pretty sure the first time I played in 2001

Sighness

Indubidubly. Banana.

First time I played in 2001. I never got an Xbox so I'd Lan Halo once every few monthes. Then in Dec 2004 I got my Xbox and borrowed Halo CE from a friend for 3 weeks and bought Halo 2 Boxing Day. I played Halo CE for 2 hours a day for 3 weeks and made it upto to Legendary with only Halo/AOTCR/SC/T&R left to finish. I returned it and then played Halo 2. First I did campaign till I got it finished on Legendary a couple weeks later (2 hours a day) everyday. I was owned at first by friends, now I'm doing the owning. Too bad some of my friends get pissed off crazily and don't want me playing with them anymore =( I never knew games were supposed to be friend threatening. On Live....I'm alright, if there's no lag I can hold out well on my own. Also depends on the Gametypes played, Good in CTF/Assault.Slayer, alright in Oddball, not so great in Territories/KOTH

Then in July, 2005 I finally bought Halo CE. Then I beat the few remaining levels.

So...We can say I got the 'Hook' in 2004.

I dont know exactly when but I can tell you that I recently rediscovered it this last week when holiday visitors dropped in and I had to move my xbox from its internet connection and up to my room. What to do? No xbox live so I pop in my HALO disc and what a blast it has been.

I first played when I went to seattle for vacation in the summer of 02. I played Halo at the next door neighbor's house, 4-player split screen, and it was hang 'em. I keep looking for the shotgun and keep getting lost. When I got back to Las Cruces, NM, my brother's friend had an X-Box and I went over and told him to get Halo. So maybe 2 weeks late he got halo and my brother, his friend ben, and I played through the campaign and played 2-player split screen. We played blood gulch cause we though it was so cool to shoot at each other half way across the map(yes dont lie you did it to) and drive the ghost. I also thought sidewinder was cool because of the tank and damnation was cool because of the waterfalls. So my freshman year(fall 03) I went to my low brass party after a marching band competition and we played a near 16 player lan of halo. I though it was the greatest thing in the world and played all day. I though it was amazing that some of those guys jumped when they shot rockets and killed me with 8 shots with the pistol. We played hang 'em high ctf and tryed to go the needler ramp to take each other flag. after picking up the needler 20 time I finally killed someone. I just though it was so cool. I learned some of these guy play regularly and the yhave been playing for half a year, so I started playing with them regularly and we got pretty good. And because of Halo I got an X-Box. And we were big anticipaters of halo 2. A few day before one of my friend andrew dormody discovered the leaked french version of halo 2 and downloaded it on to his modded box and told my other friend dax and he didd the same. 2 dayss before halo 2 was released, my friends Dax and Cory and myself went over to my friend Jayce's and played the French version. We really didnt like the game, so Halo sort of died after then. then near the end of the school year this year I played on live at one of my friends houses and though it was so cool, so I got my own account and played at my friends house all day every day, and I though after the first update, that halo 2 seemed more like halo ce, but I was dissappointed that the magnum power was decreased. Eventually I got Comcast Cable and now I am a regular live player.

After a buddy of mine gave me his XBOX with a copy of Halo 2. I played it for a while and thought "Dang, this is awesome" and decided to pick up Halo 1 after I read the books. I've been playing Halo on normal (I'm a n00b, and an old fart too, so my reflexes aren't great) and I've been having a blast until I got to The Library. My favorite part so far was in Attack on the Control Center where you climb the support pillar with the sniper rifle. Pwn3d (where the heck did that spelling originate, anyway?) grunts and jackals and Elites alike from up there. What set the hook though was driving the Scorpion and blasting everything in sight. Nothing like coming up on a couple of Hunters and turning them into orange goo.

Playing Halo on the Xbox on Normal on Christmas(This is when they launched the game and console on Christmas), I couldent put it down because it was so enjoying and felt like a real FPS that came to a console.

Got it for my B-day on June 2002. Didnt get a Xbox until chrismas of that year. So it was just sittin' there on top of my PS1 for 7 months. I must have read the game manual every day until I got the Xbox.

I played Halo all day that day, showed my friends, and within 2-3 months all of my friends had a xbox with Halo... crazy.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

2003. I played at my friend's Birthday party with Lan. It was pretty fun. I didn't know what i was doing, though. Then I got a free Xbox and bam, there we go.

Yeah, man. Coincidentally, in 2002 when I went to a friend's house and played Co-op for the first time on Keyes. In the few following months, I went to another friend's house, and experienced 4 player multiplayer. And dude, after that, I was totally hooked. In April or May, I picked up my own 'Box and Halo as the first game. And until the launch of Halo 2, 7.5/8 (As a fraction) of friends I knew had Halo: CE.

I didn't play a LAN until a month or two after I bought Halo. Or was it the same month? Nevermind, I still got my highest of second out of four games we played. And this coming from a guy who had never played Multiplayer except for once.

And that same LAN, I learned what a corpse-hump was.

i played halo for the 1st time when it and the xbox JUST came out. it was on display so people could play it. i remember it being SO realistic looking. when i was playing it, i thought to myself, I NEED THIS. i got an xbox with Halo about 2 years later. then i REALLY got hooked. that was like all i ever talked about because it was the greatest game i ever played back then. Today i still think it has one of the best story-lines ever

Halo also introduced me to my first experience with muliplayer too

O_O you looked at your friends balls when "he" sat on your head O_o

at a friends birthday party a year ago, we were actually playing halo 2 cuz the party was on the release date, he rented an xbox and halo 1 and 2 but we ended up just playing 2, then i stayed for the rest of the day with him cus my parents were out of town and we played ce and i loved it even though i sucked alot, then i got an xbox h2 and combat evolved, but my dad kicked my xbox while halo was in it and broke the disk, i still havent replaced it though, lol
