Ok here's my voice in this.
Nintendo have Link/Mario etc.
people say Halo is the Mario of X-bOx where as MGS, DMC and GTA were to be PS2.

A few years later wich is now, The gamecube have GTA and MSG. X-box have GTA, MSG and DMC.

Even though Link and Mario have not been taken from Nintendo it is unfair on the PS2 :P

But personally I think it would make money though it was said Bungie sold themselves to Microsoft. I don't think Rockstar can bbring Halo to the PS2 anymore, they started GTA instead. Wich now, like I said before, is on all three consoles.

PlayStation 2 needs Halo! It'd still be Microsoft's like GTA's still mainly for the pS2 since it is released before. Well the same could happen for Halo.


Also people say the PS2 cannot handle the graphics etc of Halo. I don't know what they are on about. Firstly the power of the x-box isn't THAT much greater than the PS2, and Halo is on the PC now. If it was really neccisary the quality etc could be reduced like for the PC to fit PS2 standard, though I think PS2 could handle Halo perfectly.

It just won't happen. Sony is Microsoft's largest competitor for the console market. By selling out, they would lose money to them and would leave people with less of a reason to buy an X-Box. Also the game would run hideously on PS2, or at the very least look like crap. Roll on XB2 and Halo 3 I say.

Look I don't know if you have a PS2 or not, but if you do, you'd notice it CAN handle the game. Alos if you read some articles, if Rockstar didn't make GTA 3, Halo would already be on the PS2 :P

Also, I don't have a X-Box myself, that's why I want Halo on PS2. Though I wish I had an x-box, lacking money at the moment.

My cousin has one, aswell as a PS2. He's compared them, I've compared them, they arn't as far apart as people say.

Sure the x-box does have better graphics but not as much as you think. also the specs.themselves arn't far off if you look.

Down wit the PS2!! Lol, j/k. I think that the PS2 wouldnt be all that funn becuase you 1)can system link 2)PS2 online service sucks 3) it only has two controller ports for most people.......

I agree with the last points.

"1)can system link" <- not sure what you meant by that.


It's true you'd need a multitap but PS2's online thing isn't as bad as it is. Plus with the new PS2 slimline it has a built in network adapter. The multitap isn't too bad of a problem though, in honest truth they come really cheap now.

Halo should just come to the ps2 now and will stay in the hall of fame games on the ps2! We need Halo, not some killzone!

Lol! Killzone looks ok, but for some strange reason I have my doubts about it.

Also: I've played the PC version of Halo aswell. I found it good but kinda hard to play on my PC cause well...I just don't like game slike thta on the PC that much :P

I played the X-box version and agree the PS2 may have slight trouble playing it.But as far as i can see the PC version would easily be playable on a PS2, heck all you'd have to do is tweak it a little like Rockstar were going to do, and it'd work, Truth to be told, I do have my doubts on Killzone. It was said to be the new 'greatest First person shooter the PlayStaion 2 has seen" wich i think, is total crap.

Sorry to double post: :

"Killzone feels extremely atmospheric and reminds me of a lot of movie scenes. It's scary how the battlefield seems alive with sounds. Better than Halo! Surely to be the best FPS the worl will see." -Guy from a Beta Test

Guess others feel diffrent to me :P

  • 11.10.2004 9:20 AM PDT

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Halo needs a harddrive to run the game engine. PS2 does not come with a hard drive. Sony are idiots for not including a hard drive with PS2. I mean to play FFXI it needs a hard drive. Forget Rockstar, Microsoft and and all the polictial points. Even if Microsoft said Halo could be made for PS2 it counldn't work on the system. Face the facts people: you need to buy an Xbox. Besides, it's a better system.

I want an X-Box! *cries* but I'm going to my cousins house on saturday. I can play it there. Still I'm sure it's possible to play without a hard drive.

What are ppl talking about? Halo on the PS2? The XBOX is not more powerfull than the PS2...

Halo is owned by microsoft, they will nevr let there largest rival sony have it.

The box is three time more powefull than the PS2 and the PS cant support bump mapping or anything. It was originally going to be a PS2 title, But It is even qouted on this very website, by bungie "We never had it running on the PS2 anyway"

Meanwhile, the Take 2 partnership was to be short-lived. In 2000, Microsoft, recognizing the brilliance of the Halo project, decided to acquire the game, the company and the employees, and bring Halo exclusively to Xbox – Microsoft's first video game console. The news sent ripples of excitement, anticipation and disappointment throughout the industry. This meant no PlayStation2 version for sure, and it put the PC and Mac versions in doubt, at least as far as the press were concerned.

"We never got it running on PS2 anyway," quoth an anonymous staffer.


There is an reason why it's not on the PS2 you know...

Thats virtually impossible expecially if you want a game with far far far less superior graphics. You need to study the limitations of the PS2 and compare them with what the Xbox has going for it.

The game wouldnt even be able to pull 2 fps on the PS2 keep your resident evil and other crap while us XBox owners can enjoy the Xbox and Halo.

PS: I had a PS2 until i traded it in to get a second Xbox.

i've played first person shooters on the ps2 and it sucks. even if halo does come out on ps2(which is highly unlikely) it would suck with the ps2's controller.

ps: i own a ps2 , pc and xbox.

LOGIC WARNING: ok, let's talk it out here. First off, i think the controls would be... "weird" if you had to switch 'em to a PS2 controller. Bu that's just me. Here's the facts: Halo sold 5 million copies worldwide (this is Halo 1, mind you). Before that, Xbox sales were lacking, at best. Halo was the "killer app" for Xbox, because people DID buy an Xbox just for Halo. A "killer app" is a killer application, one program that basically made the system worth having. Now then, since Halo is the main reason that Xbox is enjoying its success right now, giving Gates room to start getting better games on his system (like Fable), why would he let any other company take profits from it, monopolizing as it is? Bill gates won't let Halo (or any of its sequels) leave Xbox because, well.... he's getting a LOT of money from it, and it's keeping the Xbox from being a disaster. So that's why Halo will NEVER appear on any system other than Xbox.

halo is for xbox only, the fact that you even made this topic shows that you r not shmart. the and if it did come out for the ps2 it would either A have to be dulled done because the ps2 is a peice of crap system, or B make the ps2 explode as soon as it tries to load it

PS2 along with that other Japanesse game system needs to die. They dont know how to make a console. All they want to do is make money from us american gamers. Microsoft seems to be the only company who knows what the people want.

Bungie i heard is partly owned by microsoft, so we will never in our life time see a halo for the g@ystation
