Timeline of my Experience With Halo

2012

Jul

circa Jul 1

I played Halo Reach for the first time at my cousin's house. I vividly remember flying around New Alexandria for the first time. At some point in the medical building my cousin remarked that I was good at killing, but I had no sense of direction.

2013

Feb

Feb 20

I got an Xbox 360 for my birthday. The first two games I got were Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4. I played through the first mission of Halo 4, then I decided to play through ODST before continuing with 4.

Aug

Aug 30

I got Halo Wars.

Unknown Date (Aug)

I got Halo Reach.

Sep

Sep 5

I made my first forge creation: a sky city on Forge World with a hole in the middle. At first glance it looks like there's two ways around the center, but one of those ways is a bridge with an insta-kill barrier. This kill barrier had no purpose other than pissing people off. The map also had an open-air weapon and armor ability shop, a vehicle store, some kind of police station with a gauss hog, and some other buildings around the place.

Nov

Nov 17

I made another map on Forge World which featured two bases: My base was a large one, made from coliseum walls. It had sniper towers and a central walkway to get to a helipad area. My friend made a more low lying base by the waterfall. A system of floating man cannons made it possible to get from his base to mine.

Unknown Date (2013)

I got Halo 3. I didn't have Xbox live at the time, so I mostly played campaign and split screen multiplayer.

2014

Unknown Date (Jan)

I got Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
I started drawing in a bunch of sketchbooks, many of the pictures I drew were Halo related.
I got to max rank in Reach, however this was on an offline account which is unconnected to my current account.
By this point I'd technically beaten every fps Halo game I owned on legendary, however I cheated on Halo 4 by starting at the last rally point of each mission.
