I grew up as my little brother's backseat gamer. The 2 consoles we owned we got for X-mas as a gift for both of us but he rarely let me play because I am female and rather timid, but as long as I got to give him directions when he was stuck I was rather content with that situation. And then one day there was Halo, it was a true delight to watch and to talk about after we had to turn the console off and at one point my brother asked our mom for a second controller so we could play co-op. Never before and never after did he actually want me as his player two but with Halo we had both fun. I was his second in command, even when I was the one with the ideas he decided the timing and gave the orders, and together we played the game more than I can count today. Halo was what turned me from a backseat gamer and advisor into someone who was eager and confident enough to shoot stuff, explore, and... well, play. I will never forget Halo.

I'd recommend getting a cheap Xbox 360 (they can go REALLY cheap these days) and making use of its backwards compatibility to play the whole trilogy and Reach split-screen. Sure, you won't get flashy graphics but it's the next best thing. The Xbox One's of course another option that isn't quite as cheap. PC games have almost never offered split-screen and that's just the way it is. For instance, if Gearbox was told to implement split-screen for Halo PC, Gearbox would have had to allocate more resources to that and it would be a considerable expense for Microsoft for a feature that only a very small niche audience would end up using. Even more so nowadays.

Halo played a huge part in developing my social life as a kid, i was home-schooled so i didnt have many friends, and i kinda liked it that way, i was a happy loner, but i started school in grade 6 so i could actually get into high school, Halo 3 was popular and everyone was playing it. Through Halo it was easy for socially awkward me to make friends and be less socially awkward. Playing with my friends taught me alot about teamwork and working together and the value of CLEAR COMMUNICATION, something the world is seriously lacking right now....

I got into Halo a bit late, in fall 2012 when I was 15. My family had moved to a middle-of-nowhere rural town. We had no internet, but apparently every kid in town had Halo CE on their USB's. And they'd share it around with anyone with a PC. I had a potato laptop, and so with nothing else, I installed Halo. And man... Just from the starting logos and menu music, I knew it was something special. From that day on I've never stopped playing it. I still regularly go back. The only game I've entirely memorized. And you're so right about sparking the imagination. I began writing my own stories and learning filmmaking, because of Halo.

I'm still getting goosebumps when I hear the soundtrack you put in the background. My son is getting 6 in september and I'm looking forward to show him the worlds that are out there in games and rl.

If it weren't for my dad letting me play his copy of the crappy Gearbox Software PC port of Halo:CE back when I was young, I'd be on a much different road

[@kingtero979]

I also played HALO as a kid and it had my Imagination going wild and the HALO games will always be my favorite game series ever thanks to the beautiful level design the game modes the story the characters and the Imagination and I will say Bungie and 343 you have changed my entire life forever.

8:54: Shows Johnson grabbing the elite's ass. LeadHead: this game's made me curious.

[@Metaknight251]

I relate to this video a lot. I used to play halo religiously 10 years ago and have extremely fond memories of it. It’s where I actively chose to play with people I’ve never met in real life and became friends with them for years playing nothing but campaign, multiplayer, and custom games. Fast forward 11 years later and I’m in university for art school, going into game design and 3d artwork post grad. You never mentioned if you ended up going into game dev but I wanted to share that Halo was definitely the start of it all for me.

[@Spook-yea]

great video man!

[@SpanishDio]

You and me had almost the same experience with Halo! I love to think how lucky all of us were of playing these games in the perfect time of our lifes.

[@schecter5035]

1:47 it just shows that never gets old haha 😂 did it on halo 5 yesterday

[@nomadstudios9564]

My dad was the one to introduce me to halo 3 10 yeasr ago. Thanks to him I became a gamer and it had a big part in my childhood. My brother and I were the only ones to have a console in my list of friends so we would often invite our friends to play and I'd always be the best of the bunch. We had a shit ton of fun. Thanks for this video :]

[@CIapzyy]

This video gave me chills throwing me back to my halo childhood man those were some good times and memories I still play the game all the time but you know it’s a problem when u skip school just to play it just sayin 🤷‍♀️😂😂

[@MrSadisticLlama]

Man I remember growing up with Halo and making friends based around the idea of Halo and how it sparked talk about the game all around. I remember thinking up wild ideas and cool situations, and having a fun time with my small friends all around. One of my friends in elementary school was a huge Halo Buff, and soaked himself in the lore. I wasn't much into the lore, at the time, but being older and looking at the lore itself, i can super see the appeal, I think Halo has such a enriching story as it has fun gameplay. The most awkward memory I have thanks to Halo, is me and my friends playing "Flood" or infected or something on the schoolground and take turns pretending to be flood infected forms, as a way of playing tag.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Great insight and advice. Here's my short story. Now together, everybody say *_"OKAY BOOMER"_* I haven't thought about _Halo_ in a long time. I do love their haunting intro music and I thought the Wart Hog was the best weapon in the game. My awakening really started when I began reading science fiction novels in the sixth grade. Then, in the seventh grade I really got a passion for learning electronics. I read everything i could get my hands on about that subject ... and every science fiction book in the school library. I was especially inspire by some stories about two kids, Carl and Jerry, in Popular Electronics. (You can read a short post about my adventure making a robot based on one of these stories, *_The Firefly,_* here. www.shavers.page/post/inspiration-to-become-an-engineer ) I didn't play any computer games until college. Personal computers had not been invented yet but we played text games like Star Trek and Adventure on teletypes hooked to mainframe computers we could only see through the glass into the computer room. Those were exciting times for me but we wasted lots of paper from the teletypes. My first job out of college was with an arcade video game manufacturer, *_Cinematronics._* I was the the designer of the first game they actually designed themselves. I designed it, drew the schematics, built the prototype by hand, wrote the software, designed the production test fixtures and stayed on for a while as the bench tech to get the games working. They were crazy to trust a brand new engineer, still wet behind the ear, with the future of the company. It took me nine months from start to shipping the first unit shipped. They almost went under. ( www.arcade-history.com/?n=embargo&page=detail&id=751 ) Now that I'm retired I'm looking for something to do between now and when I die. I took all the things I'm really passionate about, stories, movies, electronics and making things, and have decided to make a video series on KZbin about two kids living in Austin, TX, Carlos & Geri, who make gadgets and have adventures. My plan is to shoot it in the summer of 2021 and release it toward the end of the year. I'll have an announcement on shavers.page when I get the preproduction rolling. I want to chronicle the process, win or lose. It should be as interesting as the series itself. *_SUBSCRIBED_*

[@toastysketches2517]

Um the warthog is not a gun its a vehicle with a turret at the top and 2 seats.

[@mondoXpeanut]

@@toastysketches2517 from teh way he said weapon, I think he meant that the warthog was his favourite offensive option. You gotta admin, splattering alone is a handy way to clear a lot of open areas. especially if you can clip those high level elites!

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

@@toastysketches2517 Damn right! I could run over more players that I could ever shoot. Drifting around and around and around that fortification in Blood Gulch. I was hard to hit. It was a lot like spawn-camping. :)

[@arbiter-]

Oh man you're a young one. I was 12 when Halo 1 came out, but I still messed around with the mechanics like you mentioned. This game was just something I had never seen before, I was hooked.

[@MazdaRX7007]

I would like to give some words of caution in regards to halo 2. I play halo 2 a lot and the honorable and religious depiction of the elites somehow gave me the desire to be a religious warlord tyrant with cool armor. Although.. in the end, the game did expose their religion to be a false lie, i'd still say the way they depicted it is as cool af. Lol

[@purpleplasmaindustries4460]

This is a wonderful video. Thanks so much for making this! It has hard to put into words how much halo has done for me

[@Moonzen_]

"i had to explain halo wouldnt make me a psychopatch" then 1:46 comes. lol ok.... lmao jk great video, i feel the same way about halo. it was and is still something special to me xD

[@SpartanGuyOfficial-7274]

Yup, I've played Halo since I was 5, a year after Halo 2 was released. Halo 2 was also the first game I ever played and it'll always have a special place in my heart. I'm definitely letting my Future kids play Halo at a young age :)

[@thefiend3078]

I did the exact things you did as a kid in halo

[@midzik48]

My brother Alex introduced me to Halo CE when I was around 5. Years later, I bought Halo Reach, and as soon as I put the disc in, we jumped into Forge and had fun hijacking each other's banshees. Sometimes, I wish I could wipe away my memory just so I can re-experience the majesty and wonder of Halo all over again. Can't wait for Halo Infinite

[@haloskull1175]

All the dislikes are the kids who were shown to play Call of Duty first

[@haloskull1175]

WarriorKeens it was a joke, but sorry

[@DatMentalGamer]

i first played Halo through my mum's friend. who's son had Reach. it totally blew me away and i then began to look into the series. played the Halo 1 Trial, Halo 2 Vista, got Custom Edition and now i have Halo MCC, its a timeless game indeed, and even after 10 years i am still amazed by it

[@CRT_YT]

its a shame this generation will experience fucking fortnite

[@humbleman3854]

bro halo for me grew me so much as a person in the same way as u, i literally thought u were describing me after i discovered halo:) thanks for sharing that cause that brought back so many awesome memories for me

[@D00dman]

Halo: CE got my autistic ass through childhood. Like, I was ABSOLUTELY obsessed with Halo after this one dude was talking to me about killing the Prophet of Regret and described it as "beating an old guy to death in a chair" and i thought that was the funniest shit ever. So I downloaded the PC version's demo, played tf out of The Silent Cartographer, and eventually managed to get the actual game and then beat that. THEN I discovered Halo: Custom Edition. Holy shit was that wild. I did soooooo many things in there. Played Abyll's Zombies, did dumbass RPG's on that one map with the Draco, discovered porn because some dude mentioned a site in the chat (REALLY not proud of that one), had Mario and Counterstrike and Zelda and ALLLLLL sorts of other maps downloaded. Such an amazing time back then. I just hope Infinite can live up to the expectations

[@Clocks45]

This brings me back to playing reach all day every day at a friends house, so many of the people I played with on that couch have moved on in life and is sad to be because I will never be in the same room making more memories with them again

[@cxx23]

Your outros move my soul.

[@overlord__l2267]

This video brings back tons of memory’s from the good old days. Halo was the first ever Xbox FPS I ever played, and is still my favourite to this day❤️ Videos like this bring a tear to my eye, great job 👍
