    Bungie made games for Mac originally. The 2003 Mac version isn’t a port, It’s the original game. The PC and Xbox versions are the port. That’s why it feels like it’s behind those. Because it literally did have less development time despite coming out later.

    They released another Halo for Mac a few years later that I think is the one the other commenter is talking about. It came out around the time of the MacBook Air and as a result is the only game I know of that has an official no-cd patch.

      The PC and Xbox versions are the port.

      this is factually incorrect. the first builds shown at macworld were not a full build of the game by any stretch. they were tech demos, essentially. once the deal was done afaik no work was done on the mac platform for years.
