Yeah, we would do that. Still do, lol. I'm usually right next to the Warthog with my sniper, killing anything that comes near. I have to keep my number one status of Sniper in my town, so Head Shots come forth.
Hehe, I actually am bad at sniping. I can't even kill people in two hits with a battle rifle like so many can.
Oh well, sniping isn't my style anyway.
But it is immensely satisfying when you have a really good sniper killing people everywhere and somehow you manage to sneak up on him and melee him real good. Actually, even better is when you stick him with a grenade, and quietly make your escape. They're so busy looking in their scope, they don't even know they have a sticky on them about to go off. Listening to their reaction is immensely satisfying.

This is true, lol, that's why I'm a moving sniper, I get one or two kills and move to a new place. I've learned the habit of staying in the same place too long. The stats I always seem to have first in is Head shots, least deaths, longest average life, longest spree, and I'm usually second behind my friend in kills only because I don't want to give up my other firsts to get the most kills, but that's only when we are on a team, against each other I own. lol, but yes, my friend, I feel you. I always love to snipe the guy who is just sitting on the ledge sniping lol. It's kinda ironic.

I like diving into them with the Banshee. Like a divebomb kamakazee style. My most favorite way to kill a sniper though is of course the melee from behind. Or a rocket....
I love it when someone barely misses you with their energy sword because they failed to lock on to you, so you have a melee fight with maybe your SMG against their energy sword. But if you scored the first hit before them, you can usually pull through okay.
My most memorable moments from Halo is the 4 XBox system link with a full 8 vs 8 multiplaying with all of my friends. We would slaughter each other for hours. But the best part is when we played with nothing but sticky grenedes. Sticking your best buds in the butt, groin, or face is unforgetable.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
Playing the first Halo on system link was so fun. I loved playing capture the flag on that level (I never know the map names) with four stories on each side, with teleporters to get to the other side, and a huge pit in the middle. Anyone know what map I'm talking about?
Beer and pizza also went good with those old Halo parties.
My most memorable Halo moment was an alarming realisation that almost every online shooter on the PC is superior to it. Each to his own though I guess. Millions of people disagree with me of course, so I probably just don't "get it".
Okay well I love halo been playing it since I was like 8 or 9 reason because my next door neighbor which was like 15 probably 16 at the time me and him had a lot in common even though our age diffrence was a lot. He mostly just hung out with my older sister but I would still hang out with him during when they hung out he said I should play Halo and I remember my mom's exact words "No that game is rated M" And I remember my friend talking her into it because it's really not that bad of a game as far as that goes. I finally got it for christmas and that was of course my first M rated game. And it was probably the first game I actually got addicted to.
Anyways my most Halo moment more like coolest moment was when I was at a friends house in his camper it was like 6 guys in there. Most of us were playing halo and there was only 4 of us playing it. And this is hot is goes we were on the level in halo 2 where it kinda looks like a desert terrain and u have 2 bases on each side and they were straight across about 3 football fields. I cant remember the name of the level but it is kinda like Blood Gulch from halo 1.
Anyways...
Me: Shoots rocket from bunker 1
Player 2: Driving his ghost about in middle of map. Blows up, from rocket. Dies.
Me: Still sitting at bunker yelling in RL going "Owned bitches!".. next thing you know were looking at my screen and wam I get hit with the blown up ghost and it instantly crushes me and kills me. Silence fills the room. Were all staring at each other. Then everyone then just start's busting out laughing at me how much I just got owned.
True story.

Well, I have three more memories to share to my halo collection of thoughts.
3) I remember this one time when we were at Warlock and it being a small level is just madness. Well, anyway, there were these four guys fighting and one of them killed another and I can down and killed two of them with the sword, which big deal, but then the third one was trying to sneak away, and well, he was injuried, lol, I switched my weapon to a pistol and just as he thought he got away I capped him in the head. It was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing. He was like "Ha, I'm getting away"....Bang. And he died.
2) I remember this one time when we were having a halo tournament at my house and after 3 hours we stopped to have a Discussion and while we finished talking about our kills I said "Lets roll" and then fell hitting my hand on the frige. They all just laughed at me while I sat on the floor in pain, well, afterwards we went on to play another round of halo and my hand, which was broken, but we didn't know that at the time, hurt really bad so I had to hide in a corner and kill what ever came near me. The funny thing is now I'm called the most extreme gamer cause I played halo with a broken hand. lol.
1) I remember we were playing a match at Zanzibar and it was really evenly matched. I had to think of a way to use my sniper to win us the upper hand, well, I started to notice that everyone seems to respawn on the beach. So because of my skill with the sniper, I sat on the ledge and watched the beach, sure enough, heads started popping up and head shots started rolling on top my score. lol, it was so funny, they would just respawn to die not even a second later, I think I had two sprees for a combined 19 kills untill the round ended. Seriously though, you should try it sometime. It worked, lol, so greatly.

For the original, it was all about the pistol. That thing was the golden gun of halo. If you had it, and you knew how to use it, youd most likely be owning. Hang em high, that was THE map for pistols. I always remember if there was 4 of us on 1 tv, you would get nervous every time you heard the sound of a scope going in and out. Which was about every 2 seconds. Sometimes i did it just to play mind games with the others. And blood gulch has a majority of the memories for me. If people had the warthogs and you killed them with the pistol, YOU were the noob. We called it pistol bitching. But if you could take out a driver with a headshot from a sniper on the move, you were THE KING. One recent memory involved 2 warthogs driving past each other, me driving one solo, 2 enemies in the other, and my mate managed to throw a plasma grenade and stick me right on the top of the head...from 2 moving cars. We were screaming and running around the lounge room. We even invented our own game types. Like warthogs only on blood gulch, no weapons alowed and you pretty much had to knock them out of the warthog and run em over. We called it road kill. And melee attacks only on wizard, we called it punch on. I got heaps more but ill list em later.
As for halo 2, while the multi player did have some more fun elements like more weapons, vehicles and interactive levels, it just wasnt the same. The 3 worst things about halo 2 are swords, heat seeking rockets and no fall damage. It takes away a certain element of skill. Its fun no doubt, but you dont get the same thrill as you do from a good hard earned kill in halo 1. And hit boxes...ugh...worst thing ever invented.
Ha, me and my friend did that, he was in a Ghost and all I had was a sword, ao he was just gonna chase me around till I mis-jumped and he ran me over... Well, with a completely lucky hit, I killed him with my sword as he comes boosting towards me and I'm jumping away, mashing R. We called it bull-fight. We tried with Warthogs, but it wasn't nearly as good.

It's hard to decide sometimes when to retreat or risk dying to stay fighting someone. I guess in that case, that guy did both. LOL

Oh totally. I remember how disappointed so many of us were win that pistol wasn't in Halo 2. More disappointed than losing the Battle Rifle.

Hehe, Lord Mantis and I still play that game today. We call it Monstertrucks. When you're playing with three people and one person dies, then the remaining to engage in fisticuffs so the third person doesn't have to wait a long time for the match to end. Which is why it's so fun when it's down to two people. We all shout, "I declare fisticuffs on you!" And we start the melee attacks with our magnums.

By hit boxes I think he means those exploding boxes that are in some of the levels.
That Bull Fighting game sounds like it'd be a bit of fun. We had another where we just had Plasma Pistols that we called Codpiece for some reason. Or Pus (poohss), which was Shotguns with no shields. There were some others too that I can't remember.
I like running them over with Warthogs, A couple of times I managed to get one stuck on the front and it just kinda sat there, so me and my friend rammed each other in Warthogs. Predictably enough, we were both blown sky-high.

Thats my essay for the evening.
That wasn't a really necessary comment, Robert.
Although I have no idea what Halo is, nice job Siaynoq!
