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

i was 5 or 6. maybe even 4. i saw halo for the first time when my older cousin brought his xbox and halo 3. but i never played it until i was 5-6. i never understood the game until i was 12 and had played through all the halo campaigns. that was about 2 months ago.

Okay... 4!

I'm not kidding.

I played it round my cousin's house. We played AOTCR and Wizard. I have all Halo games.

P.S: I love you Bungie!

8 wayyyy back at my cousins house. distant memories.

  • 08.12.2011 11:42 AM PDT

I had knew about Halo since I was like 6 but I didn't like it because when I played it (very few times) the people would know everything about the game and wouldn't let me even get to know the controls

but then my mom hooked up with a guy when i was 9 (after divorce) and he had an xbox and combat evolved and i fell in love <3

  • 08.14.2011 10:13 AM PDT

5 years old. Im not joking it was halo 2 :)

  • 08.15.2011 3:32 AM PDT

i was in the seventh grade so i think i was 13, it was when halo 3 was coming out and one of my friends was drinkin mountain dew game fuel at the lunch table. and all i knew about halo was that there was a black guy but i didnt know his name. so my friend kept talkin about this master chief guy so i figuered it was the black guy(later to find out the black dude was sgt. johnson)and then i heard about the flood and how you have to kill it. so i went out and forced my gma to buy me halo 2, then later my dad got me halo 3,and wars. then my mom got me odst lol fun memories.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I was 16 when it came out. Before Halo CE came out, my friends would have Goldeneye 007 N64 parties every weekend. As soon as Halo came out, that is what we jumped to.
This is my EXACT story, actually, haha. Halo CE dropped when I was a junior in high school.

We were obsessed with Goldeneye (and Doom before that), but once Halo CE came out, we spent hundreds of hours playing LAN games against each other.

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

i kinda did it in 3 attempts,

first attempt: i was 6 years old, i was at a friends house and he asked me if i wanted to play a game named:'halo'
so i said ok, but then his mother came in and she didn't wanted us to play war games because their was enough war in real life in Iraq

second attempt: when i was 8, my grandmother bought a game for me named, halo 2.
i didn't remember that it was the second halo game, because i din't really knew halo.
so i played till the part when the flood appeared and i was scared and i din't play it until i was 13

third attempt: when i was 13 my mom bought me a game named halo 3 and i kinda remembered the name but i wasn't sure, i really liked the game allot and before i knew i was addicted about the halo universe, i searched the internet for days until i finaly
discovered Halo Pedian and from then i sold my life for Halo

it took me 7 years before i eventually liked halo ^^

so actually if you Americans din't attack Iraq i would have know halo allot earlier

-no offense USA-

I was either 16 or 17. At the time, I was only interested in Racing games (F1, Gran Turismo), and the GTA's (3 had recently come out). I'd started playing something alien (excuse the pun) to me at the time, called a First Person Shooter, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force for the PS2. As I loved Star Trek, I didn't mind it, but it wasn't really my thing. My idea of an FPS at the time was doom/quake/duke nukem, and I really wasn't interested in playing them. When the Xbox came out, my best mate bought it to play the new Oddworld game. He also bought SegaGT and this game called Halo. The first time I played it, I had a go of SegaGT, and thought it was rubbish, so my opinion of the Xbox was lowered as a result. The next time I went over, he had a demo disc which had Moto GP on it. I had a go of that, and loved it, but I wasn't going to buy the Xbox for just the one game.

He then suggested I have a go of Halo, as he knew I'd been playing Elite Force. I wasn't really too keen because I thought it'll probably just be mindless killing etc, just like Doom. However, I had a go of Assault on the Control Room, and it wasn't bad. Nice graphics, not dark and sepia like the others. Then, due to where his save-point was, I stepped out onto the rock bridge in the final area, and I was flawed. He got into a Banshee for me, and handed back the controls. I found them completely alien at first, took me about 40 minutes to get the hang of it (reverting to save etc), but that was it, I was hooked. Then, the feature that got me to go out and buy an Xbox the very next day, co-op. Absolutely glorious. Something that seems so basic in games now, sitting in a friends car while he drives, was literally orgasmic to me back then. Glorious.
