i dont think its true.I remember hearing once that halo was going to be for the macs, but microsoft bought bungie (or something along that)and it was made for xbox instead.
shareYes it was originally going to be ported for the mac. Remember Marathon for the Mac? Halo is a kind of natural progression of the trilogy series.
shareHalo was being developed for the PC and Mac... don't remember any talk about a PS2 port. In those days, ports of PC shooters typically happened some time after the fact, instead of multiple releases as they are these days.

I've never heard of this before either, but it's totally possible that Bungie offered Halo to Sony first. About a year before Halo's release, Bungie released a game called Oni on the PS2, and it was a PS2 console exclusive. So apparently they had been fostering some sort of relationship with Sony prior to the MS buyout.
shareIf Sony 'did' turn down Halo, that was THE BEST decision they ever made! Personally, I think Halo looks HORRIBLE and is WAY overrated! Gears Of War is MILES better!
