We really thought this rumor was good and dead, but you may have seen Halo DS rear it's ugly head once more around the internets. Luckily, our friends at Siliconera just so happened to have a little chat on the subject with Bungie at E3 last week. In addition to asking Bungie's Frank O'Connor and Brian Jarrard about whether or not we'll see any more Halo crossovers like the Spartan in Dead or Alive 4, Siliconera also asked about Halo DS. According to O'Connor, "there has never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game." O'Connor and Jarrard admit that Bungie has been pitched such an idea several times, and that there likely have been unsanctioned prototypes created by companies outside of Bungie. Such a prototype is probably what caused this ruckus in the first place. When asked about the future possibility of Halo on DS, the two don't rule it out entirely, but note it likely wouldn't be a first person shooter, as they don't work very well on handhelds.
So there you go. No official Halo DS exists, or ever did. Can we drop this now?

It's unfortunately not going to be dropped until Matt C. at IGN stops bringing it up. Even before E3 he was pushing that it, in fact, existed and we'd see more about it soon.
I think he needs to put up or shut up, really.
