There is just something magical about leaning your head back, letting your eyes roll into the back of your head, and taking a piss while floating in the swimming pool.

I was in college when the Xbox and Halo came out in 2001. For literally 18 months every weekend there were amazing lan parties of Halo on every floor of the dorms I was living in. We started playing around 6pm Friday night, and we played until some times into 6am Saturday morning. It....was.....awesome.

Then we all graduated and played together over the new Xbox Live via Halo 2, but one by one people dropped off by Halo 3. ODST ruined it for many and we lost more.

Finally Halo Reach came out and out of the 10-15 of us that played all the time together for years...I'm the only one left, and since Gears of War 3 came out I haven't touched Reach. In fact I think I might be done with Halo. Not sure yet.

Anyway, is there anyone out there from the "original guard" that are still playing Halo all these years?

Now day...wait...nvm i'm tired.

Yes, I still play Halo CE every now and then, PC too, to play some online fun:P

Fear the yellow snow

I remember when halo ce: came as xbox live DLC. I was at FOB Falcon in Iraq. It brought back some memories and playing 2v2 lan games with my boys during our downtime.......

When CEA comes out it will be the 3rd time ive bought the game, and probably the 100th time ive played through it.

And here I am.

Been here since CE, maybe not on Bnet, or even on xbl, but you bet your ass I've had and still have every Halo game. I'm pretty excited about H4

I have Halo PC, and I am also in a very active clan.

Does that count?

P.S. I feel the same on the whole Gears 3 deal. Once I buy the Mk VI, I am done with Reach.

The only problems I'd had with my friends was the inevitable "screen-scheating" excuse.

I swear I wasn't.

Harass the harassers.

Hi my name is plunderfuq and I have played entirely way too much Halo from the start of the series and most likely will continue too play for a long time.What we experienced with lan parties and what was the phenomenon that was Halo CE and Halo 2 will most likely never be duplicated.Good times,play if you feel like it,but if you are waiting around for it to be like that again,sorry there is too many people that what to discuss balance and net code rather than play Halo all night for fun,kinda a bummer.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I've played and beaten Halo 1 at a friends house, played almost completely through Halo 2 with him, but his disc was -blam!- up. Bought Halo 3, beat it. Rented ODST and beat it on easy, almost on Legendary (Missing 2 last missions and second half of NMPD:HQ) and now have Reach. :)

Yep. Halo CE was the first game I ever played on the Xbox. Now I have the 360, Halo CE on my hard drive, and Halo Reach in my disc tray.

Yeah, I remember CE lans and XBC. They were awesome.

  • 11.07.2011 8:46 PM PDT

I can hazz moar cR?!?!?!? O.o.... No, seriously, more cR would be appreciated.

I've played halo since the beginning, and Halo: Reach is my favorite multiplayer, although ODST had the best campaign in my opinion. Sue me, but I like Reach.

  • 11.07.2011 8:47 PM PDT

I wish there was a way to earn credits at a stupidly fast pace.

yeah man halo reach is dead, halo 3 is still kickn though and so would be halo 2 if it wasnt for the servers thing

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."
