Halo

2002, Age 20

This game became a staple of my junior year of college, wherein I started off as the underdog to be picked on. The second underdog and I decided to train by playing the co-op mode, and I discovered my love of FPS co-op.

The game seemed be set up just perfectly for a pair such as us. He was the sort of "rush into the fray guns 'blazin" player, whereas I was more of the cautious, "hang back, calculate the scenario, and snipe" sort of person. Together, we were unstoppable!

I'm all for a game that supports vastly different playstyles, especially when opposing ends of the spectrum benefit each other (2 of the guns blazin variety would merely die repeatedly, 2 of the cautious types would never get anywhere in the game).
