I've had a pretty weird relationship with Halo. It's love-hate in a lot of ways, but it has been oddly prevalent in my life since I was a teenager. I've been ultra hyped for Halo's (Halo 2/3) and been almost indifferent about them (Halo Reach). I've sunk hundreds of hours into the multiplayer on a few of them, or played them twice and never touched them again. I've read a few of the books and own merchandise. I've argued (on this very forum) that Halo 1 has one of the worst levels in the history of video games. Halo 3 RRoD'd my 360 at midnight on launch day, which left me no choice but to cannibalize my game library to get a new one. Halo 2 came out on my 17th birthday and was my first midnight launch. I once threw an OG Xbox through an ex-girlfriends car window after she smashed it during an argument about how much I played Halo. The first time I ever got drunk was playing Halo:CE on a small CRT in someones **** box trailer. Halo 2 connected me to a guy more than anything else ever had and that relationship led to me meeting the woman I'm going to marry. The first game I ever played through in full online co-op was Halo 3, it was also the first game I played with one of my best friends on the planet. Needless to say, I have mixed feelings about the series, but in the end I've always come back to it.

This trailer made me feel nostalgic about Halo. I think that's a corner you turn that you can't really come back from.
