I never actually had friends, so I would just spend all of my time in Forge mode making custom maps and game modes and daydreaming about having friends to play them with.

xbox friends aren't real friends anon, and even then you didn't need to have them, you could still have a blast

Why not play the MCC then, anon?

I will always crusade against the party chat system that xbox made. It killed people setting up Halo lobbies just to chat and people were usually more than welcome for new players in zombie mode or fat kid or trash compactor or predator. But when the party chat happened it stopped people from being forced to interact and my friends list dwindled from the max of 99 players to just 20 over time and then no one wanted to play custom games anymore with randoms.

>be me
>be 14
>wake up on a weekend, dont have to school fucking awesome
>boot up halo
>play some matches like 3-7 of them
>look in recent players list to see who is in custom lobby
>join their lobby and play some zombies for 4 hours
>rinse and repeat for over 2 years
>had the most fun ive ever had playing games with friends adn the only thing that comes close now is playing with some people in discord who all just want to play dota all the time
>miss those days a lot
>go to bed thinking about those times both happy and sad

i hate the party chat system

I hope you get killed you stupid fucking normie

>halo 3

Fuck that. Where's my sunken defense, where's my bounds, what about the thing, or marine special forces.

Get out of here with this halo bullshit.

The blade interface was great and I have no idea what crackhead at Microsoft decided to change it.

I hate all the flat-looking UIs that people are trying to push. I want gradients, gloss, shadows, and detail!

feels bad man. havnt owned a console in years so i have no idea what happened in halo 4 and 5, dont care honestly

>>34578296
the game ended with 3, fuck anything else related

>>34578296
Writing is much worse and 5 doesn't play anything like a Halo game.

>>34578338
Halo: Reach was actually pretty good, but anything past that is just joyless.

>>34578400
I keep forgetting to reinstall that. I fucking nostalgiad so hard playing it. idk why /v/ hates it so hard.

>>34578338
Reach was decent, I had a lot of fun on custom games for years after the mass exodus from 3.
And ODST was great imo.

>>34578400
Halo online has weird sound bugs and just doesn't seem right. Still play it every other couple of weeks though, but get bored with it because it just doesn't feel authentic. Wish the MCC was out on pc, or just halo 3 that would be fucking great too

>Halo 2 Project Cartographer

Didn't know that existed, PC fags sure love Halo, why is MS such an asshole to them?

>tfw you buy your first gaming system with your own money

My xbox 360 was the best gaming experience I've had. Played so many games like Halo: Reach, Battlefield, and Call of Duty with my friends. Now we've all drifted apart, going to different colleges, pursuing different careers.

I miss those guys :(

Nothing will ever top Halo 3's online community. Nothing will ever be as popular with as much freedom with as little outside distractions as Halo 3 had.

Those Zombie weekends on Halo 3 that's all I did after school from Thursday to Sunday at midnight warehouse had the best customs like a big ass house, might have played with some of you guys long ago

>I had some tough times, but it was always there for me
>5 was about to come out
>Realize that my daughter has probably seen me play some online and can probably recognize Master Chief, but hasn't seen much story
>One night, I get us a buffalo chicken pizza pie, and I get her to stay up and we play 1-4 and Reach (on normal for times sake)
>She cried at the end of 4 and tried to hide it, but I couldn't blame her, when I first played it I cried a little too
