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!

My favorite time playing a bungie game is playing Halo 3 multi-player, big team slayer. It was funny,fun,& competitive. We had to see who had the most splatter kills, I lost. But I had the most randomness splatters, when my ghost did a barrel role and I had a killing spree with that one role. We looked at the film and the people died like we planned it! It was funny as fudge!

It was grifball. My friend was going ham. I could hear him yelling out the medals he got. DOUBLE! TRIPLE! MULTI!...KILLTASTROPHE! KILLPOCALYPSE! We all knew what was coming next, the inevitable killionare. As the words came out of his mouth-betrayal. I betrayed him right as he was going for that last kill. An awkward silence came over the party chat, and we all figured out what happened, I lost it, I just started dying of laughter. We all joined in..well, except for him. this was something we never forget, and he even brought it up today as well were playing a game of grifball. I owe him big time, but not as much as I owe Bungie for providing the opportunity for great times. Happy Bungie Day guys.

First day at my new school I met three kids, Calvin, Grant, and Austin. During recess I heard them talking about the newly released halo 3, I had the game but I was too shy to enter the conversation. The next day I went up to them during recess and we talked about halo 3 and exchanged gamertags. After school we played custom games the entire night, fatman, infection, and so many others. It was the most fun I had, to this day the three kids that I befriended because of halo 3 are now my 3 best friends.

My story is the tensest game of Halo Reach to ever have been conceived: It was Bungie day last year, a group of 4 players, of which I was a proud part, watch in awe as, from the other side of Hemmorage, an army of Spartans charge with a tsunami of 'Hogs, Wraiths and Revenants in a mass game of Big Team Battle. The game had been close for the last five minutes, but as the timer clicked over to one minute remaining, it was down to the wire. As the horde of vehicles screeched over the hills, snipers opened fire upon them, unleashing a wave of fire upon the mechanical tide. Assault Rifles Rattled off rounds in a deadly sea of bullets. The machines of war began to return fire, projecting a hail of burning plasma. After a few seconds of fire, the bodies of the dead and twisted metal corpses littered the ground leaving only two Spartans per team, and two kills a side for victory. A firefight emerges between the survivors, when out of nowhere, the front half of a destroyed Revenant flew past, killing both enemies and crediting my team the kills, with the game timer resting at 0:09. We celebrated with a box of jam doughnuts. Best Bungie day ever.

(Yo this is way over the limit, but it's such a happy memory that I wanted to share anyway. Sorry for being a rebel!) Way back in late 2009, when Halo ODST came out, my friends and I had one goal: to conquer Bungie’s challenge and complete the Vidmasters. After countless late nights, we only had Endure left. We thought it’d be easy, but oh how wrong we were. We tried three times in one day, playing for somewhere around 8 hours, before our last attempt that night. We were going strong, having racked up somewhere around 20 lives quickly before the unthinkable happened: two of us had to leave. Our group was comprised of myself and two of my close, real life friends, and one very close friend from across the Atlantic. In his time, it was somewhere around 4am. We talked it over. We were so close to finishing the damn challenge, but our parents were frustrated with us and our murderous screams. With only two rounds to go and numerous lives, my friend Andrew and I departed, wishing luck to our teammates. We turned the lights off, but unknown to our parents left the xbox on. The next morning, we were told the horrifying story. After being battered and bruised by several chieftans, the two players still had one or two lives left over, on the last wave. Andy and I had long since been sitting in a corner, away and asleep. In the last few moments of the game, both our two friends had died, with no remaining lives, leaving only the two away players to fight. The best part? There were two enemies remaining. Both grunts. When they told this story to us, I could hear the disappointment and anguish in their voices. Apparently, one of the grunts rounded a corner to see our two immoveable avatars, one standing on the other’s head. And as our teammates watched in horror, the grunt simply chucked a sticky grenade and it was all over. Eventually we came back to the challenge, with plenty of planning, and decimated it, finally achieving our dream. But you can bet that we went over the footage together and one of our houses and sure enough, there were only two grunts left. I’m sure I have the footage somewhere. I know this is way over the limit, but thinking of all the fun memories I’ve had in Bungie games over the years just made me want to share this very special one.

Edited by loudermilk: 7/7/2013 10:38:51 PMA friend and I worked at GameStop for the launch of Halo 3, during which we decided we were going to beat the play and beat the game right after we got off work. After many hours of playing, dying, flipping tanks, and other follies we get to the driving portion at the end of the game. I, playing as John, jump in the turret and he, as the Arbiter, just stands there. I look at him and say "Come on we are almost there!" He looks at me and says "The Arbiter drives for no man!" We just cracked at that moment, took us 3 or 4 times to beat the stage due to our laughter.

There I am fresh into Halo 3's multiplayer fighting as best I could, I started to get confident as i was crushing the other team but I let my guard down for one second, 3 players charged towards me almost synchronized, i thought to myself this must be the end to my streak my luck had run out, and then SPLAT! A fellow teammate power slid with a warthog into all 3 of them saving me by an inch of death. Those two words i will never forget as he said it in a determined and battle ready voice "get in" simple yes but it was the start of a long and loyal friendship for the rest of the game me and my friend destroyed the other team with a glorious victory. Me and Justin have now been friends since 2007 and we are still going strong and continue to follow Bungie on the journey to world domination.

My favorite moment is actually watching a trailer rather than playing the game. I had been waiting for Halo 3 for years and the very first Halo 3 reveal trailer was supposed to come out. My friend and I, we freaked out, rushed to my house after school, waited an hour to download the trailer, watched it in utter silence, all before he had to go home. When I think of my childhood video game experience, that's what I think of. Beating Bungie on 7/7/7 and getting recon is a close second.

Edited by aceofwings: 7/7/2013 11:58:50 PMHalo: reach. big team multiplayer, slayer. Me and my three friends are up in to the night around midnight. The map was hemorrhage, i got excited I loved this map since halo one. I grab their ghost and decided to boost at their wraith. I jumped off the ghost and it goes in to a nearby enemy. I landed on the wraith and the gunner is tearing me up but i lived long enough to plant the grenade! It went off and killed them both and took out another enemy running toward the scene! That one moment was my day.

Me and my friends playing a 14 person Halo 2 LAN party at a hotel, during a math convention, using four Xboxes and ton of cords. We had them going across the halls and through windows. It was me and my friend versus pretty much every one else. We had the sniper and a warthog on coag, and were unstoppable. It was crazy fun and easily the most memorable gaming moment of my life.

Number five out of my top ten favorite Bungie moments would have to be in ODST. Shortly after beating the game for the first time me and three of my friends wanted to start the Vidmaster challenge Déjà vu. I love this challenge as soon as I found the rockets. As we hit the highway the enemies showed up the mayhem begun. Through all the smoke and plasma and hours of failed attempts we finally made it to the end of the highway and shortly after completed the Challenge. What made that one of my top five Bungie moments was that I haven’t had that much fun in awhile playing a game with friends while we were sharing the same couch. Oh and as a plus getting to see Johnson in the legendary ending.

Edited by MPGHThunder: 7/7/2013 10:33:57 PMIt was right after Halo 3 released, [b]literally[/b] hours right after. Me and my friend were playing heroic and we found a skull on the arc at the beginning, we tried looking online for tutorials for finding skulls but nothing was uploaded. We then spent the next 2 days looking for skulls. We only found 5 skulls, however we found dozens of eastereggs.

I was playing 8 vs 8 SWAT on Boardwalk on Halo Reach. 6 players on my team left. Me and my friend stuck together, using distractions, stealth and good strategy to our advantage. We were massively outnumbered but it meant kills were easier. We ended up holed in a room, gunning down oncoming waves of furious blue Spartans, I thought we were gonna get destroyed at the beginning of the match... We ended up winning 100 - 43. Best. Match. Ever!

BUNGLE was an April Fool’s joke that I took to heart and helped make a reality. It involved playing Halo in funny ways, such as having maps full of mancannons and spikers, shield doors and fusion coils. Yet it also involved a state of mind where winning didn’t matter, only having a laugh did. So when we first started made BUNGLE maps and came together in 16 player lobbies, before we knew it five hours passed and we still wanted to play! I felt like part of the community, and I am grateful for that chance. - Under 100 words.

I just remembered another story but due to the fact that I can only access the phone right now and that my previous attempts to reach my old post ended with the app crashing, I shall post it here. It was near the bed of lunch one day I school and me and a few friends were playing some CTF on Icefields in CE after eating in the computer room. I was outnumbered two to one, as outskilled, and the match was nearly over. My thoughts were to grab a rocket hog and try and go down fighting. Nearing the enemy base in this plan my warthog gained some air from a hill, as that occurred I roared out "FOR THE GRAND FINALEEEE!" What I failed to notice is one of my friends with a rocket launcher in the hog's path. As soon as I finished my little battle cry I was blown up. We all erupted into laughter.

Edited by Guru: 7/7/2013 10:47:19 PM"Chips? Check. Beer? Check. Couch? Check. 4 controllers? Check. Halo 3? Check. 24 hours of your lives? Check." We all hop on the couch. "Lets get this started." "OH YEA!" I grab the case. Open it up and insert the disc. Marty's awesome music lets us know, it's time. "Lets start with the campaign. YEA!" "Easy? No. Normal? No. Heroic? No. How about legendary?"

6 RepliesEdited by DestinyCalls: 7/7/2013 11:12:34 PMMy friends I are stuck fighting with Elite Generals guarding The Prophet on Halo 2 on Legendary. Jesse runs in with Rocket launcher sweeping away the Jackals and Grunts. Adrien throws grenades at elites charging. Jesse is caught in the blast and dies. I snipe an elite in the head twice to kill it. Jesse respawns and makes a run for The Prophet (Regret, I think.) He is punching him and is killed by another sword Elite. Adrien runs into my next shot and I killed him by mistake. I make a suicide run at the Prophet and finish him off. Meanwhile, my friends are still laughing at all the betrayals.

My favorite memory in Halo 3 was when my friends challenged me to a giant battle. On red team was myself, on blue team was my best friends( there was 4 of them). I got alot of kills with my assault rifle and then in the end of the game they grouped up in the center of the map. All i needed was 5 kills, they needed 3 kills. I threw a plasma grenade on the weakest one of the bunch (he's practically a noob). He ran into the bunch of them then i won the battle. That victory was so sweet I established i was the best out of them. The map type was Blackout my favorite map to date. So many good Halo memories, i just picked that one out of the bunch.

I don't envy the judging panel, lol.
