Halo started out as a little launch title for the Xbox in 2001 and has since evolved into nothing less than a worldwide phenomenon. In a plethora of ways, the Halo series has revolutionized the first-person shooter genre, and nowhere is that more evident than in its groundbreaking online multiplayer mode. Gamers can🅺 hop on with friends or join up with other solo players for massively satisfying online carnage, with tons of different modes, including "capture the flag," and the ever popular "king of the hill." Boasting a variety of awesome weapons and abilities, you can get the job done whether you're partial to a battle rifle or a fan of the deceptively dangerous Needler (curse you, Needler).

Halo fans are passionate fans, and it should never be said they're afraid to let their opinion on the game ring throughout the whole internet. And while Halo has definitely raised the bar for every other shooter out there (I'm looking at you, Destiny and Killzone), it isn't without its... imperfections. Fortunately, devoted Halo players are always there to point them out in their own, pretty blunt, and often hilarious way. Here are some of the funniest Halo memes on the web that will make true fans of the series ROTFL (hopefully after they've logg♈ed out of XBL and put down their controller).

Know of any other great Halo memes we missed? Or got some good ones you made yourself? Send them our way! And, as always, SPOILERS BELOW!

15 Work With Me Here ✤ 🧸

One way to think of playing Halo online is that it's all about working together. Banding together with your teammates, forming an impenetrable bond, and taking down the enemy at all costs. Or, another way to think of it is, get your opponent into as many situations as you can when there are four of you, and one of them. My favorite thing about this meme is how blatantly obvious it is that the red team player is already dead, and the way that's clearly not stopping anyone on the blue team🅠 from laying it on as thick as they possibly can. Also, it looks like one blue guy's head is on fire? And instead of taking care of that, he's still firing away into the ground. How's that for dedication?

14 He's Right Behi🌳nd Me, Isn't He ✤

There are few things, I would say, in this entire life more frustrating than getting killed by someone who has died and inexplicably been spawned directly behind you. It's as if the game took a look at you and said "you know what? This guy's been alive too long. Let's do something that's completely out of his control and place another player DIRECTLY BEHIND HIM. That way, he'll see a little red on his radar and try to turn around just in time to get blasted in the face." If I ever see that little red dot of doom show up on my radar, I just start jumping 𒁃frantically. Has it ever worked? Just maybe it has.

Nah, who am I fooling, I die every time.

13 🌟 Kumbaya, My Lord, Kumbaya...

Campers. Are. The. Worst. Like the meme says, it's a legitimate strategy! And while I'd prefer campers in Halo be forced to give away their location by setting up a tent and lighting a fire, unfortunately, most of the players I've come across 🌱who are able to correctly utilize this strategy are much harder to find. What's worse than walking around a corner and immediately taking a headshot?

And don't get me wrong, I've tried camping myself. Finding a nice quiet space, grabbing a sniper rifle, and just waitinꦐg for the right Spartan to come wandering by. Although somehow, every time I camp, I end up getting camp killed by somebodꦺy else! If camping doesn't include s'mores, count me out.

12 🅺 B𝔉less This Mess

How did this...wow. This guy got torn apart! Seriously, something really terrible must have happened! There's no weapon in the game capable of doing this. Someone must hav—wait a second. Are there bears in Halo? Are there wild animals roaming Halo maps and nobody told me about it? Also, how d🍬id that old looking sword get there? Ho꧑nestly, this guy looks like Link, Master Chief, and Sonic the Hedgehog got caught in a trash compactor. There might be a touch of Power Ranger in there too. Look away, children.

Few things are more ridiculous than when the g💎ame ๊glitches up like this and your Spartan ends up a shaking heap of body parts in the grass. But hey, seems legit.

11 Other Way, Champ 🥀

It's simple, okay? We are the red guys. We don't like the blue guys. If you see the blue guy, shoot the blue guy. This isn't hard. Here, I'm going to make it easy for you.♐ I will go first, and you just follow me. HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE? THERE ARE THREE—

And I'm dead.

You would think it's the easiest thing in the world. Everybody pick up a gun and shoot the guys on the other team. But somehow, your Halo teammates will find innovating and mind blowing ways to do anything but the game's main objective. S𝓀ometimes, it truly feels like their guns are facing the other way.

Of course, the flip side of this is you'll occasionally get some guy on your ▨team who's better than everyone else, and he or she singlehandedly carries your team to victory while you sport a K/D of 3 and 10. Better hope that guy or gal lets you party up.

10 Le♕t's Split U♌p...

WHY? This always blows my mind! The game does this all the time: it'll have the chance to make two even teams and instead will split you into two uneven groups. I have literally seen a group of eight divided into six and two, just like this meme says. Not that I don't relish the opportunity to test my skills against a larger group! More kills for me, right? Line 'em up! The headshots will rain dow—ah, who am I kidding, I've already died 15 times. Then you have to quit out and get a penalty! 𝔍But it wasn't my fault! There were tons of them and only two of me!

It begs the question: does this game hate you? I don't think I need to answer tha🍬t.

9 Weepin' S♋ponge

Halo 4 marked 343 Industries' first entry in the franchise, and it's no understatement to say they hit a home run. While Halo as a series is unquestionably best known for its multiplayer, 343 breathed new l🐬ife into the campaign's story mode, particularly highlighting the relationship between Master Chief and his very human AI program, Cortana. When Cortana sacrifices herself for Chief at the end of the game, you'll find yourself moved to tears by an AI program giving her "life" for a guy whose face we never even get to see. That's an impressive feat. I'm proud to say I didn't cry at the end of this game. That much. I definitely didn't need to go grab a box of tissues. It was already next to me. So yeah, I was totally fine.

8 Catch Ya On The🐓 Flipside

How do you drive these cars? Seriously, is there a tutorial somewhere I can look at? It seems like every time I get into a Mongoose, I hit a rock the wrong way, or swerve to hard to the right꧟, and before I know it, I have completely flipped the car over and am comfortably stationed underneath it. How did this happen, I ask myself? I had the best laid plans. There it was, a Mongoose, freshly spไawned at my base. And yet, here I sit now, beneath the very car I had every intention of driving.

Probably the worst part is when all your teammates pile into the Mongoose and are like, "yeah, let's do this," and you reward them by flipping the car in a nearby ditch. Sorry, turret guy. Please stop shooting me, turret guy. I feel bad enough about this already, turret guy. Sorry, turret guy, I'm gonna have to boot you. Freakin' tu🌄rret guy.

7 ♔ Go Figure...

Oooops! I got too close to a cliff, and a slipped. Well, that's okay, I'm covered head to toe in super futuristic and state of the art armor, I'm sure I'll be able to—I'M DEAD?! Wow, that was frustrating. No matter, I'll just relax by hoping into this lake for a dip—I'M DEAD AGAIN?! Sure, Master Chief is a killing machine who is armored to survive multiple shots and stay alive while floating through the endless vacuum of space, but get the guy near too much water or a cliff and WHOOPSIE! You're dead. Counterpoint: is it better than the developers putting invisible 👍walls everywhere? I'm honestly not sure. Maybe I'll think it over while sitting in this pond-OH DAMMIT, NOT AGAIN!

6 At Least My Headache's Gone 𓂃

That freakin' Needler. Every time you think you've gotten away, those adorable purple shards explode inside you and you die. The Needler is actually one of the more complex weapons in the game, as you really need to fill your enemy with an entire clip to make sure it's enough to completely wipe out his life gauge. Few things are more satisfying, however, than being killed and watching your opponent die from that last needle you stuck in him on your way out. It's kind of like the five point palm exploding heart technique from the end of Kill Bill: watch them take the last steps, and boom!

I realize now I probably should have made a note at the start of this article that I was also going to spoil Kill Bill. Whꦓatever. You've had enough time 💙to see it. This isn't on me.
