Christmas Eve in 2007 I got an Xbox 360 with Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. My older brother and I plugged in my 360 and immediately put Halo 3 in the console cause we were just playing Halo 2 right before I opened my gifts. We played 1v1 Slayer on Last Resort and I couldn't believe how beautiful the game looked compared to Halo 2. I spent more time exploring the map and playing with the new weapons than shooting my brother. Everyone went to their rooms and I had the living room to myself. It was me, my new 360, Halo 3, and our big ass Mitsubishi TV in my living room. I booted up the campaign and was glued to the screen until The Ark when my mom told me to go to sleep. No game since has ever come close to beating this experience. I miss the Halo 3 days so much but to go back and play Halo 3 for the first time ever on that specific day? I'd do it again in a heartbeat
