Why I'm so damn excited for HALO3 - Share your best, past Halo moments!

People who enjoyed Halo2 on Xbox Live, watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsqzKdaoQjk&mode=related&search= It's a GameStop ad you might have seen before. Doesn't that bring back fun gaming memories?

I am not a Lemming, or a Halo fanboy who believes that it's the only good shooting game (and I don't want to push others to like it if they don't). I haven't read the books, don't have legendary edition preordered, don't really even care about the story. But Halo2 was a blast to play with other people on Xbox Live. Everything worked smoothly. Matchmaking & levels gave you incentive for your team to win. Custom games were always fun (remember playing zombies? Flipping tanks? And I know you played Power of Tower at one point).

I think that the game's core simplicity was also probably a very big reason the game was as fun as it was to so many players. You never feel lost with the controls in Halo, whether it's sniping or splattering people with a ghost. Players of almost any skill level could play the game and have fun. And everything about the game has that "clean and crisp" feeling to me.

Let's post some great moments we had playing Halo2.I'm sure we can expect even more from Halo3, because we'll have a lot more stuff to mess around with. I can already imagine crazy forge matches, and trying to get easter eggs playing online co-op.

some of my Halo2 moments

-One time, I shot a full warthog a little bit with a plasma rifle, and it went down into the water on Waterworks. Triple kill... that was so funny to me.

-There was also that time where we were singing in a custom match. One of those childrens songs where somebody sings a line, and then a bunch of kids repeat. Except the "kids" were a bunch of us with voice masking on. I could not help but burst out laughing, that was so damn funny.

-Oh, that makes me think of that one time on a Coagulation big team battle. Me "Maybe it would be cooler if there was in game music." Friend w/ fake lisp "Well, we can jutht make our own moothik!!! (starts singing - he sucks at singing)."

-Then, getting hit by the train on Terminal when we jumped out of the top story of the garage building in a warthog.

-Doing well in double team matches (2 vs. 2) with my friend.

-CTF or assault on waterworks or coagulation with a lot of people was always fun.

-Obviously, the first time we flipped tanks was awesome (one tank on top of an upside-down one, then flip and the top one goes flying).

-Yelling "OH MY GOD THEY'RE SHOOTING AT ME!!!" in a British accent when the game started on Warlock.

-Countless splatters with the ghost (the ghost is awesome :)). Sometimes even with a warthog. Or a wraith. Or a banshee.

-Lastly, the "overload glitch." My friend and I would talk about it's greatness in big team battle pre game lobby, to make people believe us. It meant that everybody crouched in a circle and threw grenades at the ground at the same time to autimatically win the game (except, obviously everyone died and had to laugh because they believed such BS). The best overload glitch instance was when one guy didn't take the bait, but got the rocket launcher and fired at all 7 of us (7x betrayal).

So basically, I'm excited for Halo3's XBL functionality. I would say, Screw finishing the fight... but there's 4 player online co-op, with scoring, so even the Halo2 players who couldn't tell you what happened in the game's campaign mode will be able to this time.

big team battle. 8 vs 8. 62 kills 11 deaths. 2 banshee's stolen in mid air, 44 head shots, 20 assist. it was a good game. I have pics on photo bucket.

getting in a tank for the first time in H1. i got that giddy feeling hehehe......he. charging along the beach in the 3rd level in H1 is also great crack. and the second level in H2 was pretty kewl.....shame it fell on its face afterwards.

i really hope the SP in H3 is as good as or better than H1. wont be touching the MP so it better be up to par.

Assault 2 vs 4 I won somehow.

Rumble Training 36 kills with a pistol.

First day I got the game 8 player rocketball on Foundation is ridiculous.

my best halo memory is when i stopped playing it after a couple minutes.themagicbum9720

You're apparently an animal crossing fan right? yet you bash halo? animal crossing is possibly one of the most boring games ever.

my best is 43 kills after my enitre team quit and I was up againt 4 other opponents I won the freaking match. :D

48 for 23. lol

I've played and beaten it, but don't particularly care for the series. I do have 1 memorable moment though.

I went to this one halo party (8 vs. 8) and the match was Slayer, beaver creek, free for all, shotgun's andswords only, 100 points to win. Everyone there sucked, 'cept me and my friend. The entire matchwas basically me and him neck and neck, while everyone was dropping like flies. I had finally passed him up, my score 96 and his 95. Allof the sudden I heard him sayfrom the other room "Hey everyone, help me take out Joe.". Out of nowhere eight guys circled me... I threw a grenade to the left (Double kill) then I nailed a guy with my shot gun. My friend and I were the closest: it all depended on that duel. He made the stupid mistake of jumping before striking me with his sword. Istickied him in the air, then when he got close enough I lunged at him (Making him fly back.) then he blew up.

My best Halo round ever.

When I had 45 kills and 2 deaths in Team Deathmatch with a sucky team, when I was an one man army against eight people, and when me, when I managed to kill twoopposing players with a sniper rifle when they were attacking the guy with the flag in Zanzibar (he was like.... "Uh.. Wow, thanks man.),and my ally planted the bomb with stealth. I won all those matches. :D

I can't wait for Halo 3! I'm just going to head to the campaign and when I have the chance, multiplayer with my friends. :) Wow, now I really want to play Halo 2. :P

My best Halo 2 moment was a 2 on 4 game with my teammate who wasn't even there, i still one, i was a level 29 at the time and i managed to win it.

I can totally understand you guys not reading my ones cause my post was such a long one, but read this one... nobody can beat that :)

"-There was also that time where we were singing in a custom match. One of those childrens songs where somebody sings a line, and then a bunch of kids repeat. Except the "kids" were a bunch of us with voice masking on. I could not help but burst out laughing, that was so damn funny."

I HIGHLY recommend everyone trying that.

I don't have any good memories of Halo 2, but in Halo: CE I've always loved having Warthog battles on the ice in Sidwinder.

Get a bunch of people together to play a custom game of Zombie. I forgot the level we played it on, it has four small rooms around it numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. Anyways, you would go into a certain room where you could barricade the door. But the best is when you are one of the last few remaining. Something about it is just so fun and coolSnowboarder99

I have a few very fond memories of Halo CE - system link play of course. I also remember this time when we got bored of killing each other and just tried to see who could crash the vehicles the best.Erkidu

I don't even wana know how many hours I've spent just cruising around Coag. in a warthog while just talking to people.

if you can get 05 kills in a game to 100 using swords. they were not even playing. I dont care how you justify it. every HALO player in here is laughing at this BS right now. and we all know it is just that. BS. swords and no one can kill. that is the biggest BS joke I have ever heard of any game in these forums ever period.

ROCK303

Get some of these, pal. I said it was FREE FOR ALL. Everyone there got 30-40 kills.

CTF Halo PC version, Blood gulch, i was blue, got to red base and grabed the flag, so i go to the teleport on the roof but theres a red dude right in front of me, so he goes through, and i follow him, when i get through he just runs to blue base and doesent realise im behind him, so i follow him closly and then when i notice hes about to turn around i smack him with the flag and he dies, it was so great.FancyKetchup25

Various things in the campaign that I don't remember all involving co-op with my best friend.

Multiplayer stuff-

Ramming a ghost with a Gauss Warthog and then my friend fires the cannon into the gas tank point blank, the "up, down" sniper event...the story for that was as such.

My friend was hiding on Relic. I saw him jump, and shot at him. I missed. This happened a few more times, and he started saying "Up, down" repeatedly. At one point, he jumped and I shot him in the head. "Down", I say. This is kind of a running joke every time we get into a sniper battle.

Warthog demolition derbies.

Warthog demolition derbies with a Banshee as a third party.

So many great memories- in the campaign co-op I remember accidentally being team-killed, because my friend dropped a Warthog off a cliff...right on top of me.

Spelling "Halo" with dead bodies....

aww thanks :oops:

Halo will never touch the warkhawk multiplayer ---- even sony defense force and many other call it the greatest multiplayer game of all time ! try it and ull agree with me

But i agree with most of you guys, Halo 3 seems like a ok game with a enhanced halo 2 multiplayer

Fakeboy, moving on.

One of my best games was a match of team snipers on Headlong. At the end of the game, our team won the match with 42 kills. I personally had 22 of those kills, 12 of which being headshots, and a good number (can't remember exactly) of grenade tags.

One of the funniest moments I had was going one on one with my cousin on Sidewinder. He was boasting about how good he was so I had to take him on. Well, I got myself a rocket launcher and spotted him running around halfway across the map. I fired, not expecting to hit him, morejust to scare him. Keep in mind that we were playing splitscreen. Well, he stood there looking around for a moment as the rocket slowly apporached him. It took a good five (or more) seconds to reach him, which is ample time to avoid the rocketbut when it was about two feet away from him, he just yelled "oh ****" and tried to move but it was too late and I hit him right in his chest. It was hilarious.

Another of my favorite moments was playing Halo 1 on Blood Gulch. Again, I had a rocket launcher in hand going one on one with a friend. Well, we approached each other in the middle of the map. He was on the other side of a small hill. I saw him on my radar as we approached one another. Well, I jumped out above him, and on his screen, I caught a glance of him looking straight up, only to see my spartan outlined by the suns rays from over head as I fired down on him. it looked amazing.

One of my favorite moments was from the Halo 3 beta. I was playing on Valhalla and I jumped into the man cannon. I was hurled forward, only to smack head on into a banshee flying ovehead, killing me instantly. I didn't even care that I had killed myself. It was just that funny. What made it even funnier was the fact that my own teammate was driving it, so we both had a good laugh about it after I respawned.
