Hey there people.

Ever since I bought my Xbox back in November, only one game has really held my attention up until the present day. You may be familiar with it, it's a little game called Halo, and I think I'm in love with it.

I won't waste your time waxing lyrical on how it's the best game since sliced bread as I'm sure you're all aware of how top it is. Instead, I wish to know your favourite levels, favourite games, best moments etc. I'm giving it another run through in co-op mode in Legendary at the moment, but am stil playing Deathmatches with alarming regularity.

Flavour of the month is the Hang 'Em High level complete with dozens of tombstones for cover. Old favourites include the ice level with Sniper rifles and all vehicles or the Blood Gulch level with snipers and all vehicles too.

Come on, get excited with me! Metroid Prime sucks! Halo rules!

Halo is definatly one of my most favourite games of all time. From start to finish the game just sucked me in and I really felt that my tactics were playing a part as I went through it. :-)
The quality really shines through when I found myself playing through it over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.
Co-op with my cousin has to be one of the best gaming moments ever and we've played a few deathmatches with 4 of us which were excellent fun.

My favourite level is Assault On The Control Room - mainly for the outdoor battles in it, they are superb !

As for particular moments, theres been tons of em ! One I can be backed up on was when me and my cousin were in a warthog. I was driving with him on the turret. We were swerving around the rocks on the Halo level and at one point I went flying through a tight spot at high speed - the warthog went into the air, did a full barrel roll and landed back on its wheels - we were like "oh yeah ! Ave it !" ;-))

Theres so many great memories to go over that to list them all would take ages and I'm not gonna be that cruel to you lot (even though I have been pretty often in the past). ;-))

Stupid monitor...must...kill
Anyways the best level for me would have to be 'The Silent Cartographer' basically because it was the first level of Halo I ever played and the level I played the most, blowing up random warthogs and the like.

Best multiplayer game is Last Man Standing with 50% health and Pistols on Boarding action, great for a quick spurt.

Oh and of course 16-Player Halo beats everything else wiv stik.

Metroid Prime rocks my whale. Halo's pretty good, but Morrowind's been taking up all my Xbox time.

The last level, going in a warthog at 130 miles per hour, Cortana speaking in one ear, flood making they're odd sound in the other. Watching grunts dance, quickly before being run down.


That small cheat where you hear the grunt speak.


Beutiful......

Woa woa woa, Thats maybe a bit too harsh Mr Dringo.

Snuggly does'nt like Metroid Prime, While some people don't like Halo. Not every "AAA" title appeals to absolutely everyone. Fair deal heh?

Ok so some people have'nt tried Metroid Prime in here, so what? Not many people follow every opinion of Snuggly, this thread was just a praise of Halo, which in my opinion is a truly fantastic game, but others may not.

Snuggly was just saying that he prefers Halo more to Metroid Prime, thats his opinion.....

Well at least I don't think everyone follows the opinion of Snuggly....
