Subject: How Old Were you When you First Played This Game?

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Or your first Halo game. I was like four and my mom was visiting somebody's house and their son (who was like 15 at the time) was in the basement playing CE.
I didn't hardly know that video games existed, so when he was like, "Here, you play for a bit," it was kind of cool. I finally figured out how to move, and when the Covennant came, I tried hiding in a tree.
About five years later, I played CE again and it was a total Deja Vu moment.

man, i don't even remember...probably about 10 or so. it wasn't even out when i was four. I didn't get a halo game for myself until i was 13 i believe but now i am addicted(or so says my family) and own every halo game.

Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.

I got started a little after I turned 18 about a year or so after Halo 2 came out. I didn't own an Xbox and it took until one of my friends got the game.

Though interestingly, I had been interested in Halo for about a year previous to that after watching the first two seasons of Red vs. Blue.

The Human race is the parasite of the Earth. The galaxy is the host of the Earth. The universe is the parasite of something much grander...

10 years of existence and not a day older

28. I was pretty much done with gaming, and didn't care for violence, period. But the mighty CE tapped into the magical formula of the puzzles being the combat itself, and the organic nature of the game struck me. I got back into gaming because of it, and haven't looked back. Since then it's been a slew of games, but nothing has ever compared to CE. So much fun and magic.

12, I think. Halo: CE got me into console gaming. Beforehand, all I had under my belt was various Star Wars dogfighting games(Rogue Squadron, TIE Fighter, X-Wing, etc.) and some -blam!- Star Wars FPSs.

I was 10-11 at a friends house.
Halo 2 had already come out, and everyone was exited about halo 3.
I like CE better, but all the other kids wanted to play 2.
I was so bad, that I kinda hated halo..
I would commit suicide over and over for fun.
Now my friends are all done with halo, and I got my first halo game recently rofl.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I was 11 years old at the time Halo Combat Evolved came out. Got it for christmas from my older brother December 2001. First game I ever had for the old xbox. Gaming was so simple back then, now that I look back.

Microsoft's carelessness was a colossal failure.
They failed to protect Halo 2,
When the great journey is upon us
Their heresy will stay their feet.
And they will be left behind.

I first played it when I was 7 in 2003, one of my friend's had it, then he got Halo 2 in 2004, and Halo 3 in 2007. He got Halo 2 and 3 on their release dates.

I was 10. I had just started playing real games. My mom finally came around to rated M games, and bought me Halo 2. Then i went to my friend's house and we played Halo Ce multiplayer. I of course, hated it, being so used to Halo 2, but then I played the campaighn. Finally I wasn't lost with the story. I bought Halo Ce and barrly played Halo 2, except for multiplayer. Halo Ce is still my favorite game.
