Old Schoolers Unite!

Okay, I used to be really into "Halo: Combat Evolved" in 2001! Played that game forever with my friends and it always held a little nostalgia in my heart when it comes to Bungie. Then "Halo 2" came out... Multiplier was flawless. Seriously, that game is still unmatched in my opinion. Damage Ratios were so balanced and it seemed like you were able to relax and still be on the edge of you seat the entire game! Since then, I really didn't get into Bungie games like I used to. I mean, they were good. But, I think my everyday life changed and maybe the gaming styles in the industry changed. Anyway, I've been a very causal gamer since about 2004. I'll play and talk about Video Games with my younger Cousins and Brother every now and again. But, I can tell their experiences are totally abstract to mine. It's kinda funny how I'm looked at as a "Old Schooler" compared to them. While playing Halo 4 with them and talking more about games, they brought up "Destiny" in the conversation! Showed me some videos, told me more about the vision for the game... I felt that nostalgia again! That good old Bungie nostalgia! I'm just as excited for the release/beta of this game as they are! Hopefully other people experience the same feeling I'm having. Because, I really do hope that Gamers of all generations will be able to close the gap in gaming styles. I'd like to hear the rest of the community. What do you guys think? Also, What do you think a "Old Schooler" technically is? It seems video games change so fast that it makes new generations happen every other year!

    I'll jump in on this bandwagon too :) My very first encounter with Bungie was probably Marathon back in the 90's, playing on my Uncles computer. I wasn't in a technology based household but I remember just prior to the original xbox launching, seeing Halo in various magazines and on the tv advertisement. Well, I was lucky enough to receive a gift that allowed me to purchase an xbox [for the sole purpose of playing Halo] about 2 or 3 years later [2003] and the rest is history. So many hours of my life... so many relationships lost... job opportunities... Bungie's Halo really struck a chord with me and I haven't looked back. I hope that there is some form of attention paid to Halo in Destiny, maybe a specific set of armor or something.
