I remember my first console and my first console game and my first FPS game. Yes, it was halo one: combat evolved. Hell that game was the reason i even bought a freaken xbox, and i have been hooked ever since. What about you internet, was halo one:cobat evolved the reason why you bought an xbox?

Halo 1 is the reason I got my first Xbox.

Even well after I got a 360, when my old Xbox died, Halo 1 is the reason I got another Xbox; HCE is substantially better on its native console.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

My mom won the XBox on a radio contest. We weren't "financially sound", so if it wasn't for that contest I would've never gotten an XBox (and the prize came with Halo)

-K

While I didn't own an Xbox until I owned an Xbox Three-Sixty. And while Halo Three was my first game for my Xbox. Halo Combat Evolved was the reason I rented Halo Two to play at a friend's house, And the reason I got an Xbox myself to finish the fight. So, If I look back, Halo Combat Evolved is the real reason I bought an Xbox.

No doubt. I was always a Playstation guy, but when Halo came out I just had to get an xbox and play it. It was that big of a deal. The only thing that has influenced gamers to go xbox since then would be Kinect or possibly even CoD (just for the online play), but neither were as influencial as the original Halo.

Halo was actually reason number 2.

Reason number 1 goes by the name of Rainbow Six 3!

Yes. I played Halo for over a year before I got an x-box. I started playing with my gf's seven year old daughter when I first experianced the Franchise.

I bought an Xbox after saving for months and months. I picked up Halo with it because I thought it looked cool. I'd seen screenshots in magazines, and read some stuff, but really didn't know how it would be.

Best "guess" I ever made. I was instantly made a life long fan. I was 12 when I got Halo CE, and still love Halo today.

I remember being horrifed of the flood too. When they burst out of the rooms, it was such a shock.

<3 Halo
