FYI... TEA AND CRUMPET JOKES GOT SO OLD SUCH ALONG TIME AGO... GET SOME NEW ORIGINAL CONTENT YOU GEEK

I was never a computer person as a kid. I had consoles and an old PC at my mums house but never really bothered with them. One day my dad bought our first PC and I started playing Pc games from then on out, then 1 year after that I saw a game called Halo 1, my life had changed! This was something so new and amazing I knew from that day that this was going to be apart of my life forever! I played everyday for hours and hours and even missed school on a few occasions just so I could sit there and play with a group of friends I met while playing Halo 1. No one around me played Halo let alone any PC game for that matter so it was important to me to find people who enjoyed the game as much as me. I met 2 lads by the name of T.c and Bigstew and from then on it was all about Halo! We rinsed, raped and reloaded for years with no sign of stopping and it was amazing.

Then I bought the best console ever! THE XBOX ORIGINAL! Halo 1 on that console opened my eyes to a world of 16 player LAN I'd go to my friends house and we would hang a HUGE ethernet across the street, over the phone lines and through the bedroom windows with 2 tv's, 2 Xbox's and 8 players in each house and me sat there with my keyboard and mouse on a my lap. We played all the time, even for over 24 hours at a time and we all shared this major fixation with Halo. The good times just rolled on and on!

Then came Halo 2. Now I know that Halo 2 is by far the best Halo ever! But here's the disappointing part (as such) I stayed on Halo PC because my friends on the PC were to good to leave behind so I pretty much missed most of the multiplayer glory of Halo 2 for the most part but I still played it (but wasnt very good, even with my keyboard and mouse.)

Along came the 360 and then Halo 3. On the morning of release I raced to GAME and bought over £300 worth of Halo 3 gear, including that legendary helmet. Again. My life had changed! Nothing could ever compare to the intense excitement and joy when I ripped open the case and slammed the game in the disc drive for the first time. I started the campaign and felt lost to be honest. CONTROL PADS! The Xbox 360 unlike the Xbox original didn't have mouse and keyboard compatibility which left me at a complete loss. My aim was rusty, fingers confused and my heart almost broken by the fact that so many people winged and moaned about the keyboard and mouse being unfair that they took it out altogether. I played 90% of my Xbox original games with a controller and other than my PSX I didn't use pads. I used a mouse and keyboard for both my Dreamcast and Xbox original. Anyway. As time went on I got used to the idea of a pad and became quite good. Again for hours and hours a day I played Halo 3, now leaving my friends on PC behind. For months I would never see another game played on my Xbox 360, life was great! Some of my closet friends were found in Halo 3's universe (And most of them I still haven't met) So by now I'd probably spent more time in the Halo world than the real world.

The next few years passed and ODST is ready for me to get my hands on. I completed and smashed the back doors out of that game so so fast and again, I loved it! WOW! Firefight! I've got to get me a piece of this! Although ODST didn't last long I did however manage to get to number 1 in the world with 3 friends on the Halo charts leaderboards with 11 million+. THEN THE UNTHINKABLE! Our score was removed! Yes! those God damn choppers! We were so upset by this be boycotted Halo ODST and we have never played it since.

Then the moment we where all waiting for! HALO:Reach! A whole new Halo experience all together! Again, the campaign got destroyed, firefight annihilated, achievements bashed but I was won over. I HATED it and still do to a certain degree, I very rarely play Halo reach online and if I do its just a few days/week stint and then I'm bored. I have played alot as my service record shows but that because all my friends play alot and I like to play with my friends but I'm still not satisfied with the game, for Bungie's Halo game I was expecting wet pants material but instead I felt like Bungie had just thrown everything and anything in there to get copies sold. For me Halo is a truly unique game and if you're a Halo player you always will be, with Reach however that wasn't the case. Soon enough I saw less people on Halo and my friends list just showed Call of duty all over it. Being truthful I followed for a very very short period of time as I just did not want to play reach but felt like I was betraying the world of Halo so to speak, so I went back and gave it another go. I started to enjoy it more once newer playlist's had been introduced, Team classic for starters. You mean I can start with a Needle rifle and not that horrid DMR. SWEET! Wait what?! No armor abilites?! Laughin! But still even now I'm not 100% satisfied with Reach.

Now 343 have just taken over and they make my head explode! HALO ANNIVERSARY! OMMFG! The goosebumps ran through my body! but for now lets stick to Bungie.

I've sat here today waiting for the last Vid:doc and after watching it I truly felt like I was losing something big in my life. I sat there and truth be told felt a little tearful with a little lump in the back of my throat.

The ending to my story goes like this.

Bungie, you and Halo made my life what it is today without you I could not imagine where I would be. I've spent the best years and met the best of friends while on Bloodgulch, Sidewinder, Narrows and Guardian and that's all thanks to you. Yes you have disappointed me at times and yes there have been times where I just wanted to put Halo away forever but after watching that Vid:doc today none of that matters.

I truly believe I am losing a near and dear friend.

And with that said I wish you the very very best of luck with the future of Bungie and with which ever path you follow.

You have finished the fight and will never be forgotten.

This is Spartan D20 signing off.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

We need more threads like this one. Bravo, sir.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

START ANOTHER FIGHT!

Uh, is that "raped" or "raped"?

OT: I don't realy have much to say here, although Halo has meant alot to me too I've shifted twords PC games (Garry's Mod).

Wrong forum.

I think we're being a little more lenient than usual today. I don't speak for the ninjas, but that seems to be what's happening.
