5/5/04... was when Halo CE 1.0 came out.

I was in second grade, sneaking over to play Halo on xbox for the first time on my friend's xbox when his parents were gone. Halo's kinda been the one constant for the past 8 years, not in a depressing or wierd way but sorta a hobby I've never lost interest in over 8 years (o_O).

What were you doing then, and what changed?

Things were different back then for me. I was on a crappy computer, I was young, I was fairly new to being a part of any Internet based communities... I don't know how different things really are now but they do feel it. I can't even count all the bad user names I had over all these years due to my age, what I was into at the time, etc. It's funny to look back at that stuff.

The greatest thing I remember is seeing all the people working on content for Custom Edition back in the day. Seeing maps like Coldsnap, No Remorse, Portent, Yoyorast Island, Chronopolis, the multiplayer CMT maps, the H2 maps and the Area 5# maps release over time. That's the sort of stuff that caused PC gaming to capture my heart the way it has. It didn't matter if I had a bad PC as long as I had that. It all just seemed magical to me at the time. :P

Me neither. One and my posts still seem to be attributed to it. ;)

Something smells fishy...

Yeah Halo Combat Evolve and Custom Edition have been around a while.

I wish I got in on the Halo Combat Evolved scene earlier than I did so that I could have enjoyed Custom Edition and Combat Evolved in their prime.

I do remember some of my older friends, at the time, playing Halo Combat Evolved PC online for hours on end. But I never got to play with them, back then, because they wouldn't let me.

Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

Yeah Halo Combat Evolve and Custom Edition have been around a while.

And the best part is i don't think they will ever die.
There are dedicated servers everywhere still. Some have sat empty for years... yet they continue their tireless map rotation. Like silent guardians of times long past.

Halo CE forever!

Happy (late) birthday, Halo CE!

Been a player for six years now though ditched vanilla Halo completely and been playing only Custom Edition for couple years now. The days when you could easily find people fragging each other on great maps such as No Remorse and Wartorn Cove are long gone, but that hasn't stopped me from loving this game.
