How Long Have You Been Playing Halo?

[General PWNFACE]

One thing I've always wondered when I get matched up against people in matchmaking, is exactly how long those people have been playing Halo for and what was the first game they ever played. It always brings back good memories when I think about when I first started playing and just rushed with whatever version of the AR there was, and thinking of what a noob I was. I personally first played Halo: Combat Evolved when it first came out in 2001, but at the time I was only 8 and thought it was stupid because I was so horrible at it, but I eventually got interested in it again when I got into High School and I regularly played Halo 3 with people from my school after school every chance I got. I guess to end it I just want to ask two questions...

 

How Long Have You been playing Halo and what was the first game you played?

[Destroyaaa]

About 2002. A friend of mine got an Xbox and halo and we would just play coop missions all day along with my brother and his brothers. I then bought an xbox when halo 2 came out, played halo ce for a while, and then started playing halo 2. The rest is history.

i first played it in 2002 when my friend bought an xbox. I fell in love and played every game since.

[RaptorUnbound]

I played the very first Halo when it came out... was staying at my grandma and grandpa's house and when i woke up my grandpa and brother were playing Halo CE

Wow... 10 years. 10 long years of wonderful Halo enjoyment. Started with CE playing at a friends house, when Halo 2 came out, got an Xbox for Christmas that year, along with the game. Been hooked, and can't wait for Halo 4 now.

When I was about 5 or 6 we got our first XBOX (original one) and Halo 2. We loved it so much. We played the campaign until we wore out the disc and now it don't work

You gotta play Halo 2. Best campaign ever

[italus]

9 years halo 2 was the best IMO

[MCPO Mayh3m]

I played a long time ago, back in 2002 or 2003. I was captivated of the style of game, because I had never played a game like this before. All I had ever played was Mario or games like that on the Nintendo. I wanted to play again.. but the next time I got to play, it was Halo 2 at a friends house.

 

I instantly fell in love with the game and I wanted to play it more and more. My friend eventually sold me his Xbox and his Special edition Halo 2 game with the platinum case with a blue 2 on the cover. I cherished that game and then suddenly heard about MLG, I wanted to make a team and go to a competition in Charlotte. But that didn't happen... Xbox 360 was released.. I knew Halo 3 was coming out the following year and wanted to prepare because I knew MLG would swap to the game. I got 360 for Christmas, and also a brand new copy of Halo 3. IT was the greatest thing I have ever played besides Halo 2.

 

From there, no other game has ever come close to the Halo CE - 3 games.

 

That is the story of how my Halo addiction began. :unworthy:

[Mr. Bashful Brute]

Technically, I've been playing since about 2004. That's when I first played it at a friends house. Up until 2011, I had been playing off and on at friends' houses. But in August 2011, I finally broke down and bought myself an Xbox (and copy of every Halo game) of my own.

[Zuko 'Zarhamee]

I first played a little bit of Halo 3 at one of my friends house. I got the Pc versions of Halo CE and Halo 2 (too bad that the Halo 2 one only let's me play half of the game). I got a 360 earlier this year, along with Halo 3 and Halo Reach.

[Anarchy]

About 10 years...

[DoctorB77]

Around late 2009

Lets see... it was my little brother who brought home his first Xbox and CE one week after release. Watched him play a few missions and left the house, came back 30 minutes later with my own controller... so... it was Octoboer or november 2001 I started. Attended a few LAN's for CE, participated after I saw three, then the great information collapse from bungie.net lost the records (I still shake my fist in anger. lol). Halo 2... I was one of the people who wanted my pistol back and signed up on halo2sucks.com, that site is down now...

 

So yeah, late 2001, one week after release.

[FIREN4]

Ever since Halo 3: ODST came out. After I had got an Xbox, my friend recommended I buy it. And so I did, 'was hooked ever since!

[Android 17i]

My first Halo game was actually Halo 3 when it came out, loved it so much but hardly understood it so I played CE and Halo 2, and fell in love with the series. Have to admit my first favourite character was the Arbiter, always thought the marines were were calling me the 'Spartan' when I was playing as Arbiter XD lol

[l Xenoes l]

I don't remember exactly. It was shortly after Halo CE came out for the Xbox. Played it at a friends house then got an Xbox and Halo 2 when it was released, and I've been playing ever since then. One of the best game series I've ever played by far.
