This info was known almost a year ago. Yes it was planned but was soon scrapped. There was never a working version made.

If you'd read the links, you'd know IGN's Matt Cassimania begs to differ. He claims to have played a working (albeit, cancelled) version, and that proof that the game was developed to a working stage will come out in the post-E3 period.

Too bad! It would've been interesting to see the final product in action.

Halo for the DS is like God and the devil working side by side.

I love Halo, to have it on the go on the DS would have been awesome, as I play my DS more than I get time to play anything else

Halo would have been amazing on DS! ...

Amazingly poor.

Halo on DS woul have THE most terrible graphics.

(It could work I guess but the graphics would need to be toned down to ps1 quality.)

FO: I believe we got pitched for it several times.

BG: Every once in awhile it comes up. Somebody out there some developer pitches and tries to make it happen.

FO: Microsoft does publish DS games or licenses them, I think to THQ.

BG: It’s very likely that somebody at some point in time created a prototype and tried to pitch it.

FO: Which is probably what Casamassina is talking about.

BG: But there has never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game.

S: Would you ever like to see that [Halo on the DS]?

FO: 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.
