Any Halo fans here, Cauldron?
« on: February 18, 2014, 05:24:43 pm »
Because I certainly am, and with the rumors (possibly even confirmed rumors) about Halo 2: Anniversary  on the horizon has gotten me beyond excited. Still, it's a shame the original Xbox servers have been pulled down for some time now... :(

So anyone else out there?

I tried, but something about it gives me vertigo when I play.  FPS' do that to me sometimes.

I'm a big Halo fan/player, though less so these days since I've become so busy with my dayjob that it leaves little energy for games (Halo is definitely high-energy/stress for me. Am I currently in a good mood? Let's just ruin all that with a rousing round of Halo multiplayer!)  Halo 3 and Reach were the pinnacles of the franchise for me. 4 just hasn't been able to capture the same magic, probably due to the lack of awesome maps.

Me!  I love the first 3 and Halo Anniversary was a great way to spritz up the original classic.  I've even read a few of the novels.  
Haven't played Reach or 4 yet, but will fix that eventually.

Unfortunately not. I could never get a hang of what felt like really super-sensitive controls, so I gave up. (I am also not a fan of FPS or shooter games in general, save for something like Mass Effect.)

The only thing that has really kept my interest in Halo is Master Chief's and Cortana's friendship, and Rooster Teeth's machinima Red vs. Blue.

Yes, hello!

I made it a point to avoid the series like the plague when I was younger, as my friends would not shut up about it. I didn't understand how they could all be so obsessed over a game that I thought was about a "stupid space marine" ... fast forward a few years and my love for FPSs exploded. I overheard my roommate playing one of the challenges for Halo 4 and I could hear this really emotional music in the background. I started to choke up over the music alone, so I decided to check out the soundtrack. Then I got curious about the lore, and once I learned that Master Chief was more than just a "stupid space marine," I fell in love.

I've played everything except Halo Wars (which I just borrowed from a friend) and I'm currently reading the novels. I'm a wee bit involved, to say the least. I can't afford Live, so I can't play multiplayer, unfortunately.
Til the light takes us.

Reach was good, I thought! 4 was....*shrugs* Not my favorite. Although change is welcome with Halo, too much was there with me in 4 IMO xD

But with this Halo 5: Guardians announced and E3 right around the corner, I can't wait to see what's next in the series :D:
