Do you remember what levels you played, or did you just pick up the controller and just play.

I was at my friend's house and he put it in. I hated first person shooters, so really, I didn't think I was gonna like it. I loooved it. I played on normal slayer on Blood Gulch, which to this day remains my favorite map. It was the game that got me liking first person shooters.

Uhm. As usual the friend who beats the game puts it in late at night with the lights turned off and plays 343 GS. My friend did this with me and I was hooked with it immediately. The amount of gore and blood and death that game put out made my head want to explode but I wouldn't allow it because I wanted to play the rest.

Let there be CHAOS!

i went to a friend's house and they were playing this game called Halo.
So i picked up a controller. about 5 minutes later, i put the controller down. i got owned and didnt have any fun. i remember it was on blood gulch and after i quit they started doing stunts and i was like "sweet!" but then another friend had arrived and already picked up my controller.....so i just kind of sat there and watched them lol. it was pathetic

at that point i had never really played an FPS (besides duke nukem 3d lol... good ole duke..) especially with a controller. i was SO bad its not even funny.

here's a timeline (sort of) of my halo skills improving..:

1. played for the first time...sucked horribly.
2. then i played halo a little more and still sucked.
3. then halo 2 came out. and i sucked at that too.
4. then i bought halo for pc which i was okay at...
5. but then i started getting good at HPC.
6. then i tried halo 2 again...got a little better.
7. became the ownage of halo pc
8. played halo 2 again ... was a little better
9. eventually got an xbox and bought halo 1 and 2
10. got real good at both
11. stopped playing them for a while and only played halo pc
12. went back to playing halo 2 on xbl-- sucked again
13. quickly got better again
13. here's where i stand

so as you can see, i slowly improved in all 3 games at the same time lol. and all this is over the course of about 2 years.

I remember the first time I played 343 GS and I was playing, then a Cut scene came up and it said something about play.....so I pressed the A button thinking I had to and it obviously got rid of it then I see "The Flood, then i see these popcorn creatures coming towards me. I was like wtf, when if I played the damn cut scene i would of said omg.

Good times.....(tear tear)

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

343 Guilty spark, when i started the level, I was feeling awesome to beat Assault on the control room, so i went through the swamp, i thought all that was normal, thinking that marines and covenant were giving eachother hell, when i approached the building, i saw the gunfire and huge explosion, I was like: ok..... wierd. Then when i saw all the blood i was like, boy those marines overdid the job alot, I then saw the crazy marine, I was like, wtf.....Monsters turning humans into covenant? I saw the flood blood, and was like what the -blam!-...I then saw the video.... when the flood broke through, and infected everything, my heart started thumping harder, then....horror washed me as the flood came in from everywhere... I saw the infected elite and was like "OMGWTF is that?!" I saw the infected humans, and was like, "AAAAAAAHHH ZOMBIES" and then gradually got more scared, once i went up the elevator, the marines greeted me, i said "thank god" i watched in horror as my marines slowly got infected and few were left, we reached this large structure, and these robots started helping us, I was like, "this day gets wierder and wierder" then, the library cutscene started and put me on a long and repetitive flood p00ning journey....

I remember going to my friend's birthday party, and I'd been hearing about Halo a lot but I hadn't played it until then. Everyone there was trying to jump the warthog over the big gap where the light bridge comes out, and falling down the chasm every time. Finally they gave the controller to me and I got out of the warthog much to thier dismay, and walked up the ramp on the side, killed an Elite (it was not on a hard difficulty) and went and turned on the light bridge. Going across that transparent beam of light over the (seemingly) bottomless chasm was scary.

My first thought is I really really like the rocket launcher.
Second thought was the rocket travled too slow.
Thrid thought was this could possibly be the best game ever.
Now and probably will still be my favorite game of all time.

-Was in the 6th grade when Halo came out.
-Played it at a friend's house...the grunts looked like monkeys to me....I hated it.
-Next week, played multiplayer....I thought it was alright.
-3 years later...bought an Xbox and Halo.
-Became the pwner of Halo in the neighborhood.
-Bought Halo 2....was dissapointed in the games foundation of physics and stability.(texture "poping")
-Condemned Halo 2 to hell...gave away the game.
-Drifted away from Halo for a year or two.
-Now back playing Halo 1 on the 360.
-Now back to my Halo 1 pwning self.

-PS-Don't let H3 suck...being the last Halo...it should not. Come on Bungie!

all i remember was trying to drive the damn warthog, all i did was moan about the driving controls, i think we spent about 30 mins trying to get over the light bridge without falling off. After a few hours play, i finaly realised the driving controls were BRILLIANT

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

The things I remember are thinking that an overcharge shot from a plasma were from shade turrets.... I didn't find out how to overcharge the pistol until a few levels in... =(

The other memory was 'OH DEAR GOD' on first seeing the Flood ;)

EDIT
I've just realised that one of the Halo 3 avatars isn't from the trailer...

The only reason I bought an Xbox was for Halo. I play nothing else. And yes the level that freaks me out the most is 343 Guilty Spark. I love the cut scene. My faveorite level is The Silent Cartographer. Its absolutely awesome when you and the marines invade the Covie infested beach. So cool.

Carrots.

Like most other people, I went to my friends house and he popped the game in, and we played Co-op on Keyes.
I imediateley got Halo, and I saw that Keyes would die anyway, so I shot him witht he pistol he gave me and than I felt like a complete idiot.

The first time I played Halo, I played two-player missions.. When I got to the 2nd level with the Warthog, and one of us was driving with the other gunning, that's pretty much when i crapped my pants..
