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

I was seven when I first played Halo. One time, I was playing Zelda: OoT on my Gamecube. My dad brought in a brand new Xbox, which came packaged with Halo. My dad started it up and the Pillar of Autumn actually scared me. To this day I continue to enjoy Halo, old and new alike.

BAM! Said the lady ;3

9 years old with the halo trial. I saw gameplay of halo 2 and wondered what the fuss was about... i was blown away at how epic silent cartographer was. The graphics the music, and the itty bitty grunts xD

Goodbye Bungie.

I was 7 when my uncle came home with a new game. He told me it was a sci-fi game, he knew i was into star wars, so i played it and it was amazing. Now I'm 15 and still i still like it. :)

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

I played it at 10. But I think I only really experienced what it was all about a few years later, when I'd matured.

I was 8 years old and always played with one of my friends, my 12 year old brother and one of his friends. The MP was extremely fun! But I also played the campaign a lot with my brother. Especially AotCR.

I was 15 years old when I first played it back in early 2003 when my stepbrother got me into playing it. The game became one of my favorite fps shooters of all time along with Doom and Quake :)

I was in 3rd grade, so about 6 or 7. It was the first time i ever went over to my friends house, and the first time id ever heard of the xbox or halo. we played The pillar of Autumn, and i got lost as soon as i hopped out of the cryo-pod, pissed my friend off so much haha. Then I didnt play it again for a couple years when i was invited over to that same friends new house for a sleep over, and we had a massive LAN party with all our friends. it was awesome.

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

7. 17 now. And am ready to play an UPGRADED version of the best game I've ever played in my life.

a preposterous load of banter begging a good listening to

I was 10. My brother visited with Halo games. I never wanted to play Mario Kart again.

2001?

I was... 24. (Holy Sh** !!!)

My friends and I were so hyped about the Xbox back then! We waited for it to come out, we were so dam* tired of the Playstation. Even though it was a risk (new console trying to grab a foothold of Sony and Nintendo's dominance) all the game hype we had heard about Halo had convinced us.

We bought our Xbox's just before Halo dropped, and we bought our copies on the day that Halo: Combat Evolved dropped.

We almost couldn't get the packages open fast enough (I'm surprised that the discs survived the onslaught...), we figured out how to link four Xbox's together, and had our first LAN party!

Oh the magic! No more split screening, we could have multiplayer without having the screen divided up into 2-4 little plots...

It's an experience I will never forget. Since then, when Xbox Live was debuted for/with Halo 2 (I was shocked in the ViDoc that Bungie pretty much wrote Xbox Live and made it work. That's so cool!), Matchmaking and online gaming has gotten so great!

But I will never forget buying an Xbox just for Halo and taking that risk, and having it be the best decision I have ever made in gaming.

I was 4 when i started playing halo (Halo Combat Evolved when it first came out).

  • 08.06.2011 3:19 PM PDT

I was 10 when i first played Halo i got it with my Xbox360 (BTW it was Halo 3)

  • 08.06.2011 3:23 PM PDT

5 years old. My step-dad introduced it to me. Lol i remember when i saw the grunts in the first level, i ran back to Keyes and shot him in the face and freaked out because Cortana yelled at me.

9/14/10 The fall of reach

I was thirteen or so, so I guess you could say I'm new to the franchise. I started out with Halo PC, then bought a 360 later on and ODST and jumped feet first into Halo 3's multiplayer. Good times were had. After that I became an avid Halo fan thanks to Machinima, Arby n' The Cheif, Red vs Blue, etc. You get the idea. I watched Halo 3's E6 2006 Trailer for the first time and it gave me chills; I knew I had to get that game.

wazzzzzzzzzup:)

I was about seven or eight when I first played halo combat evolved. It was at my cousins place which was about a one hour drive from where i live but I will never forget the memories playin splitscreen with my cousin and his friends. But I would get owned by them since I truly sucked at halo. but still good memories

  • 08.08.2011 12:14 AM PDT

Ten I think. I played Combat Evolved at my friends house and I loved it.

In space, no one can see your shame. The utter beauty of the stars and galaxies will leave you lost in the desolate wasteland of rocks and dust, and that, children, is why astronauts are crazy people.
On a side note, I am a grammar & vocab-friendly guy. So don't assume I'm a smart ass if you get into a complex argument with me...

Ah the nostalgia... I was 8 or 9, in. The rowdy neighborhood teens let me in their house and we played Halo 2 I got frustrated playing 4 player splitscreen on Lockout. But I loved the graphics and complexity. I waited a few month game. My friend Johnny had an Xbox and Halo 2 as well. I met him later on and we played Halo 2. I got my butt handed to him the first few months I played with him. But then I slowly got better and he couldn't hold the skill on me. 2009, I was 10 and I got the 360 and Halo 3. I was so excited, the campaign was brilliant. I was drawn towards the game every day I played it. I got Xbox live 2 months later. I quickly made about 20 friends I had from school mostly. I had so many great custom games with my friends. Late 2009 my birthday came and I received all the map packs. My god I became so good my friends actually envied me, I thought of becoming MLG. I got ODST in Christmas. My first beta, Halo Reach. I became frenzied to buy the full game. It was a VERY good beta. Halo Reach came out and I got it. My mind was blown. Good graphics amazing gameplay. Man, It was fun. I had so many good times playing. I Have had so many good times and counting. GT: MoB x Epsilon if anyone wants to play custom games w/ me.
