    When Halo CE was released my home console was a Gamecube and I never got to play that game unless I was round at a friends house. When Halo 2 was out me and many of my friends would meet up and play some CTF on Zanzibar all night long. The multiplayer was like nothing I had played before and it was really what got me into gaming. When the next generation of consoles came out I knew I needed to own the platform that would allow me to finish the fight and I was ready when it came out. I spent the weeks running up to the release of Halo 3 playing through the previous games and loving the storyline. Halo 3 was a slight disappointment at the time but I am still playing the multiplayer to this day. After ODST helping to keep me interested in the franchise I am excited on Tuesday to finally play Reach which in my eyes will always be the last proper Halo game. I never consider myself a fanboy but I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the finished product. Thoughts on Halo anyone?

    Would you be mad if you walked in on Halo and it was having sex with another person?

    @BigBoss1911:
     
    Halo CE, despite the copy-and-pasted levels, was a masterpiece. The combat, AI, open levels, and weapons reeked with flows and wonders that many shooters wished they had. It also had a story that was in comparison to a lot of great sci-fi novels like Larry Nylund's Ring World.
