Halo GBA

[Master of 7s]

I'm laying odds that this will be the reincarnation of the real-time strategy game that the original Halo was first outlined as.

I call bullshit.

Bungie made Halo. Bungie made Abuse. I could see this. I like this idea. In fact, I want this. I want this very, very badly.

Crack Dot Com (long since deceased) made Abuse. Not Bungie. All they did was publish it.

I call bullshit.

You can call it vaporware too.

Whoops, you're right. Funny thing is, I remember having known that, but remembering that Bungie still sells the game through their website, it slipped my mind.

Doesn't change the fact that I think the playstyle would translate well to a GBA title in the Halo storyline, heh.

It's not bullshit. Microsoft and Bungie would be stupid not to release the game. It's a Halo game on a console with 10 times the userbase of the Xbox. That's money.

I will, till I see it. And till I'm sober.

And yes, I know the GBA = $$$. I still call bullshit.

So I guess the PS2 version of Halo is going to follow after the GBA version, right?

Yes, I know, a handheld doesn't compete with the Xbox... but going by your reasoning above... it's not that improbable. If money is all they want... there's lots of ways MS can make money on the non-XB consoles.

not that i like Halo or anything, but shouldn't this be developed for the Nintendo DS instead? think of it on wi-fi!

[Jeremy]

Well, this will be fun to see unfold. Halo in pretty much any form on the GBA would be neat, as long as it isn't watered down to Duke Nukem on the GBC levels.

You know, I'd be one of the first to jump on the 'this is lame' bandwagon, but after playing Codename Gordon, I could see a really cool 2d sidescroller ala Abuse or summat.

Wonder what they have planned. There's a LOT of room in the universe for different games. The first thought is FPS, but if you dig a bit deeper, there's plenty of room for other types of games. Space engagements anyone? A turn based wargame? An RPG? Lots of stuff.

I think they'll make it a bog standard shitty FPS.

In fact, I'd put money on it. Sad thing is, it'd sell a lot more than a decent sidescroller.
