So heres my story I started playing Halo 2 through xbl as soon as it was released, I played online with a few of my school mates, After awhile we met some people and became friends with quite a few of them. I later became really good mates with one of them. While playing Halo 2 we learned how Most of the america popualtion is completely retarded and has no idea how the world works! After this we stopped playing Halo 2 as there we too many cheaters and Americans to put up with. In 2006 i Had a rough break up with my GF, My mate which i met on xbl was there to help me (That sounds kinda -blam!-) as I lost most of my RL friends thanks to the fact that my ex is a complete and utter whore! We looked foward to Halo 3, which turned out to be not that great of a game and i would rather play COD 4 since i dont want all that Host crap that Halo 3 offers! Thanks to Bungie doing nothing to fix their broken Game! Thanks to my mate for sticking by me and teaching me how to abuse and completely use Women

It's not love Some people i kinda know just happen to stop by one day to uh... not do something illegal. So i started up a little halo 3 now they wont stop comeing back to play more and more o.o they show up everyfew days im starting to get use to it. Damd you halo you made me friends.

ive benn playing halo sence the begining of time. i own 300000000000000000000000000 people and i make all of them eat lead. :)

I met some cool guys on Halo. I never planned on meeting them though. I met a cool guy at my school through Halo, and a lot of my other friends IRL play, along with my cousin. The only interesting story I have is how everyone in my small Northern Indiana city was affected by Halo 3's release. Everyone wanted in on it and even the teachers said that he wanted to get out of some conference so he could go out and buy Halo.

I meet someone at flamingoland (a theme park for u american dudes who dont know) and they had xbl and were friends to this day

I got a great story for ya...I started playing Halo when I found out there was gaming server at our University freshman year. I didn't know it got so competative until I saw a neighbor having a blast playing 16 player system link FFA slayer (This was before live btw)... Before my parents left me in Daytona my first year, my dad surprised me with a Green Halo edition Xbox with the game. Everyone knew to contact me via the dorm phone system for a match...it's was a blast... I started classes during the Fall and had some difficulty in programming because it was my first time doing any code. I didn't know who to ask for help on my floor. I heard a knock on my neighbor's door and it turns out to be a girl in my programming class who I met at orientation. She had been asking around for the homework and I thought maybe I could get the work from her. We soon began talking and working together. She was awesome! The only problem in my eyes was that she was a tomboy and dressed in long shirts and sweatpants. She never showed a more femine side to her. We got to know each other pretty well as the time went on. The biggest excitment came when they announced that a Halo tournament would be sponsored by one of the organizations on campus. On the day of the tournament I was a bit nervous and I really was anxious to get started. After a couple of rounds and seeing the teams play, I really wanted to jump right in. One of my teammates points out this girl that comes toward us and at first, I'm thinking in my head, [i] what girl could get all of their attention[/i]. I turn around and find the girl in my programming class dressed from head to toe, make-up, and everything. She looked fine! It shocked the hell out of everyone! My nerves were chilled when we talked and my team took the first round easy. Eventually I got hungry and the next match was coming up for the semi-finals. She asked me what I wanted and I was in the mood for some quick cereal so Frosted Flakes was the first thing I said. Sure enough, 15 minutes later she came back with frosted flakes and even bottled milk from the cafeteria which is on the other side of campus. I knew this one was a keeper! Although I lost in the semis, I won the girl in the end and made her my girlfriend after that... For Halo 2, she even waited on line with me at the stroke of midnight to get the game. The game reminded us of how we got together! She later played from their on out under the name Nudefemale and actually wasn't too shabby. She welcomed all challengers and was always willing to show what a girl can do...I've even played with her from time to time...I always wear my 3 shirt now that I got as a gift from my parents and really that's how long we've been together 3 years. Overall Halo brought us together...hope this helps Frankie! [Edited on 01.06.2008 8:25 AM PST]

My friend Matt went into the military, and though he is now overseas, when he was stationed in Alaska we played Halo over XBL as much as we possibly could. Kept our friendship stronger being able to kill things :D

Yeah, I love what Halo has done for people, Ive never had a gf, But Playing halo with girls at mine is still really awesome, it really is a both sexes games :P Especially telling someone they just got pwnt by a gal xD Is really funny, even if you have to run round covering there ass to make sure they get kills :p

I met quite a few people that come from my region (GUAM: small island in the pacific, andersen airforce base, ferdinand magellan found it on his circumnavigation of the globe, important world war 2 events occured). A few of em are my age and most of em are kids but they're hardcore.

[quote]Although we didn't meet via Halo, and she doesn't play the game herself, this is a story of my tolerant wife that I've been meaning to share. I have to give her credit for putting up with my obsession. From my time spent on the forums, playing the game, and collecting Bungie memorabilia, she's been a great sport through it all. As a Christmas present a few years back she gave me a mint copy of Myth and Pathways into Darkness, sealed in box, to help fill out the old collection of Bungie stuff; a collection that culminated in my purchase of a Nightmare Armor MJOLNIR helmet signed by members of the Bungie team. So after my bachelor party gallivanted around Vegas, wearing a different Bungie shirt every day, it was back to concentrate on wedding planning. After giving me the green light to have my Groom's cake be shaped like a Septagon, we still needed to cover what music to have during the ceremony. Most people didn't believe me that it was her idea to include Halo music in the wedding, but it was. I originally tried contacting Marty like a creepy stalker for any wedding-ish Halo music suggestions but lacked the proper persuasion to garner a response. (I knew I should have promised decadent coffee beans.) So, she suggested that we be introduced to the Halo theme but with one condition. I had to wear the Masterchief helmet. The hardest part of the decision was to decide between the Halo: Combat Evolved theme, or the Halo 2 theme. In the end her wisdom shined through. She stated: "Halo 1 does seem more appropriate for a wedding with the softer music in comparison, but with Halo 2, people who have played the game will instantly recognize the electric guitar intro and those who haven't will wonder what's up with the Beethoven meets 80's hair band music." (Her words Marty. Beware the wrath of a women's scorn. :D ) It helped that only a few people knew what was coming the day of the wedding and seeing the crowd's reaction through a mirrored visor was a spectacle in itself. On one side were all of our younger friends laughing their asses off. On the other side were my parents shaking their head with the 'That's our son.' look, the in-laws smiling and clapping with the 'Is it too late to back out?' look, and several Grandparents wondering why I was wearing my helicopter helmet from work. Either way, here's a picture from the wedding: Wedding 117 Even on our honeymoon in New Zealand she tolerated my shenanigans. Bringing Bungie love and man-beards to a glacier near you. I'm lucky to have someone who rolls with my nerdiness and I most certainly love my wife.[/quote] fantastic wedding. the guests look thrilled.

[quote]My story is actually the opposite of finding love through halo, i actually lost my girlfriend due to Halo. Apparently i spent way to much time playing Halo and not enough time spending it with her. So me and my girlfriend of 2 years broke up shortly after the release of Halo 3. But seriously who needs women when one has Halo? Halo never whines and complains at you or could possibly cheat on you. Now i can play as much Halo as i want. Which is fine with me. Apparently im too obsessed with halo, well i like my obsession. [/quote] how old are u? [Edited on 01.06.2008 12:08 AM PST]

[quote]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![/quote] WOW.

Yes I sadly did think she was a fat 12 year due to her clothes but I found out that she wasnt and that she is one hellva a game player. Now shes not better then me at Halo yet but shes getting there. Oh and turning your bosses kids from Sony Fanboys with Halo doesnt belong here.

i have made alot of friends since i move to texas, but nothing comes close to the fun wev had at LAN partys

Well..all I can say is that Halo really helped everything. Ive met loads of friends on it, some of whom I know in real life, or who are about 20 mins away. Although ive gone through my own amount of girls ive met over xbl, none of them have I ever gotten into any "relationship" with, I am going to see a girl I met in New York (I live in Texas) who've ive known for a while now. She (Her name's [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStatsHalo2.aspx?player=DragonSlayer735]Ally[/url]) was one of my friends friends, and I started talking to her, and we just got to really know each other, and go figure, we started talking about that time to go see each other. Im going to New York in about mid-Juneish, and she said she'll be waiting for me there. I cant wait, and neither can she. Who knows what will happen, all I can say is that were goin to have some real fun, especially me owning her at halo :D Plans I have after meeting her, will be another girl from Pennsylvania that i've really wanted to see for a looong time. I met her on halo 2 during a game of Headlong if I do recall it was. I joined one of my friends party's (Props to [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/default.aspx?player=LilPHILLIPS]LilPhillips[/url]) and I started to get to know her from then on. We talked and talked, and eventually we exchanged phone numbers. I texted her during school, or when I needed somebody to talk to, and she was always there when I needed her. I will eventually have arrangements to meet her sometime soon, but only time will tell. Here's her gamertag: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/default.aspx?player=xX+DevCon4+Xx]Xx Devcon4 xX[/url] Other than that, ive met a few really good friends to play tournys with or go hardcore in MM. Only 1 person I can really mention and thats [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStatsHalo2.aspx?player=LiQuiD+I+XeRo]LiQuiD i XeRo[/url] (Tommy other wise) Once I met this guy, I really got involved into the community, originally making me get a bungie.net account to be honest. He inspired me throughout the Halo universe in ways of clans/movies that I cant even explain. Me and him actually plan to meet sometime this summer..hopefully ;) To tell you the truth, Halo has done alot, but along the lines of dating and relationships, even more so! Thanks Bungie!

I met some of my friends through halo, and now when i forget a homework assignment, i just send a message and they reply with the assignment. It way better than talking on the phone cuz if your on the phone. you can't bash them in the face if you get mad. And im trying to rule a country called "Zanzibaria" but not many people are left, The giant spinning blades are a bit of a problem. [Edited on 01.05.2008 10:08 PM PST]

I actually got the score that I needed on the ASVAB to get the job that I want in the Navy. I want to be a Machinist's Mate (Nuclear), which is just a guy in the nuclear power program who works on nuclear reactors but you need a high score on the ASVAB to be eligible and I was really worried about getting the score. I got a 29 on the ACT and I talked to a guy in the Navy who got a 31 on the ACT and still only got an 88 on the ASVAB which is about where I needed to be, so I figured that I was going to be lucky if I got an 80. The day of the test I was really nervous about it and anxious to get the test over with, and when we finally got the test I was almost more nervous than I have ever been in my life. During the test I was doing ok, until I got to the math section- math has always been my weakest subject. I ended up making "educated guesses" on quite a few of the questions because there wasn't enough time for me to work it out really, and that made me even more nervous about getting a high enough score. I was thinking that I would be lucky to get a high 70's then. I made it through the other sections of the test as fast as I could, it is timed, and then at the end there a special section for the Navy, , which gave you a random 6-7 digit number (somewhere around there it was a while back), which signified a product, such as laundry detergent, and then you had to find the product that it was in a grid of numbers about 7 x 5. So that's a block of around 35 serial numbers that you had to sift through to find the answer after you had already determined that answer. The questions came in packs of 7 and there were 84 total, and a time limit of somewhere like 7 minutes (again not sure), and the beginning of the test says that it's not bad if you don't make it through all of the questions, as most people weren't able to make it through all of the questions in time. When it started I was little apprehensive, but then I realized that it was just liked scanning a room for enemy spartans, of looking for that sniper hiding in the distance; it was so similar that I even kind of had fun with it and it was almost like playing halo. I made it through all of the questions in around 4 minutes, and I came out of the test thinking thinking that that part wasn't actually that bad. When I got my test, the lady proctoring them said congratulations on my score, and I inquired as to where the score actually was. She pointed to a 98 on the page, and I was so happy that my knees almost buckled. I couldn't help but grin, and I was pretty much giggly all morning. That really made my day, and I truly think that Halo 3 and my hours spent honing my skills in game helped me get the score that I needed to be eligible for the job. Right now I'm being investigated to see if I'm eligible for the job (it requires top level security clearance), and hopefully everything will go according to plan. If I get that job I'll be set for a fulfilling career in my dream job, and no small part of that be due to Bungie in my opinion. Thanks for making such a great game and being such an awesome studio.

wow hes a selfish prick

I have a friend who I played halo with. His brother's friend was getting married in Las Vegas who I also had played with online, but had never met. The day I met him was in the casino, at his wedding, in Las Vegas. The only contact I had had with him was in Halo-world. It was great. Still keep in contact with all of them too.

actually i met my first gf on live it went for about 1 month but it was awsum !!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Master Masashi I did find my love on Halo 2. It all began back in January of last year. My best friend had a girlfriend who was interested in Halo 2 at the time and loved to play other games that I too played. I would always go up her house and play Halo 2 with her while talking about me and her. One day my friend was being, well, a complete idiot. He told his girlfriend that he wasn't going to the movies with her and me. Thats when his girlfriend and I talked on the computer. I brought up that we should go to the movies without him and she agreed! We went to see Ghostrider and walk in the snow a little bit. We started talking about random things and then we headed out to go home. At the time her step father drove us to the movies and he drove us back. While we were heading to my house, my friends girlfriend grabbed my hand and held it! I kinda freaked inside but I went with the motion of holding her hand. Then they dropped me off at my house to go home. I looked at my railing on my stairs and it had snow on it. I put my hand over it and "washed" my hands in the snow with confusion. Well about a month later my friend found out and fighting happened between us. We are cool now but man I would never think in my entire life here on Earth that I would do such an act of betrayal but I guess he had it coming considering he has done a lot behind my back as well. As for my new girlfriend? She has become my wife! We play Halo 3 on and off and just recently we tried playing with a GH3 guitar! It was funny as hell! Well thats my story and yes it is all true. If you want the video about me and her playing Halo 3 with a GH3 controller I will have that up shortly. Lata! [/quote] First: Homewrecker Second: How are you married now if you didn't have your License three years ago?

I remember the game like it was yesterday. It was snipers, no shields, on sidewinder. CTF classic on Halo PC. I was in my clan's server and I remember the first thing I said to her: RED_Ryanman: Nice Shot and the first thing she said to me: RED_KitKat: is that a joke? Despite being the typical sex-crazy gamer I eventually began to win her over. We'd alternate between talking on xfire and her screaming at me in ventrilo for getting yet another kill. She played with a controller (much n00b fodder for us PC gaming purists) and she was sarcastic. She was gorgeous and witty and so deep that withing three months of talking to her, I knew I'd eventually fall in love. It was strange to me, I'd never met anyone quite like her where I lived. It sounds cliche of course but she fit the bill for everything I wanted in a girl. We talked about people, we talked about politics, we talked about religion, we talked about love. And of course sometimes we'd discuss the game that brought us together. She grew better at the game and eventually became my superior officer in RED ([url]http://www.darkjedi.org/club/RED[/url])Of course she lived in Kansas (and me in Alabama) but people work out from that.... right? The short answer to that is yes. After more than a year of talking I paid for a round trip ticket to Kansas. And it worked out perfectly. Of course there was 15 minutes of awkwardness (Her dad made a "Look, Katherine, he's not 45 years old!" joke the first time he saw me) but after that it was smooth sailing. She came down for Christmas, and those few precious days remain the highlight of my life. We're going to continue to visit each other until eventually going to the same college and renting our first apartment. How many people can say that they've met the only person they love playing video games? And kept playing to boot? Her name's RED_Katetacular now but she's still the same amazing girl she was 2 years ago. And I'm incredibly glad i felt like CTF on that lucky, lucky day.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mexicantacol234 Some of my greatest friends are on Halo 3. Well... Pretty much my only friends too, but that's beside the point.[/quote] loser

So, around 2005 I moved to where I currently live. A few weeks after we had moved here, my sister became friends with a girl across the street. I didn't really care and usually ignored them when they were at our house. A few weeks after THAT, my brother, who lived 40 miles away, got bought a 2nd Xbox and copy of Halo 2, just because he could for around $30 and he needed another for LAN parties. He let me borrow one of the Xboxs and a copy of Halo 2 (after about a week and a half of my non-stop pestering :P). One day, my sister's friend came over. While my door to my room is usually shut when I play video games, it was slightly open that day. I also didn't have live at this time, so I was screwing around in campaign. While I was busy killing off my marines on Outskirts, I sensed there was someone else in the room. Sure enough, I look behind me and my sister's friend is standing in the doorway watching me. When she realized I was looking at her, she asked me one of the dumbest questions I have ever heard. "Do you play Halo?" I decided not to ridicule her and simply answered, "Yes." Then next question was even weirder to me. She asked, "Can I play?" After I got over the shock of a girl asking if she could play Halo, I quit out of campiagn and we started killing each other in multiplayer. About 20 minutes later, my sister came looking for her friend and found us both laughing because her friend had stuck herself in the face on accident. My sister joined in and I repeatedly wasted them in slayer. Now my sister's friend and I are really good friends. We used to play Halo together everyday and found a lot of other common interests between us. While she is doing concurrent enrollment in school right now (I would too, but it was a special program she got into. I was an 'Alternate'.), so we can't play together a lot anymore, we still find time to play Halo together whenever possible, mainly because while I have gotten pretty good, she still sucks and is trying to improve. While I'm hoping our relationship will go a little bit farther, so far, we're still just friends. While that is probably the best friends I have made from playing Halo, I have made a lot more, both in real life and over Xbox Live, that I really enjoy hanging out/playing with. Bungie, thanks again for an AWESOME game. :D
