It doesn't exist, but Solitude might end up getting a Dreamcast port someday. Solitude Moddb Page

EDIT: To avoid confusion, Halo is in the canceled games list for the Sega Dreamcast, I didn't mean that one.

i think he is talking about the Marathon series. i think there might be some ISOs of it in the download section. its not actually Halo. its the predecessor of Halo and it wasn't released for the Dreamcast. it might of been emulated on the Dreamcast?

If he does mean Marathon, there are downloads for it, but it isn't finished.

It is missing the following:

Save Support
Controller Support (It only allows Keyboard and Mouse at the moment.

Halo was planned for Dreamcast at one time though, it's just Microsoft bought the rights to it from Bungie after the DC died I think, because they really were going to only have it on a Mac and DC in the begining, then it was going to be on PC and finaly got pot on Xbox in the end.

Had it been on Dreamcast, it would have looked like a different game altogether form the final Xbox version.



This article even mentions the Dreamcast version.

Here is the final proof for you that it was even posted in a Dreamcast magazine before it was even a FPS game in the first place.

I think is was originally going to be a real time strategy game which resembles nothing of what is has become today.

Yeah, I can even show you a video of the HALO devs looking back on what the game was like in 99 and 2000 and they were talking about how it was an RTS, then 3rdps and then finaly it's transition to a true FPS game. It was even going to be a full free roaming game at one point.

I just wish Marathon trilogy had working joypad support and saves, as it is working at full speed...

The Halo 2 Collectors Edition DVD has some awesome behind the scenes stuff.
