I remember being in the 8th grade and one of my friends would always get on the same time and we would invite our online friends. We always played all the fun game types (the ones users created that you rarely see anymore) IMO I think ALOT of people played custom games more than multiplayer. I remember mongoose race tracks while one guy spawns at a tank at the center of track and shoots you down I remember racing muffins (some English guy always talking about nipp le muffins) through SAW obstacle course. I remember the pressure of shooting the cinder blocks as the fat kid moves... Ever so slowly towards you... Then that one guy that tries to camp and hit the fat kid from behind. If you like someone's map and game rules, you could save it for new friends! Cops and robber anyone? Made plenty of friends and a lot of memories those days . It's just hard to do in MCC now, all of us don't really have similar schedules anymore. Half my friends list are on at odd times or just don't play anymore [spoiler]this was my pinnacle of halo experiences. Once those servers close my files of custom game types and maps will be no more... [/spoiler] [spoiler]however i got into halo in the first place because it was one of my first games. I used to overplay levels that I would try to go flawless no teammate deaths and kill everything with stealth in third mission. (Original halo) [/spoiler] [spoiler]then two... I really enjoyed being able to have a new perspective on things... Also overplayed until I got halo 3 with live finally[/spoiler]
