We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. This is our Heaven, and our Hell.

I believe it will finally become what I have seen it as. While not completely comparible, I see it's fanbase and dense universe as the Star Wars of Video Gaming. It's come such a long way and has made so many people have fun with their friends. It has easily made the biggest cultural impact out of any video game.

Here is your chance to discuss how Halo has affected you, be it your interest and amazement in the story and universe itself, or your fascination of the multiplayer, and your countless hours spent there.

Finally, do you believe Halo has impacted video-gaming and the gamers themselves as much as Star Wars has impacted film?

Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach
Not really a trilogy. More like three games that take place outside of the main arc.

"I'd have to say Lockout was the worst"


I'm pretty sure that's heresy, and that it conflicts with the "Code of Manliness" - page 792, section E subsection D paragraph 3.2. I suggest you relay that statement.

To sum up how halo has affected my life would take a lot more time than I have at my disposal right now. I lived over-seas as a kid until 2000, so I never had the chance to see Bungie pre-halo.

When I first started playing Halo CE, split screen with "The Duke" which I hated, it was my favorite thing to do to get into the Scorpion and just shoot. The feel and sound of the artillary rounds were so perfect I could feel the rounds and the power therein. LAN parties were then introduced to me. With 2 Xboxes 12ft from each other linked with just a link cable I was hooked. The thought of playing against other players on another tv was revolutionary, addictive, and amazing. I had never before experienced anything like it. Later I progressed to 3 and 4 console LAN parties, at friends houses, my house, or any room big enough to haul Xboxes, tv's, controllers, and anykind of object able to be sat on into. Halo parties were an event everyone looked forward to.

The day before Halo 2 was released I doubled my school work so that I could dedicate the entire day of it's release to it alone. With in-game theatrics such as boarding Bungie continued to kick average multiplayer etiquette in the rump. With a graphics overhaul and finally being able to see my own feet in game I was sold on it from the very beginning. A friend and myself watched the rocket lanucher lock-on capability in awe. The saga continued not only in game but also in our hearts.
With Xbox live Halo 2 capitalized on mulitplayer as Halo CE had shown the potential of. Xbox live just game it the feet to run with. The first time I played on Xbox live on, believe it or not, an 8 in tv screen was amazing. I actually lost my first game and deranked my friend from a 6 to a 5 or something like that haha. I became an avid Halo player after that. BXR, RRRRX became some of my favorite game changers ever. Bungie unknowingly included 1337 bu770n C0m1305 for those who could master them along with super jumping and rocket lunging.
Halo 2 was also the only game that had me listening to my Xbox to hear if I was loading downloaded content on which I was sure to be modded. Warlock was the worst.

Halo 3, I remember when I watched the E3 trailer for the first time. The piano strings sang with extra significance that day before work. I sat astounded at the graphical improvement and began the longest and most painful wait of my life for the release of this game to end the trilogy of my childhood.
Since the moding issues were taken care of Halo 3 was the game I achieved a lvl 50. I spent hours on it.




I wish I had more time to continue but I don't. In conclusion many times has it been talked about how that Halo has been a part of my life as a whole. The past 10 years are flooded with Halo memories and many friendships have been made, maintained, and strengthened because of Halo. It is a generational staple and brings people together like no other video game I have seen. It's prime may be passing but "Back in the Day" Halo was THE game to play. Some of my best memories are because of Halo, and when I think back on it I don't regret a single minute of time spent playing any of those games. In Bungies' own words "It became a cultural phenomenon." I entered this phenomenon ignorant to who or what Bungie was and their goal of world domination, but the next phenomenon I enter with a long lasting friendship with Bungie. When I watch, O Brave New World, I feel like I've been a part of it and something much bigger than myself.

Thank you Bungie for the time and effort you put in to this game and your community, our community.

I wonder if that means the Halo movie series (if its ever made) will be longer.

Halo 3 was just amazing I can remember just going to school coming home and playing Halo 3 with all my mates for hours and doing exactly the same thing at weekends. I don't know anyone who doesn't like a halo game.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

The first time i played Halo was when inplayed Halo 3 at my friends, it was quit good fun. When Teach came out i went over to his again and played Reach and was convinced it was the greates thing since sliced bread, so i bought n xbox just for Halo. For the past hear i have been obsessed with Halo, completed all the games, play them all the time, collect toys, and im dying ti get the books

Wish i could say the same, i only know like 2 or 3 people who like Halo, and theyre the 'unpopular' ones. Most people i know hate halo to bits and always go on about how ghey and nerdy it is and how COD and Battlefield are better. Kind of annoying

I'm glad I was able to invoke such an emotional response from some of you. Halo is a big thing and I hope that more people stop to see this and give their input.
