Mine is i was back in 2012 when me and my dad stayed up all night playing Halo reach and having a great time with people and just having fun.

I'll jest keep it simple by saying; Bungie Day 2011. Halo Reach. Blue Flames. All day with my best friends. That was the best day ever!

I don't think it is possible for me to name one specific best moment with a Bungie game, but rather the experience as a whole. For a good 2 years or so, Halo 3 was literally my life. The first and last thing I did in a day was play Halo 3 (well, first thing I did when I got home). On weekends EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I stayed up to play that game until no sooner than 3 at night. The custom games in it were amazing and I loved all of them. Were it not for Halo 3, I would have never gotten the internet, a gold subscription, or multiple Xbox's because they drop like flies. It also brought me to this website every single day of my life (though on my Riley1997 account) just to do stuff in the forums and to download maps. This was my ultimate Bungie moment, not one specific period of time but the entire experience as a whole.

A haiku wrapping up most of my games being my lone wolf self: Shield is depleted All was gambled on this task Where is my damn team?

Edited by major cinomonbun: 7/8/2013 4:15:52 PMThe best time I've had in a Bungie game with friends was in Halo 3. One of them was getting the Vidmaster Achievements. Annual. Before It Even started, we would meet up and make plans. We watched Videos, from those we got it, and tried to copy them. We got through the first half but driving was insane. We constantly cussed each other out for falling and making us restart. But when we got it, it felt amazing. We yelled over the mic, and celebrated on some custom games. Sky Castle, Lava pit, Flying the elephant, and the prez.

In the early days of Halo 3, I became friends with two of the most creative gamers I have ever met: c u l8er and killer200o, the founders and creators of the RACETRACKS gametype. I joined them in their efforts to establish a Halo racing community, worked tirelessly on testing new racetracks, and helped promote something in Halo that even made it into the base game of Halo: Reach. That accomplishment, and all the hours I spent working and having fun with the friends I made on HaloTracks, made Halo a very special franchise for me.

I've been a Bungie fan for years. Last year I used my love of the Bungie Halo series in my 3rd year for Extra Life. Extra Life is a 24 hour yearly gaming marathon where participants get sponsors to donate towards a children's hospital that we are playing for. I used my 24 hours to play through Halo Wars, CE, 2, ODST, and 3 that was live streamed. Was the best year I've done so far and raised hundreds of dollars for my local children's hospital. I'm just glad that I was able to share my love of Bungie with the world for a good cause.

Edited by Speider: 7/8/2013 4:17:50 PM"Blood Gulch, Xbox-LAN at home, free for all deathmatch". <--This is a title. Doesn't count against the 100 word limit. I'm just creatively using the tile to set the scene! :) Story: "A new player was in the middle of the map, familiarizing himself with the controls. Everyone else had gotten their hands on vehicles and power weapons, and like a hive-mind, we all saw him at the same time, rushing for an easy kill from all sides at once. Just as we were to descend on him, he spotted a weapon between the rocks, and leapt for it, oblivious to the "horde". Every other player shot, grenade-lobbed or boosted just as he jumped away. There was explosion. Every single player on the map died in a glorious explosion, except for him." That was the story. Exactly 100 words. "We pissed ourselves laughing. This is one of the reasons I play video games." This was an additional epilogue, considered "bonus content", and does thusly not count towards the 100 word limit ^_^

[b]My favorite Halo moment occured while playing Reach SWAT mode on Reflection. The score between both teams was pretty close until the same three players on my team were repeatedly gunned down. Assuming they were in the same party because they quit the match at the same time. Shortly after, my reamaining team quit, leaving me to fend for myself. The score was 35 to 29. Two of their players quit, so it was one against four now. I ended up winning the match with my heart pounding... End score 50 to 44. I still have the replay :D[/b]

I know this is too late, but I still want to share it: When I was 15, I purchased an Xbox exclusively because I wanted to play Halo 2. I had saved up money during the whole summer to buy it. My parents would not let me get Xbox Live, so one night when all my friends came over, I used my mother's credit card to purchase a subscription to Live. My punishment when she found out was 6 months with no internet (not including Xbox Live), and it was totally worth it. Playing Halo 2 on Live with my friends that night was the funnest gaming experience of my life. Thanks Bungie for developing the games that have helped create some of the most memorable experiences of my life.

On a head shot spree with my fav friends in Halo 2 as I work my way deeper into the level on Delta Halo. The Elites grab their ghosts, but they prove not to be quick enough as I nail both of them with a scorpion tank.

I bought an Xbox 360 just to play Halo 3. My brother and I naively thought we could play campaign and locally and we wouldn't really need to play online, so we didn't buy a big hard drive for it. Needless to say, that didn't last long at all. But one day we were playing 1 vs 1 on Sandtrap and he was wanting to drive the warthog. I had killed him several times and he was angry that I wouldn't let him drive around. He turned his warthog towards me and barreled down a stretch of desert right towards me. At the last moment, I threw out a trip mine and he hit it with his right front tire. The warthog went into a barrel roll in the air just high enough to avoid hitting me. As the cockpit of the warthog came into view, it was directly above me. I pulled out my shotgun and blasted upward into the vehicle and it was a direct hit. My brother's character died and the warthog came crashing to a stop behind me. It was the coolest Halo 3 moment ever. It was just like a scene out of a movie. We were so disappointed that we didn't have the hard drive to go back and film it on, that we went out and bought one so that we would never miss the chance to film some Halo awesomeness.

Playing system link with my two brothers and 2 nephews. Our lan cables were too short so half of us played indoors and the other played outside! Damn glare of the sun and later a light sprinkle of rain on the fattest pair of tvs did not stop us from playing random weapons starts on Lockout. I think yelling through the window "Get that out of here!" when one of us killed a player who attempted a sword lunge (and felled) was probably the best thing ever.
-
I recall listening to Highway to Hell by AC/DC on the last mission of the campaign. Right as we went off one of the big jumps the song ended and the guitar fit so perfectly with that moment. It was nothing short of epic.

I was 11 and my brother was 9. Our parents didn't let us play M rated games, so one night when our grandma was babysitting us we convinced her to drive us to Blockbuster to get this cool game called Halo 3. I have a terrible sense of direction and my grandma didn't live in our town, so we ended up halfway to Arkansas by the end of the night. Eventually we got the game and made our way back home, where my brother and I stayed up all night killing Covies and searching for skulls. Thank god for grandma.

This is a paragraph from my 8th grade (2004) journal: [quote][i]“I had to visit Alex’s room, because he had an Xbox. There they made me play a game called Halo, some game where you kill aliens. Kevin was trying to run over Kaleb in a Warthog - a military vehicle with a huge gun, but he had trouble controlling it, so he never reached him in time.”[/i][/quote] Almost 10 years later: Destiny is pre-ordered, I still haven’t beaten Marathon 2 because it’s too hard, and Halo is the bike I’ll never forget how to ride. Thanks for everything guys!

My best friend came over to my house installed a game only known as halo sat me down in my chair and started the program. That program would be a my sole obsession for the next 5 years. In that time I've beaten all the halo games except for halo 4 on legendary on one console or another. And now I wait for the next big thing is gaming, the game that will set the standard for generations of game to come out.

Halo 3 was my first true love for Bungie. I have so many great memories that span the half decade in which Halo 3 has influenced me. From starting clans, being in machinimas, to making montages; and all the fun times with friends in between. Halo 3 also gave me the gift of friendship. Out of my friends list, majority of them were my teammates I met in team slayer. Bungie won me over with their awesome experiences given in the mythical multiplayer world of Halo. And I'm sure I will have many more memories and stories to tell about the vast world outside The City's walls. Be Brave Guardians.

The first time I played Halo was a system link game 4 vs. 4. When I arrived at my friend’s house he handed me a controller and I sat down on the ground in front of one of the two TV's placed back-to-back. The game started, Blood Gulch CTF. The joy when we finally killed the annoying guy who was guarding the flag with a shotgun was huge, and the look on the faces of the enemy team when we grabbed the flag and got into the warthog to race back to our own base and win the game was priceless.

So me and my brother were playing halo 2 under his profile. Some punk kid was calling us gay and -blam!- because of his name. We ended the tdm with me making 26 of my 36 kills in assignations to him. Where i took the headset and said so we are gay? Well you sure took it in the back a lot for us being gay. Then the que lineup exploaded and we got d/c

Edited by Ethsentray: 7/8/2013 2:36:52 PMThere was one time not too long ago, I was playing Halo: Reach, the Tip of the spear mission, I was at the last anti-aircraft gun before you get into the falcon with Jorge, I was on Legendary, I picked up a needler rifle drop shield and a plasma pistol, the last wraith's gunner was replaced by an elite, I walked towards the wraith shooting the gunner and as the wraith shot at me I immediately put down the shield and it absorbed the shot, destroying the shield, I quickly continued shooting the elite, and killed him, used the plasma pistol to stop the wraith and planted a grenade on the back. (crap I think that's too many words...)

I popped in Halo : Reach, searched for Team Slayer. Found a bungie employee on the other team, my immediate reaction was to jizz in my pants, so I did of course. I extinguished his flame in Team Slayer, thinking I would never get a chance like this again, had to commit unspeakable crimes against Unifisher's face. *named and shamed*

The day Halo 3 was released, my friend and I both received our Legendary Editions at midnight and took the game over to his house to enjoy the game in style. We were in high school and it was a school night, so we decided we probably didn't have time for Legendary. Instead, we finished the campaign on Heroic in time for school the next morning. We may not have been Legends that night, but even Heroes get to class on time.

My friend John and I play Halo 2 a LOT, and we have found a TON of glitches and Easter eggs, but this one tops them all. So we get the sputnik skull and go to the level Metropolis. We ditch the tank and get in a warthog and take the marines Rocket Launcher. I (holding the rockets) get in the passenger side and He starts driving. I shoot the ground (while in the hog) and it sends us flying through the air. It is my FAVORITE Halo 2 memory and if you haven't tried it yet, DO IT!

The day I bought Halo 3, I took it over to a friends house. Our first game of multiplayer was on Highground. As my team and I ran up toward the base, my cousin jumped on a mongoose and began driving to the gate. Along the way, my friend gad picked up a rocket, and when we came in sight of the gate he jumped and fired. The rocket flew straight as an arrow; underneath the mongoose between its wheels. It exploded behind the mongoose, killing my cousin, flew up, bounced off the top of the gate, and flew into me and my friend who shot the rocket. So our first shot in our first game of Halo 3 was a kill, a betrayal, and a suicide, giving him a score of -1. We still laugh at that to this day.

My friend and I were playing Reach, teamed up to deal some death on Mt Lam Lam. The Red's are better than us, more prepared. But my buddies damn good at piloting anything that flies. He gets in the Falcon and I'm on a gun, raining hot metal death. He yells that there's an incoming rocket. But he dodges it. Does the same to another fired right after that one. Then, I see them. Four glowing balls headed straight for us. I try to warn him but the they connect, one sticking to my face. They explode, we die, and we laugh.
