Talking Point: What Was The First Halo Game You Ever Played?

We're getting so close to the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved now — July 23rd for Premium buyers and July 28th for everyone else — so we thought we'd take this opportunity to ask you about your initial experiences with the series.

Of course, many of us love Halo because it was either the first thing we played on the original Xbox, or it was the first thing we considered a must-play on that system. That goes for both Halo and Halo 2, with the latter pretty much shaping Xbox Live and online multiplayer shooters as a whole.

Some people obviously became fans through Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 — again, another must-play title for a console that delivered one of the best game libraries of all time — and there are even some people who didn't get into the series until Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5, Halo Infinite and various other games under the "Halo" banner over the years.

So, we're just curious to hear about your early days with Halo and how you get started with it. Are there any specific stories you want to share about how you discovered the franchise? Have you always been a massive fan of it ever since, or do you think it's become overhyped? Are you excited for Halo: Campaign Evolved? Tell us down below!
