Halo = 2D Side Scroller???

[MasterLin1]

This was actually from the bungie.net forums, so don't give me the credit. Unfortunately, I can't find the original thread at their site, but I'm just letting you know I didn't find this on my own, so give credit to the OP at the bungie forums.

If you click the link: http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/243597.asp

Go down to where it says "view all screen shots" A new window will pop-up, hit the previous/back button a couple of times and you'll see what looks like a 2D side scroller version of Halo. Anyone know what this is all about? I'm thinking its just an extra bonus included on the Collector's Edition of Halo 2?

EDIT: Just scroll down and look at ODD's post, he's provided the screenshots.

i didnt check the link out...but i did hear in a magazine that they were making a portable halo

 

[Sporadic]

This is what he is talking about.

 

[MasterLin1]

Are you talking about the Gameboy Halo rumor? Because Bungie itself crushed that one.

If thats not the rumor you're talking about, I'd like to hear more about it. And yes, those are the screenshots I'm talking about, thanks ODD

Hah. It looks like the old Robocop arcade game.

Well I posted it at TXB and it turns out that it is a fan made game. http://www.consoletroopers.com/public/hbc/hbc_frameset.htm

It is in those screenshots because Gamespot did a rumor control on it and they put it under Halo 2 http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/news_6100959.html

Are you sure? Maybe bungie acquired the game somehow?

Man that Halo 2D game looks cool, If they made a portable Halo, I would rather have them wait until the DS comes out...

I second that.

 

[Kaijufan]

That game looks really cool. I cant wait until they finish it.

They have a demo on that link O.D.D. posted. I'm going to try it out. No choice but to download it off of FilePlanet though.

I DL'ed the demo and I just found out how truly cappy my monitor is. It will not show it. POS.

*EDIT* Changed out my crappy monitor for another crappy monitor and I can now play it. Seems decent enough... worth the DL.

 

[chess380]

those screens look nice to bad i cant download the demo

 

[Scorch]

I have the game somewhere on my PC. It kinda sucks.

You can download it here: http://65.78.106.191:88/programs/Halo2D.zip
