Halo 3. Joined a game with my brother and his friend. We were playing capture the flag in Valhalla. Immediately, we all three jump into a warthog while others run. Dodging rockets and snipers all the way to the base, my brother drifts in the back of the enemy tower while his friend jumps out. I watch as my brothers' friend, with the flag, fly from the man cannon and land directly onto the warthog while we drive across the field to our base. The game was over in three minutes and twelve seconds. It was amazing.

Edited by Haydo: 7/7/2013 11:19:42 PMHalo 3 Halloween Infection playlist. Getting the turret into the top room of The Pit after illegally jumping off a trusty team mate’s head. We mowed down zombies until all 200 rounds of the turret were gone, our shotguns were spent, and our pistols were nothing more than clubs. Then we met our end like men, heads held high, screaming like little girls as the hoard ravaged our mutilated bodies again and again.

Edited by Ai_Agent: 7/7/2013 11:15:17 PMMy best moment I would have to say is playing halo 3 predator with 4 friends, I remember everyone being scared by the fact that you couldn't see the guy, all the screams we shared and the fear, I remember that we would always camp in a corner of the map ahh the good times

3 RepliesProbably my favorite moment in a Bungie game was playing the last section of Halo 3. We would always play it on legendary just so during the Warthog part it would be easier to die and lose the race. I remember how we would scream and yell just like we would at sports. We would even team up sometimes just to beat other people and try and push each other off and mess up the other people. It was the best and my favorite part of any Bungie game.

It was Assault on Burial Mound in Halo 2. I was playing split-screen with two friends. We typically listened to music while playing Halo, and the track that happened to be playing during this match was “Dueling Banjos.” The three of us were preparing to storm the enemy base: I was carrying the bomb and my friends were in a Warthog. Just as the music got to the epic duel part, I ran into the bottom of the base and my friends drove the ‘Hog onto the base’s bridge. We were promptly blown into oblivion by an enemy’s rocket.

My cousin and I had been trying to beat the last level of Halo 3 legendary for hours to see the legendary cutscene after the credits. We battled through everything from a very pissed off Johnson to a visit from our grandparents. By the time we finally beat the level, we were both a little exhausted. I thought that I could skip the credits to go right to the cutscene. I hit the start button. We didn't see the cutscene.

10 years ago, after a few trail runs with 2 systems It was time for our Lan Party. Back then we had hours of fun with player 4 player split. This whole "system link" thing was a brave new world to us. Luckily back then my friends and I where either just out of High school or finishing up so we didn't have the responsibilities we have now as grown men. We ended up that night with 5 systems set up with 12/13 close friends Haloing it up all night!

Picking a favorite moment is difficult, I met some of my best friends playing Halo online. Having them be across the country, even the planet, and didn't make a difference, we played together constantly. I met my best friend playing Halo, and for about 2 years we played Halo together. She lives in New Jersey and I live in Florida, and one summer I decided to save up my money and fly out to New Jersey just to see her and play Halo together in person. It was the best summer I have ever had.

A friend and I were trying to complete the final level of Halo 3. While each of us controlled two controllers at the same time. The ghost run in the end was chaotic to put it mildly. Warthogs are for blue bastards, red army rocks.

Edited by Phill Black: 7/7/2013 11:11:21 PMThe day had come, September 14 2010, and Halo Reach had finally released. I was evovled through Combat nine years prior, saw the war in the eyes of the Coveneant, and finished the fight, sending the Flood back to whence they came! And now then, I had to say goodbye. I sat down and tried to make it last as long as possible. Playing through every campaign mission on every diffulty. Spending sleep time in exchange for long hours in Forge World. In the end all good things must pass, and when Reach was handed over to 343, it was bitter sweet. Sad that a decade, a dynasty, was done, but ecited for a brand new one. I can't pick just one moment from Halo, because Halo is like the 60's. We were all having to much fun and enjoying life, that picking a favourite would be immpossible. Thank for a decade that I can say I lived to the fullest. The next one is on the house, Bungie!

Edited by necro2607: 7/7/2013 11:14:32 PMFavorite moment playing a Bungie game with my friends. Sorry, I can't decide just ONE favorite moment. I've been avidly playing Bungie's games nonstop starting with Marathon which we played on the university LAN during class instead of doing our work. I probably learned more about building Marathon levels than I did the actual coursework during those times! haha ;) Still though, one of the absolute top moments was when I finally got my brand new Xbox set up, loaded up Halo 2 for the first time, got my user all set up and hopped onto XBL for some team games with my buddies (and even the actual friend/lobby/matchmaking process impressed me right away). One of the earliest matches, CTF on Headlong. Wow. Immediately blown away at how INSANELY FUN it was!!! Yelling into the mic, scrambling to capture (or protect) the flag, rockets flying at us seemingly out of nowhere, hilariously epic Warthog runs, awesome stealth attacks... etc. etc... What a freaking amazing time. I've been a passionate gamer since the late 80's and those are still my absolute favorite multiplayer gaming memories. I honestly feel like only Bungie (via Destiny) has a chance to surpass that level of mind-bogglingly epic awesomeness. I've gone on to host numerous 8+ player Halo parties at my home in the years since. Dual projectors and occasionally even a third system set up for bigger parties. Absolute best. Gave out PAX swag as prizes for winners too. Halo has really defined the level of fun I expect from games today and very few meet those expectations! haha Can't wait to see you all starside in Destiny... ! :)

The best moment i can remember is in halo 3 the slulls hidden in the map. I think the map was sandbox where the skull was at the end of the map next to the big wall amd we had to go get the skull but the gardians keep shooting us down! We keep doin it all day went to the forge to try and make a tunnel but it disnt work so we had gotten bubble shields n throwns them every where the dead bodys of my friends where every where i can see but we jeep forging our way across till we got it. Getting that skull was a big moment we all scream in exitment and started killing each other with it and tbagging everything we saw.

BTB in Halo 2. My friends and I would get a lobby going and just have a blast. Whether it would be on Coag or Terminal, it was just plain [i]fun[/i]. Meeting awesome people, having intense games, driving around in warthogs, etc. It was the most fun I have ever had on Xbox, and maybe video games in general. Hope I can change that with Destiny :)

killing mason... it's fun. fin.

My friend invited me to his custom game on Sandbox. I spawned on a platform with a teleporter, which he told me to walk into. I then experienced one of the more interesting aspects of Halo 3’s physics engine. I was teleported high above the ground, then fell into another teleporter which brought me to the teleporter I had just fell from. This continued until I was going so fast that I fell through the 3rd teleporter to one below and shot out of a receiver in the skybox so fast that I broke through the kill barrier alive.

That moment of truth.....so long in the making. I had seen it a thousand times in my mind's eye. Years of dedicated training. Years of sacrifice and pain. Years that tempered youthful ambition into deadly intention. All of it now focused into this moment .....steady hands raise my rifle "Justice Song", into postion. My hud and rifle optics sing to each other as data reading start ghosting in my visuals. Wind speed, biometric preassure, distance. A conversation I've had with old Justice many times In the dim light the Fallen Captain gazes up from his kill scanning the darkness. As though some silent premonition within warned him of his peril. Silently I offer up a prayer to the traveler. The silence speaks as Justice barks death into the gloom! I reach out with fire and lay claim to my birthright, as my bullet whisps through the captains heart with naught but a whisper. The moment passes. My fate is sealed as a Hunter....guardian of the citadel

Playing Halo 2 for the first time with my bestfriend (I got owned) the great graphics, the interactive storyline of the most powerful solider, and well grunts because who can hate them. Playing blood gulch and getting snipped by my friends uncle who got in the sniper spot with the ghost and now the very reason i hate campers. It was so much fun.

My 360 red-ringed the week before H3 launch, so after beating the campaign on co-op with a buddy we had a LAN party. My first MP experience in Halo 3 was Sand Pirates on Sand Trap. It was amazing and involved roughly 20 people randomly saying "ARR!" and various other pirate phrases. In my first venture I infiltrated the enemy ship and overkilled my way to a takeover. Glorious.

Four seconds. I'm only moments away from winning rocketball on Midship in Halo 2. Karl is decked by a rocket just before his triumph. As he's launched, the skull falls into my hands. Three seconds. I turn around to quickly smash Peter and retain possession. Two seconds. I see Alex aiming at me. I see a launch pad meters away. As I sprint towards it, I rise to my feet as ritual has always been. One second. Alex pulls the trigger. The pad launches me and the rocket barely singes my feet. Victory. I'm soon tackled by everyone. Great memories.

Edited by GhaleonEB: 7/7/2013 11:00:03 PMReleased from the hospital after five days of needles and pain, I was faced with two choices: head home and continue recover from the pneumonia that nearly killed me, or down some caffeine and drive four hours to the Halo LAN party I would otherwise miss. Caffeine, friends and Halo won out. The Gulch - and the Red flag - was ours, as our cries of triumph drowned the wails of defeat from upstairs. I was exhausted, elated and glad to be alive. We teabagged joyously.

The wheels of the Warthog screeched and slid across the ice. The endless rat-at-tat of the turret roaring through the speakers of my television. Our warthog had taken a pounding but so had theirs. We took a sharp turn around a boulder. I had their vehicle in my sights! I unloaded a barrage of machine gun fire, turning their warthog into a flaming mass of debris. "Haha!" I laughed, " wanna play again?" My 2 brothers and cousin looked at me and smiled. My brother responded: "It's 3 'o clock in the morning dude. We've been playing the same map Sidewinder for 12 hours." I looked at the clock in my room. I responded : "So?" All of the Halo's are amazing, but Halo: CE has that sense of nostalgia that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I can foresee this happening in Destiny...

[b][i]7/7/13[/i][/b] One could only imagine my surprise when Halo 3 turned out to be a complete success, Despite all the trust shown by myself after buying the Xbox 360 only for Halo... The campaign was a blast, the matchmaking was tense, the custom games... oh the custom games will forever remain in my gaming history as one of the best times and when I switched from Three to Reach and then to the switchover from Bungie to 343, it felt like the end of an era. Thank you Bungie. This is for you.

Edited by Orion: 7/7/2013 10:59:25 PMMy favorite moments will always be in the Halo 3 custom games/forge. I remember just hanging out with a few of my buddies screwing around with the gravity and speed settings and turning them into infection gametypes on sandtrap. Or even just screwing around playing lone wolves where the leader gets overshields and a gravity hammer. I thought I was so pro as I had been playing Halo for years. Then I took to the multiplayer for the first time on XBL and got put in my place. Good times. (Picture isn't mine, but that is still one of my favorite gametypes.)

Back in halo 3 my friends and I would get together and play as, "The Mauve Mob". The goal of the mob was to act as ridiculous as possible. About 4 or 5 of us would change our color to mauve, and jump into a rumble pit game. We had various mob strategies, but my favorite was when we would travel in a conga line, crouched sneaking around the map, when an enemy appeared we would all stand up and start wildly spinning and running around shooting our guns in the air. The enemy would usually kill us all.

Halo CE, Hang em' High, CTF, 2v2, no time limit. It was tied 2-2, with one flag left. One of my friends managed to kill my team and steal the Flag! I noticed he was running across the outer wall to his base. After a long run, I managed to retrieve the Rockets. I lined up the shot, prayed it worked, and pulled the trigger. For five seconds I watched the rocket fly across the hall. My friend ran RIGHT INTO IT, sending the flag across the map! An hour later, my team capped the flag, leading us to victory!
