for any Unreal Software game: no, it would not be a simple and quick conversion. it would require a complete recode from scratch. which takes forever.
(cs2d)

how much time did cs2dmax take?
maybe a much more limited version but I'm currently not planning to spend 100 (?) usd per year just for the chance that the game MIGHT by released in the app store. yeah, you have to pay money to develop games for Apple hardware... Apple is BAD and absolutely not "developer-friendly"
oh and Apple would - of course - absolutely decline a Counter-Strike clone due to licensing/copyright and stuff. this means that it would have to have another name etc.
these things are not as easy as you seem to think

if ure gonna put all of cs2d's controls on a touchscreen then that would not be a very playable game. Probably better to strip down many things.
if someone does manage to make a good 2d fps game... It could get VERY popular
btw I recall there was a cs2d for psp or something

impossible to estimate that. I didn't count the hours / days I worked on it. it has over 50k lines of code though. would take months to recode this for iphone/ipod touch (if you want to have a version with all the features of the original one). I'm surely not going to do that

Sorry if I say something illegal, but (!). Let's talk about jailbreaking. It's bad and illegal but it has the awesome thing called Cydia. It is a shop where you can buy and download for free applications made by independent developers. Which is really neat. You could try to make this app for jailbroken iDevices.
I have always wanted to learn making iOS apps for Cydia, so now I would have a reason
why don't you do it if you think that it is such a good idea?
btw.: the search function dont work with my iphone.. (sry for offtopic)

Jailbreaking is legal! The only thing that isn't legal is downloading cracked app, so ...
It is illegal. That's why your warranty is void in case of a jailbreak.
it IS illegal. All emulators are illegal this won't be "simple and quick conversion", because CS2D was written in BlitzMax and it support Windows, Linux and Mac ONLY Now back on topic:
CS2D on iPod/iPhone would be sh*t, because of the controls. Even games desinged only for iPhones have sh*tty controls, now think about CS2D...
but what if one of manufacturers will make keyboard and mose for iphone (via Bluetooth for example)?
I would purchase an App like that to try it out.
Edit:
Sh*t I clicked no
. But how about stranded? CC? MGM?
