No, Halo really isn't all that special to begin with. And that Halo DS isn't a real game, someone just modded Golden Eye Rogue Agent for DS, you can tell because they didn't change any of the sounds or the cross hairs other than add in Halo Music.

Did you like totallly miss that video two posts above.

No, I was responding to that video. All it is is Golden Eye Rogue Agent for DS but modded with new skins and maps. The sounds are all still the same though and everything. If you've played the game before you can tell.

Well, that rumor was started by IGN, as that video was released by IGN IIRC. Is it not more likely that Rare (owned by Microsoft) may have been working on Halo (owned by Microsoft) DS until management said "Hey, we don't want Halo on DS anymore", at which point they may have reused some of the code and put it into another FPS property they own and release that instead?

That seems more likely to me then IGN going through the trouble of modding and probably breaking laws only in order to spread a false rumor that would damage their reputation and invite legal action if they were discovered...

Edit: looking at the release dates, it certainly seems plausable that there was code sharing either way. If IGN released the videos after it had been canned for some time, which is likely, then they were developed within the same window, which lends credence to the theory that one may have reused code from the other.

Edit2: Looking at IGN's take on the reasons Halo DS was canned, and then looking at who developed Goldeneye, means that I believe this theory even more.

Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
