Lawl Tural.

The first time I played Halo, I got scared of getting to close to the Covenant. It would take me ****ing hours to get past two hunters on legendary ... and then I would end up sneaking past them because shooting 1 bullet every 20 minutes didn't work out too well.

I saw it on g4, on the old show called "filter", it was a "top 10 anything" show that had different subjects every time. that day they were doing top ten vehicles in games and the warthog won! I thought that car looked so f***ing fun to drive. so I while i was on vacation in denver i stayed at this one dudes house and he had an xbox with no games, so i went to hollywood video to rent a game and i saw halo and remembered how much i wanted to play it. so i rented it and it totally has been the best game ever since!!

The Beginning (Halo 1)
Well, back in 2003, when I was in the 5th grade, I watched my Step-Father play this "Halo" game. I would watch him play it every once in a while. Now back then, I used to only play Nintendo 64 games and Playstation 2 games, so I had never played the "Xbox". At the time though I was really into the Goldeneye game for the N64. I was used to only one joystick, which on Goldeneye was the moving and the aiming. So my Step-father had beaten the game, and he never played the Xbox anymore, so I tried out this "Halo" game. Man I LOVED it. It took me a long time to beat the game, because I was scared of the first encounter with the flood, and I always got lost trying to find my way back into the swamp. But later, I grew some balls (Not really, as I was a 5th grader...) and had some patience to beat that Guilty Spark level. When I beat it, I was SO Happy!! But then The Library came... I was pissed off, because the Monitor kept saying "Please wait here until I return" and then 20 combat + 10 carrier forms would start coming out of holes in the walls, and I would keep dying. Well I finally beat the game, as I was actually pretty swell at the game at the time. Except that one part... The warthog run... It was so hard!! I couldn't beat it, it took me like 10 trys to finally beat it.

Halo 2
I finally got Halo 2 for Christmas of 2004. What a joy that was. I was in the 5th grade still. I cant really remember much on this except I was amazed at driving the wraith and being able to use the sword. One part I do remember though, is trying to beat that "High Charity" map. I was scared of it. "Again a flood map" and I couldn't beat it. I refused to play the level for a week or so, but I wanted to see the ending of Halo 2. So then I finally played through, beat the last mission (Man Tartarus was hard, If it wasn't for Johnson telling me "I got is shields down, shoot him!" I would have never figured out how to beat him.

Halo 3
Well sometime in August 2007, My Xbox 360 had gotten the "3 Red Rings Of Death" Which ended up me getting a working Xbox 360 on October 5th. Which meant... An even longer delayed Halo 3 wait.... But yeah, I finally got my Xbox 360 back, I popped in Halo 3, played the campaign... It really made me unhappy, it was too boring/no thrill. But the Multiplayer makes up for that.

Well, thanks for reading my Halo story, why not take some time and post yours?

2001 X-mas day. It was the first FPS shooter I played. First thing I ever shot was a grunt in its head.

I never had an xbox before I got my 360 *then bought 3 xbox1's right after* but I was over a friends house played Halo 1 for a very short while. We dident even get any kills.

The second time was a few years later and it was Halo 2 on zazibar, I just raped everyone (4 people playing, got a Killtact like ever time)

Then after that I found Halo CE and the Halo2CE maps or whatever they are called. Then I got a 360 with H3 and H2. So yea. Superbounce on BSP Conversions ftw.

All summer of 2001, I did chores for my parents and saved up all the money I got. Bought an Xbox and Halo not long after they were released that year.

I saw the PC version at the store when it came out. Bought it, played it, loved it. I'd played the Xbox version prior to the PC version when it came out, but I didn't like it.

I honestly had never heard of it until 2003. Played it at a friend's house on his birthday, bought it for PC the week after.

And then I discovered this site a few months later...

teh epick stroy

I literally grew up on video games. At the age of two, I was an avid Marathon player, and had the balls to play through the first few levels on Total Carnage. I loved Bungie with all my heart.

Skip to 2004. I was in fourth grade, and was at my friend's house. After playing some Super Smash Bros. we went on his computer, and he was on this level called the Library. He was bashing some flood and it looked fun so I started on The Pillar of Autumn. The WASD keys felt weird compared to me using the arrow keys for Marathon, but I had a blast playing the first level.

At Christmas, I asked my dad for Halo for the mac. Our computers were updated to G4's and G5's, so they could run it. I played through the whole game on easy over a few weeks. I remember being so excited by Assault on the Control room, I woke up my dad at 3:00 AM I was so excited.

So I beat the game; I thought, "What now?" I decided I'd look at the multiplayer maps. Mind you, I thought all games were like Marathon: No games except on LAN. So I started up Ice Fields (because I saw the bridge and hoped a banshee was on the map) and a guy joined. He shot me and I fought back. I won. This started a long, long time where I would kill anyone who dared join my games.

Skip to April, 2005. A guy named "I Am Jack" joins my game. He says "Ooooh, look at the pelicans." I asked "Where?" and he said to go to Halomods. I lurked for several months over the summer until deciding to join.

I was a total noob who did a bunch of Dependancy Swaps, but that was it. Skip months and months ahead. Around the time of the forum merge, my Halo skill had grown, in multiplayer and modding. I had just learned to hex, and started a little mod called "Ragnarok" because I read it in the Halo novels about one of the names for the end of the world and wanted to show off my new hexing skills. I was good friends with I Am Jack; we had video chatted and were still great friends, playing unmodded and modded games together. Halo 2 was an out of reach wonder to me; how could people not like it? It looked so cool. Well, my parents wouldn't get me an Xbox and none of my friends had one.

Time passed. I released Ragnarok V2 and it got outstanding, and I owned and multiplayer. Then, one day in the summer after sixth grade, I saw Halo 3's announcement trailer. The hype had started, and I was a full-fledged participant. Then I learn my friend had sold his Playstation 2 for and Xbox 360 core system and got a memory card. I was overjoyed; we could play Halo 2 together before Halo 3 came out, right?

Wrong. My friend got a damn core system, with no hard drive, so we couldn't play Xbox original games. So we waited.

Halo 3 came out. By chance, we were able to buy it the day it came out, and managed to beat it on normal in a few weeks on coop. I owned him on local, but he didn't have LIVE. Christmas came, and then we both got it. My skill grew more rapidly than his on LIVE, even though I played less.

Eventually, my birthday came, and my parents gave me a 360 with its own hard drive for working so hard in school. I got Halo 2 and played everything. I know everything I want about Halo 1, 2, and 3, and am content with my position.
