Yeah, Halo was originally going to be on Mac and consoles, PS2 included.

From the IGN page on Halo on PS2


The production of Halo has a long and tumultuous history. The title was originally designed as a breakthrough game for Apple's Mac systems, and console versions of the game also became a high-priority project for the development team when it signed with Take-Two. As all PlayStation 2 owners are aware, however, production on Halo was shifted immediately to an Xbox version in 2000 when Take-Two Interactive sold its 20% share of developer Bungie to Microsoft. Thereby solidifying Halo's position as an Xbox and PC exclusive (with a Mac port much, much later on) forever.

Nah, it would've probably looked like Halo PC running on a Geforce 3 Ti, if the optimization was properly done. The PS2 isn't that powerless if it can run Splinter Cell Chaos Theory with mostly 30 fps.

I'm surprised people still talk about Halo on PS2. Reminds me of how Halo 3's trailer ran on a PS3 kiosk (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gm82FY8hzxA).
