He has inspired and motivated a lot of hardcore fans of the Xbox exclusive saga who, even in their most difficult moments, try to make themselves strong, just like the heroic protagonist himself.

I'm not crying. I'm strong. To me, Halo is much more than a game. It's happy memories. It's the game that brought my brother and i closer together. We absolutely got more than our money's worth. We were toxic to each other, but we were good sports about it.
