I believe I was 20. I remember it was a couple months after 9/11. It was most definantly a welcome hiatus from all the worries and stress swirling all around the world. I recall my friends 20th b-day was on 11/17 but we pitched in and got him an X-box and Halo a couple of days before his b-day. There are a few moments that really stuck out in my mind. 1.)Trying to get the hang of driving the Warthog I didnt get that it steered towards where you were looking. 2.)The Library level trying to figure out where the rockets were coming from... I still remember that one darn flood in the shadows with the rocks. 3.)The first time I got my hands on a tank *ownage* 4.)FINALLY killing those elites before they got into their banshees (I believe I held onto a sniper rifle for a long time to kill em) and then I just used the rockets to knock the banshees off the ledge. 5.)Realising the Mag OWNED 6.)Last but not least answering ads in the paper to attend lan parties. God bless those old Mad Cats lan hubs. (I still have the green cat-5 cables that came with them)
