halo on ds? bungie talks

Bungie had the following to say:

“I believe we got pitched for it several times…Every once in awhile it comes up. Somebody out there some developer pitches and tries to make it happen…It’s very likely that somebody at some point in time created a prototype and tried to pitch it..there has never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game.”

“I mean if it wasn’t a drain on resources. The problem is the DS is not an FPS console right? It’s not an FPS handheld. There really is no such thing. If we did something cool I would like to see it. But I would rather see the Halo IP on any handheld system applied to a different genre because handhelds don’t necessarily do FPS well.”

Now for the last part…have they played Metroid Prime: Hunters? That game was spot on for a FPS and how the DS is the PERFECT handheld for the job.
