When me and my best friend played halo 4 all day long and beat the campaign just so we could laugh at the stupid forerunner die
-
Way back in 2004, my friend introduced me to Halo 2. And I sucked at it. We'd play all the time in an attempt to make me better, but he'd always hammer me. One day, we were playing on Ascension, and being the jackwad he is, my friend got in the Banshee after going up a few kills to put the game away. I'd managed to find the rockets and took aim as he was coming straight for me. I tried to lock on, then I fired. My rocket missed, his bomb hit, and I died. I respawned looking for a way to take him down, and died a few more times over the next few minutes. Then, as I prepared myself for another death out in the open, my friend pulled the trigger. And he exploded. My rocket, after a wayward journey, had finally found its target. That's where I really fell in love with Halo.

Edited by Doomkicker: 7/12/2013 4:55:28 PMi remember it quite well it was when all of my halo friends were doing a mad dash for the vidmaster challenges i had a group of three friends who wanted to be the first in our circle of friends. our little group consisted of me as leader another as our secondary and the other two were our newbs who we love and cherish we had smashed through and just sprinted straight to our safe spots only using head shot weapons to kill the flood. we climbed the tower and killed the oracle. after many deaths and retrys we got our ghosts and did a straight line running down enemies left right and center i got us in to a straight line formation all behind me because i knew the most direct and safe lanes to finish the ending race we got through on the first try and screamed in victory as we jumped in the dawn as champions among our friends P.S. Sorry for the long post but that night was a night to remember and it was a long and difficult task which took time to complete. but thank you Bungie for creating the halo series. Halo 3 has still to this day been my number 1 to me it was the perfect game and i imagine that if you continue to make great games as always destiny could be my number 1

Edited by ToxicBallerV1: 7/12/2013 1:18:11 PMTwas the eve of my 12th birthday(September 14th, 2010), on which Halo Reach came out, my soul downtrodden with anticipation to receive my first Halo game, created by the supreme gaming company, Bungie. Now, the game was a totally new system of playing, very different from, excuse my language, "Call of Duty", but I enjoyed Reach much more. For my first Halo game, I was impressed by the deep, rich environments in which the players fought in on the Matchmaking servers, and immersed in the remarkable story line of the campaign missions. Now, I can only reminisce, those days are behind me now.....Gone....

It was the eve before, what was potentially, the most fearsome day of my life. 3 years ago, to the day, as I write this. July 8th, 2010. The hospital was my destination in the morning. Not for just a check up. Rather a surgery. A surgery to remove, what I had recently discovered to be, the cancerous skin on my neck. Melanoma is no joke, and I was scared. Very scared. So how does one prepare for this? All night Halo 3 session! Starting at sunset and not ending until I left for the hospital in the morning at the crack of dawn. The night was full of friends, laughter, 4-shots, explosions, crazy racing, random custom games, and more explosions and laughter. The tension was eased, and I was able to move into the next day with lifted spirits and subsided fears. -tacB P.S. Sorry for the length... i know you said 100 words but I couldn't express the feelings this night gave me in such few of them! It was such a big deal to me at the time and is now and I really cannot thank you enough for your involvement in that night! I also attached a picture of my fully healed and completely cancer-free scar as a reference

Trust me. This puts the "humm" in fu-humm-n....wait. All juiced up on caffeine and ready to unleash my bloodthirsty teenage angst to the outlet known as Halo 2, I had a particular team deathmatch on Headlong in which started as any other but we couldn’t locate any adversaries. Finally reaching their base, we found them all crouching in sync and humming in unison. They let us kill them, laugh, and join them in this kumbaya and I will never forget the weirdest experience of my halo career. I have never made friends faster; Thank you random humming men.

I once made an elephant fly wit my friends... Got out of a couple of maps.

Halo 3 with my friends was the greatest time I had with any Bungie game...so far. We played Pirate Sharks on Sandtrap A LOT and it was crazy fun. The great moments are countless but my favorite was when there would be a few of us left and we would go to the top of the hill. There we would make our last stand against the myriad of zombies. We were humanity's last chance of survival and it would get more frightening as you heard your teammate’s last, blood curdling, scream, right before they were slaughtered by a zombie.

Edited by Ajax: 7/9/2013 4:44:41 PMWhen I was about 10, we had just gotten a new family computer, and my dad was showing my brother and I some new games he had gotten. It was stuff like half life 2, and it was really exciting. Soon after, my brother and I found halo. We weren't really allowed to get m games, nor did we have any money, so we secretly downloaded the trial version. We played the silent cartographer so much I memorized all the lines from it. As soon as we got another computer, we played LAN games for years straight, and we still play now. TL;DR: I only played the trial version of CE, and I memorized all the lines.

I think my favourite moment was when my friends and I were playing Infection on Halo 3. Three of us had gotten into a Warthog and started driving and circles around the map, and we managed to kill our other friend who was the zombie several times. We started to taunt him. And then when one of my friends yelled "Man, Do you even Halo?!" the Warthog suddenly exploded, and killed us all. Our friend had snuck up on us. We laughed for minutes straight, and it still remains one of our most memorable Halo moments...

Back when I was around 12 I had the original xbox, and my dad had this game called halo: combat evolved I didn't know what game it was and when my dad went overseas to Afghanistan I used to pop in in the tray with my older brother and we played for hours on end. and that was my favorite bungie moment
-
It has to be when me and my friends were playing 4vs4 on halo 2, I can't remember the map but I was just sitting in a dark corner behind one of my friends for Atleast 5 minutes, when I got bored of waiting I just pulled out the energy swirl and stabbed him in the back, the shout of me scaring him was deafeningly hilarious, and since then every corner is checked by him in every game!

My best memory of a halo game is when I managed to get a large party together and complete the halo 3 campaign on legendary. I had always wanted to do this because the campaign on normal was to easy, but the fun did not stop once we finished the story mode it continued. We then played custom games( the best feature of halo 3). With a party of about 8 people the fun lasted through the night. So all and all my favorite Bungie moment is when ever I play a story mode or custom game of any type. Thank you.

A short story about my favorite moment while playing a Bungie game with my friends There is not a single occurrence that can be described as my favorite. I would say the experiences that were drawn out of my friends and I by Bungie were my favorite moments. Being apart of a community that has a wide variety of individuals is an awesome aspect about video games or any interest that someone may have. I started playing Halo CE with friends when it first came out, then moving to online play when Halo 2 came out. After playing slayer a couple times I had met people that had mics. We all immediately became invested in keeping in touch, playing video games together, and eventually meeting each other these past couple months after playing halo together since 2004. From the hours of game play, to music videos, to crazy antics, to talking smack to ksi, to finally meeting one another and having some beers.. I have to say Bungie, thanks for the adventure. Can't wait for Destiny, see you all when the time comes. irish smurf89

As much as I tried I couldn't pick only one moment. I'll just say the last 8 years and 10,000 some odd games have been awesome. Every friend I've met and laugh I've shared through Halo and Bungie has been one kick ass moment. I can't wait to do it again with Destiny.

Around 2005, my friend introduced me to halo 2, my first game to play by bungie. After I first played it, I couldn't stop since. After more than 20 hours of gameplay, I decided to try out the other halos, like the first one. I was mindblown by its awesomeness and after I finished the campaign, halo 3 just came out. Since it wasn't available for the original Xbox, I decided to buy a 360 just to play halo 3. I was very into the story of the halo universe, buying books and reading them. After years of playing halo 3, I found out about halo reach a year before its release. I was very very excited for it, and after another year of eagerness and anticipation of the next game, I finally bought halo reach the first day it came out, September 14, 2010. I played it literally nonstop for years, and people called me nerd and geek since the people in my high school didn't appreciate hardcore gamers, but I preferred to be called that than not miss out playing halo reach. After the campaign, and countless hours of the game, I found out about destiny, and knowing it was made by bungie, I was automatically excited for the new game. Waiting for the reveal trailer, I played halo reach. After watching the trailers, I couldn't help but want to save up for a ps4 just to buy destiny. The trailers alone blew my mind with epicness and until now I check everyday for more updates on destiny, anticipating and excitedly waiting for the new universe to be unveiled by bungie.

Edited by Darknal: 7/9/2013 10:45:07 AMI'm in UK so my entry will obviously be too late, sad face. And these words are counting towards my total count. It began one late evening, I spawned in lockout, immediately seeing the sniper on the tower (in Halo 2's glory days). I jumped down from the opposite side and ran towards the quick jump ledge, only to miss it and face my doom into the darkness. Sad Face! (Again).

4 RepliesReading to the bottom of this page! But in all seriousness it was in a game of capture the flag, it wasn't the winning point, no, but it was the best point scored ever. In my oppion. We were losing one to two, the enemy had made an attack on our base, these guys were obviously communicating, I guess they weren't very smart or something cause they sent their entire team at once, I was already at the base. I quickly nabbed the flag and took off on foot. Then I heard the familiar sound of a Banshee. I counted my blessings and said where I was, just before contact though, the thing took a direct hit from our scorpion, exploded into a ball of flames, I jumped over the wreckage, took a banshee cockpit to the knee, and scored a flag through the fire and flames. Sadly I never got to say: "Cool people don't look at explosions." -PS I actually cut out a whole 107 words, couldn't make it any shorter, already it's way less then I wanted. I also wrote this from my Xbox!

My story is a spontaneous one indeed. During the first time playing my Halo 2 campaign I was fiddling with an old mp3 player, listening to my favorite tracks on my playlist. I go to pause it and get back into my game. I arrive at the Gravemind level and begin to see the fights before me. All of a sudden I hear Breaking Benjamin - Blow me away playing. I check to see if I did leave my mp3 on after all. Then I noticed it, it was coming from the game, the song I was addicted to so much in that era. Needless to say a change of pants was needed. Thank you Bungie for the memories of sweet bliss.

Backin the day my group of friends would play race on bloodgulch (halo:ce). I was loosing after a few bad turns (like being flipped out of your hog just before a checkpoint and run over by a following racer. Then respawning on the other side of the map). I started killing drivers, stealing their hogs and hiding them in the cave. Eventually I got them all!! To my glea no-one realised until I parked the last one and there was silence with no engine noise just footsteps (amazing on 4 player split screen no-one had sneaked a peak at my screen). Forever that trick was called "kiwi-ing the hogs" (I was a kiwi in Idaho) heh heh heh

My favorite moment in Halo 3 was always when something ridiculous happened in forge mode or as a result of some clever or not-so-clever forging with some mates resulting in a moment of pure hilarity. For example when we made a sniper in the tower map, as we played it we realized that we'd made the gaps between cover to big making it impossible to get to the tower without getting shot. So after many failed tempts and a lot of taunting from my the mate in the tower, my other friend said "screw it" and grabbed the rocket launcher he had hidden away during forging and shot at the which was followed by a "wha-" then two successive explosions and laughter.
-
My super late entry: Back in Halo 1 my friends would play what we called Warthog Duels. Two drivers would be in warthogs and try and flip over the other driver's warthog with their hood and then kill the driver before they could get back in their warthog. Hours of fun and laughs to be had.

I was playing in the Halo 3 Beta when suddenly a Bungie employee opened up the custom games lobby to us on Valhalla. We were confused at first, but then we realized how cool of an opportunity we were given, so we toyed around with the low-gravity and the speed-modifiers for a little bit. I started sniping people left and right while floating 30 feet in the air, and when I told my friends the next day they were all jealous. Thanks Bungie!!!
