Well a few days ago I picked up a copy of Halo ODST because I heard news of the Halo Reach beta test opening today. Right now I currently sit next to my Xbox waiting for the beta to open. As I sat here I started to think of involved the Halo series has been with my life.
When I was back in 5th grade the first Halo came out. After going to my friends house and playing it every weekend. I remember desperately begging my parents for an xbox, so I could play Halo. Finally one year after the Halo release my parents got me an xbox for Christmas. Even though the game was already a year old I still had to buy it and I still spent countless hours playing.
Then in 8th grade word of Halo 2 hit the schools. I had saved up my lunch money for weeks and went to the pre release with one of my best friends to pick up Halo 2. My parents even let me stay home from school the next day because they knew how long I have been waiting for Halo 2 to come out. Back then I did not have internet, so again I had to go to my friends house every weekend so we could enjoy the online multiplayer.
Then again 3 years later like clock work I was a junior in High school. Me and my same friend both attended the Halo 3 pre release and even picked up the Legendary edition which cost $120. by this time I had a part time job, so everything was affordable for me. For 2 years I played Halo 3 with my close friends.
Then college hit and I moved into the dorm rooms and found my self with very little spare time and even less money, but I still remember nights of playing halo with my dorm mates after a 5 hours study session.
it has only been recently that I have stopped playing Halo for about 9 months, but now that I catch word of the new Halo Reach I am thrilled for the beta test and even more excited for the release this November.
Halo has been a huge game linked to my childhood and as you can see it has lasted me from 5th grade in elementary school all the way to a sophomore in college. I just wanted to see if there were any other Halo nerds here on GS, we could possibly play some time. If not whats a game that has been a huge part of your life?

i must say it is pretty fun. specially playing with another friend. i havent played any other halo yet. but im sure ill be picking them up sometime.
lets get together someday on xbox live to kill some aliens!
zelda has probably been the top game in my life. together with final fantasy series.
the rpg genre has always fascinated me in many ways.
If any one is interested in adding on xbox live my gamer tag is: xPlayer E
Send me a request with a message letting me know your from GS and ill be sure to add you.
I purchased Halo 2, and played it briefly, and also Halo 3 which I have yet to crack open.
The long list of games that I have yet to play just keeps adding up every year!
But I certainly have fond memories of playing the first Halo game
I'd worked in retail before and had seen the effect that Goldeneye had on people who saw it for the first time. They just wanted an N64 to be able to play that game.
Halo, I noted, held the same level of excitement for those people seeing it for the first time. It just looked soooo good.
Went to the launch party (which was the console launch party) in Oxford street here in the UK - celebs were there, and Halo of course. Went home with my new console and Halo and played it till the morning. Great, great game
Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home...

88% on beta download so far. soon I will be gone from the GS boards for about a week and a half.
hahah goodbye GS for at least a week...
want to die?
gamer tag is: Head Hunters360
(just make sure you put from gamesalad or something or you'll get ignored haha)
Then again i still pop on and play jedi outcast from time to time too lol!!
You guys got me fired up though.. Maybe its time to invest in a 360
I can guarantee one thing....
A week is nothing, you probably wont see me for like 6 months when The Old Republic comes out.
Who's with me there!! Seriously
Ill probably join a guild and quit sleeping
Oh man starcraft was another game of mine. Probably my favorite computer game of all time. I did not get into the beta, but I do have some friends that are very tech savvy with a computer and got a cracked version of the beta... but I can only play verse the computer and that got to easy so I have not played it in a month or so. Looking forward to that comming out soon though as I heard the release date is July 27th (2 days before my birthday!).
@chosenonestudios
I'll add you right now to my friends maybe we can play tonight
