I was about 11 or 12 at a friends house.

Same, it was in like fifth grade I think. Let's see, Halo came out in 2001...so the game would have been about a year old at the time.

It was my friend and I versus his older brothers on Sidewinder.

I know that I was 4. My dad's friend's son brought over the game, and me, being a girl, didn't know what to think of it. My dad was talking to his friend about the game and idk what happened next, but we ended up keeping the game. I was playing with my little brother until Halo 2 came out. I had a LOT of good memories being scared out of my mind when we play on The Library and have to hold our position while fighting "endless" flood.

Great, OP! Now you have me swimming in my memories! Someone help me out so I can play some Halo Reach?

I was 10 I was freaking freaked out on the first level with the flood "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!!!". I didn't play it for like 6 months until I worked up the courage with my cousins sitting around watching me lol. They kept popping up out of nowhere and raping me. I really didn't like that, also it was a really dark level,there were red dots everywhere on my radar and my friends kept dieing leaving me all alone. When halo 2 came out I beat it the first night it came out in 5 hours I remember sitting there at 5 in the morning thinking "really??" "That's it?"

The first thing I saw was my brother and his friend playing on Battle Creek. Then they set my twin and I up on The Keyes and left the room. Aaaand I've been hooked ever since.

You know our motto, We deliver!

8 years old not long after Halo's release. I played it and INSTANTLY became in love with it. I ended up playing it all night long on my own and it wasn't even my game/ console. I was at my parents friend's party. It's always been my favourite game since and the amount of time I've put into it is insane.

11 when i played Halo Wars. I loved it, but then Halo: Reach came out. I was really jealous cause i wasn't aloud to get "m" games until i was 14 and only SOME games too. Halo Reach kicks Halo 1 2 and possibly 3's butt.

Friendship Evolved

Warning: Life story inbound. TL;DR version at the bottom.

I was around six years old. I played Halo: Combat Evolved a few months after it came out, much to the dismay of my parents. In 2005, five years after the PC version came out, I jumped for the $20 opportunity. After that, Halo 2 was released. I didn't have Xbox Live, so I couldn't play online, but every time we had guests over, I'd help set up the LAN party. 2007, same year as Halo 3, I got into creating custom content for Halo: Custom Edition. I never made anything worthwhile, but it was fun to learn 3D modeling, texturing, and animating. We got Halo 3 a few weeks after release and had a blast with our new consoles and Xbox Live service. Then Halo Wars. Being a PC player, I've had my fingers around a handful of RTS games that kept me entertained for a while. Halo Wars was something else. It was unique. 2009, pre-order for Halo 3: ODST. Best campaign since the first game, in my opinion. 2010, I pre-ordered Halo: Reach. I liked the Beta, I figured I would love the campaign. Not the best campaign, but certainly one to call your own. Now, I wait impatiently for Halo 4, waiting to see if 343 is up to the task of continuing the legacy that I've been alongside for a lifetime.

TL;DR Version: I was six when it was released in 2001. That's the first time I've played it, and I've been with the series ever since.

I was 21 and in college. After playing with some guys in the dorm i got halo PC then bought my first xbox and halo. I sucked but improved fast. By the time Halo 2 came out I was ranked 3 in the dorm.

  • 03.30.2012 8:09 AM PDT

well I am 22 now. so I think I was 11 or 12 too when halo 1 came out. my nephew was like 3 or something. practically raised on halo that one...

  • 04.05.2012 4:15 PM PDT

The first time i played it... I was 4.....

I was at my cousins house (he was only 2 years older than me) and he had just bought it. I loved it and bought it 2 years later when i got my first xbox.

Then i got halo 2 and then halo 3 in 2008. Terrific series.... Until Reach disappointed me with the first bad campaign (yes even ODST i prefer).

around 8 or 9 at my dad's friends house

  • 05.31.2012 7:20 PM PDT

~:O>~~

I was 12... my cousin just had recently got an X-Box from his parents along with Halo, and we stood up the entire night playing split screen.

Because of that... my parents refused to buy me and my brother an X-Box, Because they thought we would stay up all night again.

So they bought us a PS2 instead. *Facepalm*
