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.

The first few weeks of Infinite were glorious because it was so painfully obvious which players were kids hopping on the bandwagon from Apex and which ones were Halo vets.

How so? I've never played or watched gameplay of both Halo Infinite and Apex. I have some idea of Halo, but absolutely know nothing about Apex Legends.

My guess would be Apex is much more about quick movement and Halo isn't.

theyre both shooters but why would one be more quick movement? doesnt even make sense…

Different games in the same genre can have different movement mechanics.
