It's very sad. Halo was originally announced at MacWorld:

I totally forgot about this! Thanks for sharing.

Halo demos at MacWorld 1999...

Microsoft buys Bungie in 2000...

Halo: Combat Evolved comes out exclusively on XBox in 2001... along with the launch of XBox. What would XBox be without Halo?

I remember that well, because I was playing Starseige:Tribes and there were some Mac fans (and probably a few trolls) in the forums who were very excited... Predicting that Halo (Mac) would be the downfall of PC gaming.
