Over this past weekend, well friday 8pm until sunday 11:15pm. Me and my buddy beat the game on legendary twice. Then dominated it on normal. (We beat it in 3:04 hours. I don't know if that is concidered fast, a little feedback would be appreciated.) Plus I had a lan and we played multiplayer for about 7 hours. THeir was only 4 people playing the on our lan cause we started at like 11pm sat. So alot of 1 on 1's. On average i beat the game on legendary at least once if not twice a week and bust out about 20 hours of multiplayer. Is this concidered accessive play, or do others share my passion?

I am an extreme Halo fanatic.

Many times, my friends get together for an all-night LAN party. One time, 4 of a group of 12 or so, stayed up playing Halo non-stop for 12 hours (+ or - 15 min) then woke everybody else up and took time to eat breakfast, then played for another hour, before we had to break for work. I have read all 3 books at least 5 times through (the whole series 5 times), and beat the game approx. 20 times in each difficulty. (SEE, I HAVE THIS REALLY STRONG FEELING TO FILL UP THE BOTTOM ROW, WHERE IT SHOWS THE DIFFICULTY RATING YOU'VE BEAT, AND WE SWITCHED HARD DRIVES 2 TIMES, AND MADE NEW CHARACTERS SEVERAL TIMES, TOO.) On top of all that, I suffer withdrawal symptoms after more than a week of not playing (dreaming of being MC, thinking about it often) and have probably spent more than 500 hours on it each year. An average of 80 minutes each day = say a 1/2 hour each day + LAN parties twice a month. BEAT THAT.

I own all the Halo novels and have read TFOR five times, The Flood six times,and First Strike seven times. Then when I'm not reading the books I'm playing Halo. I have owned Halo since Dec. 03', and have beaten the game around three-hundred times. Right now the only difficulty I play on is Legendary. I would say I get in around five to seven hours of play per day, and yes, like any other hardcore Halo fan, I play multiplayer with my friends. It's always alot of fun. Plus I have alot of Halo drawings, because when I'm not reading about Halo, or playing Halo, I like to draw Halo art. I know I sound pretty pathetic, but what can I say, I love Halo. Halo is the first and only game to ever takeover my soul and captivate my mind, and I have no doubt that Halo 2 will fail to do the same.

Man I love halo as much as the next person but its getting boring playing it over and over Man I cant wait till # 2 Ive mastered Halo now going for # 2

heres a list of some mastering I did you gotta try out
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Melee attack and grenades only on all modes pillar of autom--( Note its hard as hell on legendary it took 1 hour )

2) Get gold elite to jump off ledge on AOTCR without shooting or blowing up him

3) kill hunter with 1 shot on every level and mode

4) Clear all secrets and Level skips in game

5) Get Secret Banshee

6) Kill all Enemies in game on every mode and I mean everyone----(note took 2 hours on each level to kill every enemy on legendary)

7) Get on the bottom of the Maw

8) get banshee in the maw--( note this took 8 hours you gotta kill all enemies in room with generators and i mean all then go to where echo 419 blows up get ontop of turret hop in the moving bashee that has no one in it)

9) beat game on easy in 2 hours
beat game on normal in 2 1/2 hours
beat game on heroic in 4 hours
beat game in Legendary in 6 hours
(note 1 player only)

10) Go through easy without a scratch that mean dont loose health but you can loose the shield just dont loose bar health at al or youll have to restart the level

11) Good Luck this will probally take forever for you but it wil pay off because you went through something called Grunte Trainging wich I just made up otherwise your good for Halo 2 and are ready for the highest mode probally not likely if you had problems on it
