I've heard the rumors of Halo 2 on the GBA. Please tell me if these are true. If they are give me a linky to the article

I doubt it. The GBA doesn't have enough buttons. You would need a really simplified version of the game. I guess it would be ok if you were somewhere without an xbox. But again I seriously doubt that it's true. I don't know of any Bugie deals with Nintendo.

As I've said to other inquisitors countless times before, there will not be Halo 2 for GBA. a) it's nintendo b) nintendo's crap c) it's microsoft only d) microsoft would never let it go to nintendo e) Halo 2 is huge, and I don't think there'd be much sales if ppl have played it on XBOX, then get it for a far inferior (while good among handheld standards) system.

Oh ya, I would love a sidescrolling halo. Like the original Metroid games.

LOL, I would seriously doubt the validity of this rumor in any reality even close to ours. C'mon, Microsoft and Nintendo are competitors in the video game market, so why would Microsoft want to help Nintendo make money by redesigning a game it basically owns for GBA or GB DS, and why would Nintendo want to allow Microsoft a beachhead into the only market Nintendo currently has a lock on? No, this is a fairly ridiculous and unfounded rumor.

Yeah, but Microsoft is succesful because it is fairly ruthless when it comes to business. Does Microsoft make money on selling Xboxes? No, they don't. Every Xbox Microsoft sells costs more to make than the purchase price. So why is Microsoft eating millions upon millions of dollars? So they can establish themselves among gamers. A port to the GBA would be profitable to Microsoft, but it is more profitable to Microsoft for people to have to buy an Xbox, then buy their games. In the short term, Microsoft loses money on the purchase of the Xbox, but makes money from probably selling several games to the person who purchased that Xbox (game DVD's are extremely cheap in bulk and Microsoft makes an enormous profit off of selling the game). So yes, a GBA port would make Microsoft money, but making people buy the Xbox game and Xbox gets them a lot more in the long ruun.

Microsoft will get a lot of royalties and money from their share for every halo sale on whatever gameboy though i still think more likely the DS. it wouldn't be halo 2 but a cheap halo 1 port or a new game especially for it

Microsoft arent selling their best license to a nintendo handheld! Your all quite gullible if you think its a possibility. But! I know most of you knew it was a rumour anyway.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Though, I do remember their being a Oddworld game for GBA.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Electronic Gaming Monthly had said that they had heard rumors about a Halo 1 version on the GBA.
