!!!!!
HALO rules!

The first time i experienced halo was not me playing it. I was 10 when i bought a used xbox that came with it. I put the game in and I have been obsessed ever since. I play 360 mostly, I get to play xbox when i get the chance to go to my dad's house.

I think it was about 3 years ago(which means I was 12). my friend asked me if I had heard of halo(I said yes) he asked if I had played it and I said I had not.
next thing I know he fires up his old XBOX and sets me on the mission regret in Halo 2
I had played other FPSs but Halo just took my breath away

I was 32 and the only reason I got Halo was they had 2 player campain.
My wife played through the campain with me so many times on legendary if we wanted an easy run through we'd play heroic.

The best part was the first time through we played like total noobs so the game took forever to get through. We beat Halo 2 the first day and where not happy at all.
We didn't realy play Halo 2 until just befor the Halo 3 beta then we got on live.

I was 11. My friend across the road invited me over to play his xbox as he'd just bought one.

I didn't buy an Xbox straight off the bat, but hell I wanted to. £399 was simply an unjustifiable price tag, despite Halo's awesomeness. And being an 11 year old kid, I didn't have that kind of money anyway.

I was about 9. Discovered it on the demo for Halo CE. I played it so many times... it was magical :)

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

About 8 years old. Can't believe it's been that long...

about 5 or 6 when the first halo came out. I would go over to my friends house and we would play all night, then wake up go outside and pretend we were Master Chief.

I take screenshots, check them out!

Keep it simple stupid.

I was five. My cousin bought an xbox and Halo and we would always go to his house on Christmas eve and he and I would go play Halo for hours! I would always look forward to Christmas eve so I could play Halo with my cousin.

When the Xbox 360 came out my Dad's friend bought one and gave us his xbox. So we bought Halo CE and Halo 2. My Dad, brother, sister, and I. My Dad said we couldn't play Halo 2 until we were completely sick of CE. We played it for a year or two, and then halo 2 for six months. Then we got high speed internet! So we played Halo 2 online until Microsoft shut it down.

About 9-10 i think it was soooooooo epic when i played it back then.

  • 06.09.2011 7:31 AM PDT

I was 20 and because I got an Xbox for free with my mobile it was really 1+1 for me. I already played a demo of Halo CE and I felt in love with it. My girlfriend bought Halo CE for me and now I can't live without it. That big sized controller was awesome and way too big. It rumbled like hell. Ah the nostalgia...

somewhere between 5 and 8. Someone in my family brought over multiple X boxes and a few copies of it and we all goofed around on the multiplayer. I remember accidentally switching to a Team with me being the only member of it just before a match. Naturally, it didn't go very well.

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

When the PC demo came out in 2003 I was 13, and I played the demo non-stop. By 2004 I got an xbox with Halo 1 and then Halo 2. I only got a 360 for Halo 3.
