Subject: Five long years ago today....

It's been five long, and crazy years since Bungie released Halo 3. Think what you may of the game, but we all know it was the peek of our gaming lives.

So think back five years. To some, it may not have been all that long ago, to others, it was a different lifetime. Think back, and share what you were doing, and let's all congratulate Bungie on the birthday of Halo 3.

Halo 3 Longshore playable on Team Fortress 2 vids

I originally wanted to release Longshore map (For Team Fortress 2) today, but seems like I was impatient with the release date.

Happy 5th birthday, Halo 3.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I remember being so mad that it wasn't for the original Xbox at first. And the my brother and I got it, and all was good.

Wow. It's been that long?! Halo 3 is/was a great game.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

It kind-of makes me sad to think that 5 years has past so quickly. But I didn't get the game till the end of October. Do you know how hard it was to keep away from spoiling material. Everyone was talking about how it ended, and i had to cover my ears. (eyes on the net)

Can't wait to see what Bungie has up their sleve next. I know, I know....

It seems longer than 5 years to me.

It's still the best Halo, in my humble opinion.

Halo 3, in my opinion, has the best multiplayer in the Halo series. Definitely one of the best games of all time, if not THE best.

I dont know if it was the best, but I will definantly say that the multiplayer was the most fun.

That would be Halo 2, my friend.


Still, long live halo 3 and the mighty boom stick!

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,

Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I rented Halo 3 a couple of weeks after it came out. I rented it about 4 times before I decided to just buy the dang thing. I still have my original copy. It was used and in great condition.

Кланяються мені!

I remember being at work and being tortured that I was working until 11. Then I got off and got in line with my friends who had been holding position 1 for hours, waited for 45 minutes, then proceeded for an H3 all nighter where we completed Campaign on 4 player heroic via LAN.

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

It's been a lifetime. I used to listen to the podcast while playing in matchmaking. Really good times. I recently got back on Halo 3's maps recently. It still doesn't look outdated.

GOLD BARS MAKE ME RICH

Literally just yesterday I was feeling the nice fall weather and thinking about the first special Zombies playlist they had for Halloween and how excited I was to play it.

I was a different person 5 years ago, seems like a lifetime has passed.

Happy B-Day, Halo 3!!!

Still one of the best, even five years later!

I remember that game. It didn't even have sprint.

2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

I think it is the best Halo to date, in my opinion.

It was my first Halo and the reason I wanted an xbox. I used to play Halo 1 and 2 at my friend's house from when I was 6 years old until I was 10. Then I got Halo 3 and LIVE and my life changed.

Thank you for so many hours of fun and good times Bungie.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Wow, it does not feel like 5 years has passed.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Happy Bungie bday to H3. You were great.

A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!

I bought Halo 3...even though I didn't have a 360. Why? Because I wanted it to be the very first game I played when I got one.

  • 09.25.2012 2:46 PM PDT

And so the war of Gods and Demons shall begin. Tomorrow will end with your heart in my hand!

Love ya! =3

This takes me back. I still play Halo 3, but I remember the first time. My first time on Valhala, my first MP kill was on that map. I remeber the first time that I picked up the Spartan Laser (I almost wet myself). And the Campaign, when me and my cousin first Finished the Fight.
I still get choked up every time I watch the memorial cutscene.

I still can't believe it. It's been five years... Five long years... I'll still be playing it at ten.

Halo 3 will always be the greatest game that I have ever played.
Excellent work Bungie!
