'Halo DS' Pitched but Not Likely
By: Rob Burman

For: IGN

It's a rumour that's been flying around the internet for some time but Bungie has finally admitted it's "very likely" another developer created a DS version of Halo. However, the dev said that there has "never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game" from Bungie.

Speaking to Siliconera, Bungie's Brian Gerard and Frank O'Connor candidly tackled the subject of 'Halo DS.' They confirmed that "every once in a while it does come up" and that Microsoft could potentially publish it through THQ, as it did before with 'Age of Empires: Age of Kings' on DS.

Having said that, O'Connor doesn't believe the DS is well-suited to the FPS genre: "The problem is the DS is not an FPS console, right? It's not an FPS handheld. There really is no such thing. If we did something cool I would like to see it. But I would rather see the Halo IP on any handheld system applied to a different genre because handhelds don't necessarily do FPS well," he added.

So where does that leave 'Halo DS?' Well, O'Connor thought that the brand could work better if it was "side-scrolling shoot-'em-up or whatever, but not necessarily an FPS" and that Bungie would never rule it out. "There is nothing going on right now", O'Connor concluded.

Halo 3 for the ps3 would be amazing!!! lol

but a low version on the wii wouldn't be that bad. more fun.

lol microsoft wudnt have that. but wud be awesome if it did happen

If you played the Beta then you would know how much this next Halo is going to suck!!!.....lol

Yeah Ive heard a lot of complaints about the new Halo. But we will see.

Well, the Halo name hasn't been brought to any other console cuz they need an exclusive to keep Microsoft's head in the gaming business

There is some guy on this forum who says he making a halo DS

No offense to Halo fans but I think Halo sucks IMO

I just think the second one sucks.
Not sure about the 3rd I've only seen a trailer and it looked pretty good

the first was good becuase it was new, but the second was basicly the same as the first but better graphics, the same goes for the third same game better graphics

I thought the graphics were better in halo Combat Evolved so were the grenades and physics.

I'd want Halo on ps3 for the great graphics or Wii because then it's more for the whole family.



Hm where can I play this beta?

u need a 360 an a copy of a game (cant remember which 1) so that u can sign up an download it onto yr 360

Damn don't have a 360 LMAO

lol that a good thing because if u bought a 360 in the past 19 months ther all defective, estimated 11.6 million 360's are broke . microsoft suck

Wow! That IS sucky! LMAO I'll just get a Wii

Gah dont get a wii, its not that fun. I personally have a wii and a 360 and i play the 360 a lot more than the wii. The 360 is a funner console(to me that is, mind you). But it sucks not because it broke on me, and it was a launch one...but im going to get it fixed soon. But the 360 still owns...again, my opinion.

The Halo beta is over anyway. A lot of people have complained about it. Nothing new.

IMHO a Halo for DS would look like crap and wouldn't be fun at all.

You needed the Crackdown game and then you could play the beta and as Nyght said its over now anyways.

As for the bad 360's, eat me, you dont have a 360 so STFU. And for the facts on this console.....YES some are defective BUT all of them are being replaced for free. That to me is a good company taking care of there customers.
