I remember the first time I played Halo: Combat Evolved. I was at my uncle's house, and he was playing the game. The sights and sounds were like nothing I had ever seen or heard before in a video game and I just had to play it. My uncle and I fired up multiplayer and went head-to-head in a battle for supremacy. That was truly my first taste of competitive gaming. I mean, sure, I was pretty competitive with Goldeneye, but for me, that game paled in comparison. We ended up playing Halo well into the night, clocking in hours after hours of gameplay, and I still couldn't get enough.
Unfortunately for me my parents wouldn't let me buy an Xbox, or Halo, opting instead to buy me a Gamecube, which I still have to this day. My parents eventually bought me an Xbox 360 though. My first game was Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, and that game really got my competitive nature flaring up again, while also helping me gain back my dexterity and awareness. The second game I bought was Halo 3, and by the time I got that, I was totally ready to kick some serious ass.
The rest is pretty much history. I'm just a huge fan of Halo, and for me, it's the greatest FPS series of all time.
TL;DR...

It's been a long time since I last played a Halo game, but I played the first Halo when I was...oh 15. My folks were pretty strict about no M games before 18, but they made an exception about a year later for me. I have beat Legendary on all Halo games (except 4) and have clocked a TON of multiplayer hours. No, I'm not great at it, but I had fun.

I was in the same situation, which is why I was so happy when my uncle let me play Halo, haha. It was our awesome little secret. I've also beat every Halo game on legendary, except for Halo: Wars and ODST (I haven't had the chance to play either). I've beat all of them on legendary completely by myself, which is probably one of my proudest achievements. Heck, back in High School I would play a free online demo of Halo: CE in the computer lab ALL the time Wasn't the smartest idea, but eh, I was young.

As of right now, I own all of the Halo series other than Halo: Wars, and have to re-find my copy of Halo: Combat Evolved. Something about a RTS on a console seems weird to me, though in my stubborness to complete a series, I'll probably pick it up eventually. Also, I've also beaten each Halo on Legendary while playing solo. (Played through Halo3 multiple times Legendary with a partner also because my younger brother is just as good if not better than I.)
Overall, I love the games, and find myself to be pretty good at Multiplayer, though if I switch to another game (as I'm playing three different games right now on console, and another two on PC) it takes me a moment to get back into rhythm on Multiplayer.

Yeah, I know how that goes, Zephon. If I switch over to Call of Duty from Halo, it takes me a while to get used to the control scheme again and also to get used to the pace of the game and all that. When I switch back over to Halo I end up rushing a lot and have to tell myself to slow down. I don't mind though since it doesn't last too long. It also helps that I'm pretty competitive when it comes to gaming. Unless it's single-player or co-op games, then I just play to relax, have fun, etc. Though the competition is also part of the fun for me.

I waited out in the cold for 3 hours, on release day, so my friend could get his copy of Halo 4. It was not fun.

Halo: Reach SWAT is amazing as well. Well, the whole game is amazing I prefered Reach's SWAT because of the DMR. I mean, it's all about getting a single-shot kill to the head, and a single-shot weapon is so much cleaner and fits so much better than the BR did.

Huh wondered when a halo thread would start. I for one luvs me some halo. I own every single one of them from halo wars up to Halo 4 and beat them all on legendary except for halo wars! Granted I was never the best at it, always an average player when it came to online, but it was always loads of fun playing with siblings and friends never the less. I have found memories of linking up xboxs and tvs in a single room and playing halo 1 and 2 from one day to the next almost non stop with friends when we would have game nights during our middle school and high school breaks. I remember the first time playing halo too. It was at a small EB games store in a mini mall. Me and my brother waited in a 6 person line to play a demo and it was AWESOME! Me and my bro played The Truth and Reconciliation and The Silent Cartographer levels and my little 10yr old mind was forever hooked on halo. A few months later my parents got us an xbox and a copy of halo and the rest is history. Ill just leave this here too.
