I used to work at a video store that was connected to a video game store (bet you guys will have trouble guessing what chain this was). ANYWAYS they would have tournaments every month and give away a prize as determined by their manager. However, this paticular location was not one of the finest of the organizations, so they couldn't really afford to give any more then they had to. So each month they made it a Halo tournament, and since they could not participate themselves, they would come over to the video store side and grab me and 2 of my fellow employees and have us compete. They would spread us out amongst the brackets and 5 months in a row, one of us won. The best part, nobody ever seemed to pick up we worked in the adjacent store and figured out what was going on. =)

Me and my Girlfriend starting going out on September 25th 2006. Then exactly one year later Halo 3 came out on our one year anniversary. It was probably the best day ever I got Halo at midnight, played all morning, then slept while she was at school, then had a nice date. followed by playing halo with her. Luckily enough she likes Halo too, so after a long day of Halo 3, sleep, a date, more Halo 3 and "other things" I was exhausted. So I went to bed and the next day finished up the last two levels of campaign, then began to pwn the noobs on Xbl.

I'm a grad student doing experimental physics at Brookhaven National Lab. When I was dropped in front of a high power laser a couple of years ago and told to steer the beam over a long and tortured path with sub millimeter precision I at first despaired. I cheered up when I realized I could apply all those hours of precision BR and sniper and rocket fire to anticipate where the beam would go when I made ridiculously small adjustments to the tilts of my mirrors. It's the same fine motor control and intuition. Thank you Halo!

Hmm....I take offense to your use of "Any person" under the age of 16. We're not all like that, it's just sad that the majority of us are as you described. Some of us (Myself included) are pretty much the opposite of what you said we were. Anyway, onto topic now. I've met rather a good few of my now best friends in the early days of halo 2, and a 1 or 2 more in halo 3. Thanks Bungie :)

I once got a killtacular on halo. Me and my friends decided to do a joke and we put it on my resume for Mcdonalds. Once I got hired my boss came up to me and said, "Oh, you play halo. My son does too. I think you'd do great with him in the Drive-through window." :( But yes this is a true story and me and my friends still laugh about it today, where now I have a real job for a Logistics company. I still play Halo now and I continue to tell the story to everyone I play with.
-
I've met a lot of people on Halo who are now good friends. We play almost every day. Halo also led me to one of my favorite b.net groups, which is a fun community in itself!

Halo 3 helped me learn how to use a Sniper Rifle. Now I'm a mass murderer, still at large. It's soooo easy, all you have to do is aim above the persons head, because real people's headshot hit areas are there too. And when I go to beat my wife, I always win because I have more health, it doesn't matter if she hits first. Oh yeah, and when I go to hang out with my friends, we just sit around for hours on end, because we can't find that last person to play whatever game.. Because uneven teams are just unfair...

One Day I meet a guy that play all the day halo 2 and Halo 3. He is the son of a major, he got a job in his office. I found true love by playin Halo 3.

I met my now husband while casually playing Halo2 on xbox live when it first came out. Sure, we hear a lot of crap about it at times but it was great because we weren't looking for romance at the time but were able to build a strong friendship through a mutual love of the game. The following year he moved 500 miles to the state where I lived to pursue a relationship. We were married later that year and now have a two year old son. Together, we run our site's competitive team the Halo 3 Junkies from halo3.junk.ws so we still use the mutual love of halo to be able to spend time together. We've also met some amazing people along the way, mostly through online halo communities and I'd honestly say that I consider many of these people just as close to me as local friends. Although it seems a bit embarrassing to tell people "I met my husband on xbox live", I tend to try to keep a realistic outlook on the situation. People generally connect with friends or significant others through mutual interests. If you are a big drinker, chances are that you'll meet the majority of new people at bars or parties. If you are into cars, chances are you'll meet people through tracks, car clubs, or even body shops. All of us on here just so happen to enjoy video games and I'm not surprised at the response so far that suggests many of us feeling close to other people that we've met through this game and even find romance! ... and yes, I'm a real, live girl playing Halo. If there was any question before, there shouldn't be now due to my mushy gushy response! :D [Edited on 01.03.2008 10:17 AM PST]

me and my girlfriend werent allowed to see each other because of her parents so after she was grounded off of the phone, computer, and leaveing her house. Using her brothers 360 i set up an account for her and we talked using halo as well as our relationship grew leading to me proposing and finally the two of us becoming Mr. and Mrs. Robinson

My girlfriend always hated Halo, but didn't hate all video games. I told her that she was more than welcome to play Halo with me, and that she might enjoy it. She always refused to play, strictly on the merits that she hated it and was stubborn. Sooooo..... She also always wanted to have her picture posted on www.collegehumor.com. On collegehumor, users can select to "Like" a picture, and it keeps tallies of how many "likes" each picture gets. Because my girlfriend is smoking hot and the internet likes boobs, I told her she'd get well over 1000 likes. Being modest, she said she'd be lucky to get 100 likes. So, I made a bet with her that if her picture got 1000 "Likes," she would have to play Halo 3 with me. Within 24 hours of posting the picture, she got 1000 likes. So, when Halo 3 came out, we went out at midnight, and picked a copy up. We played single player until 3:30 in the morning, and eventually beat campaign together. This was a gift and a curse. On one hand, she now loves halo: watching me play, playing herself, and using Halo inside jokes in everyday conversation. The bad side is, when I come home and want to play Halo, she is hogging my Xbox. So, while Halo didn't spurn our love, I thought this was a fitting story for this thread. I was going to put a link to the picture, but it's [b]NSFW[/b]. It contains two nipples. That are pierced. And belonging to a female. However, it is extremely tasteful. If someone can clear up whether or not I can post the link without catching a forum banhammer, let me know, and I'll edit with the link.

I have lots of girls that are friends, not all of them being girlfriends. And whenever I have any of them over to my house, we play tonnes of Halo 3! And they all love it, my current girlfriend gets jealous whenever i tell her im playing halo 3. Although, only one of them can ever get kills that werent accidents, ahaha.

Sadly, I've never met anyone through Halo in real life. And unless you're signing up for Pro Gamer or Bungie Staff, there's no way in hell you can get a job playing Halo. Next year, though, I'm gonna say hi to my Group leader and eat hamburgers with him. He's cool.

I met my best friend on Halo:CE PC about a year ago, one day he joined my server, we got along and we talked on msn continually, and even though he lives in America and I live in England, he is still my best friend, Thanks Cody if you read this. :D.

The social capacity of the Halo Nation is staggering. I have met some the best friends in my world playing Halo. While that might sound unhealthy, all friendships begin with a common interest. The platforms for community and interaction enable us to really illustrate our personalities playing this game. The first real life connection was made when someone from my friends list came to my bachelor party. My wife [then fiance] was none too amused. "How do you know this person? How can you trust this person?" "Baby, this guy has covered my back through some pretty fierce combat. He's a good man. I would [and do] trust him with my life." SInce then, we have hosted an annual LAN Party on Labor Day Weekend. Meeting gamers in person is always surreal. It's an odd thing to admit that a video game has greatly enriched the group of people in this world that I call "Friends". We even started a business together, launching a charitable foundation.

I discovered an alien planet that had come into possession of a copy of Halo, and worships it like a god. After showing them my mad pwnage skills which may or may not be entirely fictional, They appointed me their supreme leader. If bungie needs any help in taking over the world, they've got a really good design for antigravity slingshots.

ive powned many noobs around the world making many cry and turn off there xbox's in shame without halo this would not be possible thxs bungie

Back on February 14th I met my current girlfriend actually on Myspace. She was looking for a friend of hers and saw my profile and decided to add me. I saw on her profile that she was into Halo just like me! I was like NFW! But it's true, and we played a few matches together that day. Here's are very first match we played together [url]http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=653453857&player=SPARTAN%20sui[/url] After that match I was falling fast. We talked for a few days and got to really know each over live spending many hours just messing around on Halo and having a great time. Couple months later I asked her out on our favorite Halo 2 map Lockout and we've been together ever since than. =) The summer was amazing, we made plans to meet each other being this is a long distance relationship, but my parents weren't so hot on me going to another state to see a girl. Even though I wasn't able to see her, the time we spent together this summer was still great. Than September 25, 2007 was coming up, the BIG day. Well there was one problem with this, my girlfriend, Paige, she didn't have an Xbox 360 even to play Halo 3. Well I didn't want her to miss out on the Halo 3 experience! I wanted for both of us to enjoy the campaign experience together, for the first time, so I gave her my old 360 and I bought her Halo 3 Legendary Edition. [url]http://www.sui-online.com/images/myspace4/IMG_1491.JPG[/url] [url]http://www.sui-online.com/images/myspace4/IMG_1508.JPG[/url] I've also done the whole spelling something out with weapons thing for her and this is what I came up with. [url]http://www.sui-online.com/images/myspace4/10633218-Full.jpg[/url] If anyone would like to see the map I'll put it up on my fileshare, I spent around 3 hours making this map and it was totally worth it when I did show her it. She loved it and was really surprised, that tedious worth really did pay off, haha. Here's our profiles [url]http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=SPARTAN%20sui[/url] [url]http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=crazychick514[/url] Here's a picture of my girl wearing a shirt of mine and a Grunt Whistle I made in school, lol. This was from this summer. [url]http://www.sui-online.com/images/myspace4/FromJacob%20012.jpg[/url] Needless to say, I did meet the love of my life with help of Halo. Thank you Bungie!

I work at a company that sells Xbox 360 products (as well as Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP, PC games, DVDs, etc.) in mass quantaties. Microsoft hooked us up with some free original Xbox consoles back before there was such a thing as an Xbox 360, even pre-[i]Halo 2[/i]. We used them back in those days to play LAN games of [i]Halo: Combat Evolved[/i], but upgraded to [i]Halo 2[/i] right after it was released. Since we haven't yet been successful in convincing our contacts at Microsoft that we need 360s for "market research," we still play LAN games of [i]Halo 2[/i] at work pretty much every day during our breaks. Since [i]Halo 3[/i] was released, we regularly make comments like, "that would've made a great film," or, "a screenshot of that would've made a great wallpaper." It's really quite tragic.

I remember before Halo 3 was released I had this ongoing fear that my girlfriend would feel neglected, so I made it my duty to make her a pwner, or I would be forced to sleep on the couch. Anyhow, the release date came...September 25th...and well I spent a quarter of the day with her, and I felt wrong leaving her to go wait in line for the rest of the day, but she insisted. So I went, got the game and when she was over for the next couple of days, I finally convinced her in to picking up a controller in playing...Needless to say, hours later we were still playing, she was a natural with the snipe and she pwned with the hammer. This screenshot is actually her sniping this guy and she's only been playing for a like a day by this time. [url]http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/425/pwnce8.jpg[/url] Anyway...Months have passed and the Master Chief has not set us apart...its even helped bring us together....we bong when we play Halo, and she doesn't just pretend to like it, she gets overly excited about it sometimes, and she even comes over...LOOKING TO PLAY HALO!...On top of all that we've started a wall painting thats been neglected over the holidays but hopefully we can pick it back up soon :) She's painting Cortana, and I'm painting the Chief. [url]http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9757/1006581ll7.jpg[/url] So yes Halo helps relationships blossom...in a nutshell lol...But you have to wield it like a weapon to your advantage, otherwise she'll dump you!

Well... I first discovered Halo when I was on the tiny Pacific island of Tuvalu. The locals frequently performed a sacrifice to someone they called "God Chief," clearly a hamming of "Master Chief." Every day, before the sun came up, the whole island held a halo tournament. The loser was deemed the sacrificial "n00b," and would be sacrificed to ensure the rising of the sun. After having to play through about four rounds, my beginner's luck wore off, and I lost my fifth morning there. Of course, I had no intention of being sacrificed, so I bolted for the treeline. Unfortunately, Tuvalu is incredibly small. Really small. As such, I realized that I would not be able to escape for good. However, I theorized that if I could live it out until the sun came up, the tribe would realize how unnecessary the sacrifice was. At one point, I was hiding on a roof. The roof caved in and I fell into the lap of the Princess Cavalu. She fell in love with me, we had an R-rated sex scene, and then she agreed to help me out. As we were running through the streets, hiding from alley to alley, I glanced at my watch. 7:45. Dawn was minutes away. I looked to the horizon. Where was the sun streaming over the crystal blue? Nothing there but the relentless waves, pounding at the shore as the sacrificial drums. Then I realized that there was something to their mythology--without Halo, the sun doesn't come up. I had made a discovery, and my life was still on the line. However, I suddenly came up with an idea. I ran to their temple and stood at the top of the stairs. "I am the n00b!" I said. "But Jubbinju (the person who defeated me) is a H4X0R!!!" The crowd gasped and swung to look at him. Astonished, he did not reply in time, and was carted off to be sacrificed in my place. I used that day to get the hell off the island. To this day, my friends and I play halo every night to ensure the sun arises the next day.
