I met my ex shortly before the release of Halo 2. She was very excited, and made me play the Halo CE campaign all the way through in one session. We played split-screen for nearly 8 hours and my enjoyment of the Halo universe was seeded. Halo 2 came out and I didn't even have an Xbox. I was constantly on my ex's account playing training and explaining to my ex's friends that they didn't want to play with a nubb like me. This caused many arguments because she constantly got on my back about playing on her account. She also firmly denied any time I requested that we play split-screen on Live. She eventually ended up getting me my own box and copy of Halo 2 so that I would stay off of hers. Long story short, it all came down to one game on a warm May afternoon. I was playing at my place, she at hers. It was Team Hardcore, oddball on Midship. I wasn't playing great, but I'm always sneaky with the oddball. We were obviously out-matched and losing bad. The only thing keeping us in the game was my sneaky ways. I was hiding in one spot that was hard to get to for quite some time. After a while, the spot became extremely obvious and the other team caught on. The next time I got the ball, I got even sneakier. I hid in a room on the opposite side of the wall from where I was hiding. Obviously this worked, not just on the other team but also on my ex. She began a violent rant about how stupid I am/was being. She told me to stop hiding in the same spot. She screamed that it was obvious. She freaked out on me blurting out every problem she had ever had with me regarding Halo. I lashed back. I screamed back. I defended myself - "Not only am I in a different spot, I also have the most kills, ball time, and (insert expletives) you!" She quit the game... minutes later she sent me a text message dumping me.[b] "I'm done"[/b] All because of a misunderstanding during a game of Team Hardcore - Oddball on Midship. I got dumped because of Halo EDIT: Also need to mention that we had been together for over 2 years when this happened. On top of that, she started seeing someone she met on Halo 2 who was originally MY friend... man, I feel sick now... [Edited on 01.03.2008 10:58 AM PST]
