No, Bungie is owned by Microsoft.

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.


I believe that answers your question quite well.

Would this game have ever even worked on the PS2?


I Believe the answer you requested lies within Bungie:

Hope that helps.

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

could the ps2 hardware handle it, most likely. but it would have taken bunge awhile to cater to the ps2's needs as a gaming platform. i'm glad they didn't personally.

the reason the xbox worked when it came out was because it had halo at launch. if the PS2 and xbox had halo, the xbox wouldn't have had anything special.

actualy that isnt the right way to word the question your topic asks. you ask if it would work on the Ps2. answer. yes. the Ps 2 is more then powerful enough to handle Halo Ce and Halo 2. hell i wouldnt be surprised with it could handle a lesser graphical version of Halo 3. also some of the above psots are also missing information. Bungie went to Sony BEFORE they went to microsoft. Sony turned bungie down saying they didnt want to give them the 4 years that bugnie wanted to delevop Halo CE. they went to microsoft and they said you can have all the time you want.

AFTER msn gained owership of bungie did they EVEN start thinking about building their own console. if Sony had accepted bungie's offer the xbox would have never been built. ( oh and dont get me started about msn's so called promise about the 'last' console you'd ever buy. the xbox was suposed to have internal upgrade packages released for it on yearly basis but they never released anything. they took all the upgrades they did have for it and a lazily slaped it together and called it the 360. if your a super tech nerd take your 360 and tear it apart and put all the core units into the xbox and it'll play 360 games better then the 360 ever will) the only other xbox exclusive games i see worth while for the ps2 is KOTOR and mech assualt. thats all the xbox has for it

any other games you think should be on that list?
