Favorite memory: When Halo 3DST and Halo:Reach was announced, and when they would just keep announcing all these new and amazing features one by one. I love the anticipation for every game Bungie creates, and the marketing they do. Very awesome.

Favorite thing: The storyline. Its so huge now, it really is its own universe.

Favourite memory was in halo 2, playing Tower of power with my friends over systemlink and xbc

[Grunt1138]

My favorite memory would be the first time I played the game. My brother had tried to convince there was something better in existence than Nintendo 64, When I first experienced this so many bricks were shat we built a house.

My favorite thing is also half a memory, but its the ability to do it which made it so great. it was the good old days of system link, 16 people in a room, which meant if anyone was to rage quit, every one became a hater.

My favorite memory was when I was younger that I was at a relative's house and they were playing some game called Halo and he was blowing stuff up with a tank. Years later, I finally got a copy of Halo 2 and played the same mission. Right there I stopped and just completely remembered that whole moment of my childhood.

My favorite thing is Halo 3 multiplayer. Nuff said.

[Flamingcats]

My favorite memory of Halo was buying the original Halo and playing through it to see how it all started.

My favorite thing was in Halo 3 after you kill the Monitor and escape through all the explosions.

[Rez]

My favorite memory was the first time I started playing Halo. I got to The Library mission and was like O.O'

My favorite thing was superbouncing and getting out of the maps in Halo 2.

[Smore ninja]

My favorite memory was racing through The Maw on Legendary with either my sister or my cousin. So much chaos. Thinking about it; it might be a tie between that and Matchmaking with Riot. I don't know how but when we both play Reach it ends up being really ridiculous.

My favorite thing would be Custom Games.

My favorite memory of Halo? Wow big question, but I'd say it is the memory of getting a Xbox, and Halo CE, for Christmas 10 years ago. I remember it was snowing really hard that day and I had to work a night shift at the pizza place I was working for. I was so upset when I left to go to work while my two brothers stay behind to play. We instantly were mesmerized by the story line, the characters, and at the time, the graphics. So playing Halo for the first time is my fav memory. A close second woud be the all-nighters my friends and I would pull while playing 8 player CTF (before the Xbox Live days) on two linked up Xboxs. There is not a better way to spend your first summer after high school graduation than Halo all-nighters, and then off to work at 8am the next morning. Ah youth....

Favorite thing about Halo: Defiantly the multiplayer. Revolutionized multiplayer gaming for me. And split screen was where it was at back in the early days. Matchmaking took is to new heights and it continues for me 10 years later as my favorite multiplayer game by far.

Halo 2, as a present I was given an Original Xbox (limited Green edition) as a present (for my birthday or christmas) and on the box it said something about coming soon Halo 2. Ever since seeing that graphic I wanted Halo 2.

The day came when I got the game, that was a very fun day, week, month even. It came to the point where the campaign no longer satisfied me. I was gifted Xbox Live by my Mom, and my gosh, Xbox Live with Halo 2 was just too much for me. When I came home from school it was to just, play Halo 2 online match making. I made so many friends through match making.

TL;DR Halo 2 online definitely changed my video game career, giving me something to shoot for.



My favourite aspect of Halo is definitely the multi-player, playing with your friends is a blast, and has yet to be replicated in any game. Sure you can set up a party in a lot of other games (here's lookin' at you COD), but halo just has this feeling about it, friendly, unconventional, fun.


PS: If I'm too late to enter that's okay, the time I've spent in Halo is definitely a good enough prize for me.
