Started my gaming career on an N64, blowing up stuff with StarFox and jumping through paintings with Mario.
Progressed to a GameCube; endless hours battling with Link on Super Smash Bros (Up B = win)
Got my xbox...played Halo. Instantly became a "fanboy" God knows how many hours finding every glitch, easter egg, and "omfgdidyouseethat" moment. From there, I was helpless. Battled through Halo 2 (freaking out when the screen turned black after "Finishing this fight...."), went to the midnight release of Halo 3, ODST, and Reach.
I guess the thing that kills me is that I see "my" series get trashed? I come on here whenever I have time, and I see people bickering about pointless crap...Trolling one another, complaining that Bungie somehow betrayed us...I just don't get it. Reach, I'll admit, could've been better. But it was still a Halo game, and that was enough for me.
I've jumped on the rooftops of sniper alley on legendary, been killed by those damn auto-turrets outside of the Control Room, listened to the hysterical raving of 3 suicidal marines...I've 4-shotted 50's, been t-bagged by recruits, and screamed in frustration over being betrayed for grabbing the sniper rifle...and I couldn't be happier about it.
Call me whatever you want, but I'm one of those gamers who is starting to look back at Halo and wish I could do it all again. College, girlfriend, work, internship, all of these responsibilities adding up that takes me away from my xbox...Makes me hope that whatever is left in this franchise is enough to bring back that old magic.
Random, I know, but I figured if anyone else felt this way/understood, it would be you guys. Cheers
