I was about 11 or 12 at a friends house. I didn't have an xbox yet so I was really excited every time I went over because I knew we'd play Halo!. The good memories are still there though. You?
EDIT: Don't forget to tell of the first experience or memories!

I was 12 when the game was released in 2001. But I think I played it for the first time on the first XBOX when I was 13. I remember linking several Televisions and XBOX's and having massive 16 player round robin tournaments. It was crazy fun. I would get my but kicked so bad. The only prior experience I had had with gaming was with my Nintendo 64. I loved my Mario Kart. Halo Combat Evolved was a totally new video game experience for me. But I loved it. Now I play the PC version all the time. It definitely left a lasting impression on me.
