Did you ever notice the Marathon(another bungie game) symbol in between the A and the L on the main menu? At least I think it's the Marathon symbol. Which makes me think that Halo takes place before Marathon.
no, i didnt notice, but its not surprising at all
According to bungie, Halo is unrelated to Marathon, aside from the fact that they used some of the same names, and had a close storyline.
