From the Update.
" I came to Halo late in the game, when my brother asked me to come over and play this amazing game on his 'Xbox' (huge black thing with controllers attached). At that time, the only other console games I'd played were Super Mario Brothers (remember that kids?), and Super Contra."
"I'm not kidding."
"So, to make a long story short, Halo hooked a 29 year old married guy, and I started getting together with my brother and playing co-op through the campaign levels (hence my love of the campaign gameplay to this day). After about a year, and after playing through the thing on Legendary so many times it became routine, our Thursday night campaign started slowing down. "
"We were hooked, and I was hooked bad. Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't stop bathing, grow ear hair (that much), or lose my family. It wasn't THAT bad, but still - I was loving this whole grenade + warthog thing."
Wow! That sounds exactly how i got started. Only I was 27 years old, and not 29.(I'm catchin you though...ha,ha) and I got Xbox and Halo @ Launch, not late,(The Bundle) I remember cause my Bundle didn't come with Halo. I was so upset, (I don't know why cause I hadn't had interest in a vid game in about 5 yrs. or so) so I went to a certain game store and asked if I could trade the 3 games my bundle came with for Halo? The guy felt so bad,(I played him like a violin in other words) That he took 1 game for an even trade! The rest is History. I turned 32 years old today.
Thanks Bungie for almost 5 Awesome Years of the greatest Video game ever made !
I'm only hoping there will be a new "greatest game ever" when Halo 3 launches.
