Did Matt Casamassina’s torrid love affair with Perrin Kaplan finally pay off? When he revealed that, once upon a time, there was a working build of Halo DS in development, had he descended from the Ivory IGN Tower to bestow some legitimate truth upon we the gaming plebeians? Has his crazy hair finally, once and for all, taken over the rest of his gray matter real estate? Sadly, we may never know. But hey, just for poopsky’s and giggles, let’s let Cas out of the cage one last time so he can dish once again about Halo DS.
In IGN’s Wii-k in Review podcast for 6/15/2007 Mr. Casamassina brought it up again, and had this to say: “It’s a real game… we’re going to lay down some ownage next week or soon afterward by showing you guys that it is a real game.”
Fun fact: When someone says they’re going to “lay down some ownage” you have little choice but to believe them. You just have to. It’s in your DNA. Such is the power of Matt C., News Crop. and corporate sponsorship. So what do you think… Halo DS? I think Microsoft and the whole “we own Bungie now, you idiot” thing might come into play on this one.

It’s highly unlikely that this would happen, but hey, we see a lot of single console platform games having cellphone versions made of them, maybe this is a bit like that since Microsoft doesn’t have any portable gaming devices… Naah, I call bullshit on this one, I’d even have more faith in it if Infendo would break the story, Matt Casamassina is a douche…

Even if it is real, I don’t care.
Halo = Overrated.

Halo on DS would be a wet dream come true for me… But, alas, it’s not going to happen! I call out major BS on this one…
Oh, and, no, Halo is NOT overrated! You can’t over-rate that game!
waltermh
it is too over rated, if it was for the pc it would have bombed. there just werent many other choices on the console at the time, and now its fanbase is so large they play each sequel out of habit or nastalgia instead of spending time on the better shooters out there.

they could make it if someone hombrewed it…. like starcraft *winkwinknudgenudge*

I’m gonna take hate for this but here goes, Metroid=Overrated (WTF is fun with backtracking through the same level 50 times ; ) !!!),
Halo=Overrated (Story=Space marine go kill bad alien, multiplayer= hey this is fun!, wait what is that 12 year old kid yelling at me? : ) )

Halo DS could be pretty cool. Maybe if it went 3RD person shooter with a lot of focus on the vehicles it could be fun.
Of course, chances are its just a tech demo to see what they could come up with on the DS for future games. It just used Halo models as placeholders for the tech demo.
Still, for all of you who say ” This will NEVER happen, Halo is ONLY on X-box and X-box 360″ I remind you that it is not. As a matter of fact I might just go play Halo online, on my P C right now.
Not my X-box.

Matt Casamassina gets on my nerves. I don’t trust him. It’s those lazy bloodshot eyes and thsoe iffy jumpers he wears. I couldn’t care less about whether Halo DS exists because I really do not think Halo is all that.

PC that is made by Microsoft. ;(

Actually most PC are not made by Moneysoft. Many a pc is run with a Microsoft operating system, yes. ( Windows)
But it was just an example of a Microsoft developer making games that are not just for X-box.
Rare is now owned by Moneysoft, and they are making DS games.
you never know, but I don’t think we will see Halo DS. To bad because it would generate a lot of interest in the ” Hard Core” gameing world and create even more sales for the DS.
