How did you get into Halo?

[xaero]

What brought you to the Halo games and when did you start?

I started with Halo CE back in 2002 when I went to a friend's house. I never heard of Xbox or Halo before that! We played campaign on the mission Assault on the Control Room and I was hooked!

When my older brother brought Halo CE home after launch. So I started at the outset. Been playing ever since.

Very nice! Did you start with campaign or multiplayer? When I first started playing all my friend and I played was campaign. I love all the different covenant soldiers. He always called the grunts piglets for some reason and that's always stuck with me

I started Halo 2 when I got my first Xbox around 2000. I played too late into the night when I had to work the next day. I had a real problem.

My first copy of halo ce was for pc. The multiplayer was so much fun back then! I still have my copy

When i was a kid i went to with my mom to a Walmart and i saw a add for master chief i think it was 4 but i saw him save marines and lead them ad i was inspired i didn't know what the game was until i saw my cousin own the game halo reach i asked if there was a green armored guy and then my cousin kind of info dumped but the thing that hit most was that when he told me that master chiefs name is john (my irl name is Jonathan and many people game me nicknames and jon)

Many, many, many moons ago in college, I was introduced to Halo at a LAN party. On weekends several of my friends would get together at another friend's place. He had a three bedroom and lived on his own. We would bring the xboxes over and set up tvs in each room and have a blast. I was terrible as I struggle with coordination on a controller but it was always fun anyway. I didn't play after college for a long time. Fast forward to about three or four years ago and a LOT of PC gaming later, I decided I wanted to learn to play shooter games on the PC so I could play more games with my husband. We dove into the Halo series to get me started. I have played the entire MC Collection as well as Infinity a few times over now and beat each campaign on legendary. I'm still not the best player ever but I'm WAY better on a keyboard than I ever was on the controller.

Christmas of 2005, my father bought me my first Xbox. The first game I opened was Halo CE. I grew up playing the series with each instillment getting me more and more invested within the franchise.

I came in to it backwards from 99% of everyone else. I came in from being a cosplayer for 35 years (Everything from Klingon to Farscape to The Expanse) and wanted to get into the armor after the TV series came on the air. I'm only just recently getting in to the games.

My oldest brother bought an Xbox with his very first paycheck, and it came with Halo CE. I was the youngest, so I got to watch my two older brothers play Halo co-op together. When they were off at vocational school, I would “secretly” play myself.


That carried on into Halo 2. Things changed with Halo 3, though – my second-oldest brother didn’t have as much time anymore, so I started playing co-op with my oldest brother. That’s when our relationship shifted into being true gaming buddies.


We didn’t really touch multiplayer until the 360 – up until then, it was pure co-op addiction. We played through every difficulty, and in Halo 3 we hunted down every single skull together. Those were the days.


When ODST and Reach came out, we always played the campaign together first, before either of us touched multiplayer.
Halo 4 and 5… I only played the campaigns and briefly tested multiplayer, but it never captured that Halo 3 feeling again.


We even had our Xbox 360 avatars decked out in full Halo style – sadly those are gone now, but it was such an epic time.


I really jumped back in again with Infinite and the MCC once it was finally “complete.”

That's awesome! I also bonded with my brother and my childhood best friend over halo! My avatar had the halo 4 chief armor that a buddy of mine got from e3 that year
