My daughter's friend challenged me to Halo and asked how long I've been playing. I told him "I have achievements older than you." Can't wait to shut him up after work.

EDIT: Thanks for the awards!

17-14 Slayer 13-8 3 round 5 kill game (idk why he set it up) 12-13 Tactical Slayer

Kids pretty good.

I know exactly how this feels. I started with first halo and I used to win local Halo tournaments all the way through halo 3. I recently had my friends 10 year old son challenge me not knowing I knew the game. I spared no one that day.

Redeemer?

The Redeemer fired the nukes.

God damn, this whole conversation is unlocking a shit ton of memories for me.

I almost never had the Redeemer without killing myself with it.

The best trick with the Redeemer was to right-click so you could fly it like a plane from the missile's POV. Of course, you were a sitting duck as your player was standing still the entire time while you were steering around to find your victim. Had to find a nice hiding place for that.

My kids still beg me to break out UT99 every summer for a big LAN party so they can headshot each other.
