Team Slayer 4v4 Standoff map The game is nearing the end with the Blues only needing two kills to win while we need 4. We need to take out their warthog to win this game, so i grab the plasma grenades. The Hog comes around and i time it perfectly on its front left tire, as the grenade blows up my friend uses the brute shot to send the hog flying towards blue base. i send another plasma towards the projected landing spot of the hog and once again time it perfectly, all 4 blues get blown up.

My favorite moment about playing a bungie game is probably playing halo: reach for the first time and dominating all of my friends with the DMR.( good times )

Edited by DontBlink7: 7/8/2013 12:22:25 AMIt was the night before Christmas and outside was perfectly quiet, but the deep confines inside my house sounded just like a riot. Friends old and new gathered together, to experience a memory that would last forever. Looking back at it now, a lan party, 8 strong, huddled around eight 24"s playing halo 2 all night long, seems outdated and crude by all todays standards, but to me I believe it was something much, much grander. For all the fences and barriers that further divide, gaming was the passion that kept us all tied. Thanks Bungie!

Getting HUGE air by colliding Warthogs in Sidewinder (Halo: CE).
-
flipping that elephant and shooting my buddy into the air was always fun, and just trying to see how many fusion coils we could do it with. too many great moments to recall tho,

My top kill of all time was Valhalla in Halo 3. I came out the cave (waterfall side) and saw an enemy down past the creek. I managed to put 3 or 4 shots on him but he ran around his base into cover. Frustrated, I lobbed a frag at the base and it killed him. On review, it had bounced off the spire, projected vertically down onto the ramp at just the right angle to guide the frag under the base and into the cowards back. Epic! Biggest mistake was never uploading it to bungie.net and now I can't find the clip :(
-
My favorite memory wasn't even playing a Bungie game, it was hearing about it. When I heard that people were keeping their xbox's on just to play halo 2 after the servers were shut down I was so filled with pride because the community I was apart of cared so much for a game that they would go to such lengths just to keep playing when time was up it was truly endearing. I felt like they were giving halo 2 the encore that it deserved. that is my fondest memory of a Bungie game.

I remember when the Vidmaster Challenges came out. I remember how excited my friends and I were when we found out we could “look” like a Bungie employee if we did a set number of challenges, 7 to be precise. But I remember “Endure”, the beautiful nightmare. We would always get to the fourth set, and around the fifth wave, my friend’s internet would shut off. Our last Vidmaster was always just a few minutes away, but always just out of reach. After maybe a dozen plus attempts, we finally did it. We unlocked Recon. We finished the fight.

Completing the Annual and DejaVu Vidmaster achievements with my son and childhood friends is my greatest gaming moment, period.

Playing Halo 3 multiplayer with my buddies and girlfriend. She's new to the game so she's asking a lot of questions and we are answering while still trying to kill each other. As I'm getting into my new favorite sniping spot she asks me "how do you do a melee attack?" I reply "push down on the look stick" and immediately die as she giggles in the corner and her character walks over my body.
-
I think it's easy enough for me to say that I met my best friends through Halo. Timeless moments I've shared on my fileshare, but one thing that never changes from each Halo game that I love is the pre-game lobbies leading up to the match with the slew of trash talking and jokes. Only Halo has brought me such joy.
-
I have no favorite moment in playing the Halo games with my friends (sorry, too young to say I played any earlier Bungie games). Everything from building tons of mongoose courses to finding glitches and easter eggs was just too fun. Campaign holds many fond memories for me as well as epic moments in competitive multiplayer. I have invested hours upon hours into the Halo games and with all that time it is impossible to pick one moment. So I say thanks to Bungie for making games where all moments are great moments. :)

Edited by LordGodClap: 7/8/2013 12:00:23 AMOut of all the memorable moments Bungie has brought to me and friends from melee slugging it out with the Pfhor, to the rain of flaming arrows into the breach, and no doubt the system link of the original Halo carrying over TVs and xbox's to each others house for LAN parties, I have to say that it all started with me on the Macintosh Power Mac 7200. I was a bored kid in my workaholic parents printshop in the late 90's surrounded by Macs and boring machinery. My brother and I soon had Durandal loaded on at least two of the macs in the office and this is where I spent countless hours of carnage in local and online deathmatches with helpless men running around screaming "they're everywhere!" I am 26 now and Bungie has intrigued me ever since the beginning. Thank you Bungie you standard setting bunch of kick asses!

Edited by china27: 7/7/2013 11:52:54 PMIn the beginning of Halo 2 and the beginning of online gaming,lag was a part of the growing pains Microsoft and game developers dealt with. As gamers, it was also something we dealt with. In a CTF game on Relic,as I was running back to the base with the flag, my teammate splattered me, head on. As we(our team) all yelled at him for his bad driving, his excuse was: "you lagged under my wheel". Laughter on all parties ensued. From that point forward, all accidental betrayal splatters were "due to lag"

My favorite moment in a bungie game was in halo reach firefight when me and a buddy were owning so e covenant. It was on beachhead and he was up on top of the building and was trying to get my commendations up for vehicle kills and splatters. So I was driving around and my buddy was watching me, and then out of nowhere a drop pod comes down right on the fin of my ghost and I explode and go flying. My friend didn't stop laughing for five minutes. It was pretty funny, I'll admit.

A few years ago, my friend Alec and I would play Halo together. We loved messing around in Forge mode. We would do everything Halo together, just doing whatever we thought looked cool. We became brothers because of Halo, but he ended up moving to Florida. I remember our last game of Halo that we played was Crow's Nest in Halo 3, and all we did in that mission was bounce the skull like a basketball. Shortly after moving, he passed away because his pacemaker failed. I'll never forget the games we played and I know he never did.
-
I vividly remember playing Halo 2 the day it came out. I had my best friend over, and we slid the disc into my XBox, anticipation crawling up our spines. When the first cut-scene, "The Heretic," came on, all we could do was sit in silent awe as we watched a story unfold involving the very aliens we spent hours and hours slaughtering while playing Halo: CE. I still remember chuckling with delight at Johnson's snarkiness, and Master Chief's overwhelming badassery with his request for a weapon. And at the end of "The Cairo Station," when he asked Lord Hood if he could "give the covenant back their bomb," I couldn't hold back the excitement bursting from my chest. Halo was really a block in the foundation of my childhood, and these memories will stick with me forever.

Birthday parties of LAN MP on Halo: CE. We stumbled upon 10-16 player free-for-all on Prisoner. The catch? Melee assassinations only. Most chaotic and hilarious thing ever. And the occasional rocket pickup :p Seriously, do it!
-
Oh man, Guardian...Halo 3...nights went flying by trying to spot guys in "green", putting a bubble shield in mid, fiesta costume through the whole map...magical, just magical. But besides the magical funny and to the hilarious funny, the mongoose tracks made by the community served for thousands of laughs, fails, and falls, of me and my mates, hardly will have the same feeling anytime soon.
-
Me and my brother,rocking trough the hard places of all Halos, Earth and other planets. Every game was special, from CE (where we usually ended a game session by killing each other over who should drive the warthog) to Reach (where we still argued over who was the better driver). There is no favorite moment: all of the time that I spent playing Halo (both coop and solo) was perfect, sublime. Thank you Bungie, for listenning and nurturing your community over all these years. Hope you keep making wonderful games that everyone enjoys!

Back in the days of Halo 3, a buddy and I started tearing through the campaign on legendary. Neither of us had played higher than Normal, so we died a lot. I remember getting ready to attack, and my buddy runs around the corner, guns blazing, and immediately gets stuck. I then die when the enemies aggro'd on me. But boy did we laugh!

Edited by Survivor Sid: 7/7/2013 11:59:24 PMThe link above is the match in the story. My favorite moment when playing a Bungie game is the day I met my best friend. A mutual friend of ours had invited me to his match and I join, it was custom Infection game mode and Foundry map by the names of "Girl" and "Girl action" so that it read out to be "Girl on Girl action" in the lobby. Thanks to Halo 3 we were able to meet, and from there played many more games of Halo, and forged in the heat of fake combat, was an ever-lasting friendship. I have even visited him. Thanks Bungie.

We never had what one would consider “normal” multiplayer matches. Example: our favorite was where 3 people would load up in a warthog (Halo 1, pre rocket hogs). The last man would get in a Scorpion tank. The warthog would then suicide charge into the tank, ramp off the angled front into the sky, and the tank had the challenge of hitting the warthog with a shot while it hurdled in the air. We would do this for HOURS and laugh the whole time at what happened. Truly, Warthog Baseball was, and still is, the sport of champions.

It was way back in the olden days. My brother and a my friend Jon were over at my place, playing Halo 2 on my grotty old Xbox. We decided to play Rockets and shotguns on Lockout. We turned the gravity down and the speed up. Chaos ensued. Jon screamed every time he heard a rocket fired! Soon, we all did! We could barely see to play through our tears of laughter. We eventually had to stop because of my roommates all lined up to gripe at me. Absolutely worth it.
-
Mine had to be in Halo 2 after numerous attempts and over several hours of gameplay, on the level Metropolis. We had finally gotten a banshee through the tunnels and boarded it, right at that pesky moment where you had a literally a millisecond to board it before it disappeared. We flew all way the up top to get the plasma rifle that shot the Scarab Gun. Hands down the coolest shit ever! My body was definitely not prepared for that....
-
My favorite was beating the Halo 3 campaign on Legendary with my cousin and my brother. We played through every mission as normal and skipped over Cortana to move onto the last mission. After beating every other mission, we moved onto Cortana. Cortana was a beast, and it was ready to kill. It took us an hour or two to run through it. We were nearing the end, about to head for the Pelican, when my brothers headset died, shutting his Xbox off. This resulted in the game ending. We were so close. We ran through it one more time, and finished the game. While this may seem like a dim moment, the reward was even better at the end.
