2 of my best friends and many others I met playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I met alot of friends playing Halo 1/2 local tournaments and LANs. Halo's a great game with the best social community following it IMO.
-
I met most of my best friends playing in halo turneys in my town : ).
-
Hmm, I have met some guys whom I have become really good friends with. I'll be traveling across the globe to meet them in a year, or so.
-
Some of my greatest friends are on Halo 3. Well... Pretty much my only friends too, but that's beside the point.

1st Page! lol
-
I met a large group of people online during halo2. After a long while alot of us met up at alton towers park and thats where 2 of them met and are now married lol.
-
I met my first girlfriend on Halo Working on a small country...almost there.
-
In the company where I work, many of the engineers play halo 3 on a regular basis. Since I work off-site, booking a meeting in 'Guardian' instead of 'Meeting room A' doesn't sound like a bad idea :)

I've got a friend I met on Halo 2 in '05, we still play Halo 3 to this day. In addition, Halo was a way I could keep in touch with my friends after I moved away. It's really great being able to frag each other just like we used to. I've also met a lot of new friends after I moved here at LAN parties. [Edited on 01.03.2008 9:22 AM PST]

Well, I've met plenty of people through Bungie.net.. Some of which I'm actually teaming up with in game development. (on the professional level) Halo has gotten me LOTS of good friends. :D Nothing to amazing, though.
-
I'm currently employed by the local libraries setting up a tournament for halo 3. Once that tournament begins ill then be working on another one for a local business. Thanks to halo I've jump started my career into gaming! Little though it may be, a little experience is better then none! That aside halo has kept me in touch with many friends i know mostly online. IMing each other back n forth is one thing, but fragging the crap out of one another is far more rewarding. [Edited on 01.03.2008 9:20 AM PST]

I used to live in the East of England and had some good friends there but when I moved to the West, I couldn't see them much. When we finally got broadband and an Xbox it was Halo 2 that kept me and my friends in contact really well. It's better than being on the phone because you're not only talking; you're also sniping someone or driving a Warthog or sneaking about carrying a bomb. So Halo kept old friends together (and still does with Halo 3) For Halloween this year I decided to stay in with my girlfriend and it was a case of do I pay attention to Halo 3 or my girlfriend. Well it was Zombie playlists so I was like "screw that, it's Halo time" so I'm sitting there pressing buttons and playing with my stick and my girlfriend decides I look sexy in my headset (I can't understand how that works) and starts doing unspeakable things to my love injection. I couldn't concentrate on the game all that much but it was worth it. [Edited on 01.03.2008 9:29 AM PST]

My friend met a girl playing Halo at a party. They went out for a week. lol
-
i've never met my girlfriend on Halo or Playing Halo, but let me tell ya, Halo 3 is a good excuse to get a girl up to ur room;) and it works!
-
Throughout high school I met a lot of people who I would of otherwise never have talked to.
-
I got my girlfriend into Halo around a year ago and now it's all we play really.

I actually had an epiphany within my first 15 minutes of playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I realized that any person under the age of 16 with access to the internet is a closed-minded, over-aggressive, vacuous imbecile that will try to convince me of their own superiority in terms of video gaming skill or life experience (or my lack thereof) when given the opportunity to communicate with total strangers while concealing their own person identity. I was also informed by a young man from England that I should be fully respectful of him because he invented the language that I speak.

Alright here is my story. I went on a job interview, and the interview was going real great, and we were going over my life highlights. So at the end of the interview the guy says "At my very first job interview, the interviewer asked me this question, and I loved it so much that I use it in every interview I have given. It's nothing big, nothing serious. What is your greatest accomplishment?" Now at this point the interview was real casual and we had gone over all my accomplishments, and I said.... "Well this isn't serious, but last night I worked real hard and gained a rank in Halo 2." He looked at me puzzled and I said "It's a video game....and you play against other people, and I did real well last night." So we end the interview and a little over a week goes by. The temp agency calls me and says "You didn't get the job, you went in there and started talking about video games....that was stupid." I was a little floored by this, and the temp agency girl even told me that I need to learn how to handle myself in interviews and that they could no longer represent me. Apparently this guy looks down on people who play video games. The book "Everything bad is good for you" came out around then in the book it talks about how video games are a social experience now and are excellent cognitive experiences. The guy who wrote the book did a signing and I went and bought two copies. One for myself and one for the interview guy. I sent it to his office, and oddly enough I never got a thank you letter back.

3 Days after halo2 came out, I got xbox live. I met 2 people at first that I still talk to today. As the days went by I met more and more people, whom of which I still know today. About 3 months later I met this girl, and shes amazing. It had turned out that she had lived in my state (lucky me.) So all in all halo2 was great, and I'm hoping to meet more and more people in halo3. Although I'm kind of busy with the 87 people I met, and still hang out with as we speak today on halo3. Thanks alot for the game, it helped my depression out alot. *Its my antidrug* lol.
