Subject: Where in the world in Master Chief?. An extensive scientific theory.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

[/quote]If you played Marathon you would know you can travel to any universe/dimension in it there for they can easly be linked[/quote]

Halo and Marathon are completly different though, if that were possible surely we would have known about that since Halo CE.

Good theory, but you could have at least capitalized "Marathon", as it took me like 3 paragraphs to confirm that "marathon" = "Marathon".

  • 07.10.2008 1:44 PM PDT

the real question is, how does the cheif get back to the Halo universe?
What, no Arby, Noooooooooooooo!
you know, somthing I noticed, it was playing Flood Music when it showed them floating twards the firy, thingy............................
also, nicley done, i mean before I was like, "No Blaming way it's possible'', but your theory made me pis my pants twice and now I am totaly with you.

98% of Americans have tried marijuana, if you are .... WHOA, my hands are HUGE

If someone took the time to write the post then I will take the time to read it.

It's a good theory, and well thought out, but because we don't know the nature of the portals, the planet that he gets sent to in the legendary ending could literally be any planet in the universe (Halo or Marathon). The only thing wrong with your theory is that if that is the storyline that Bungie wishes to take, then they will almost certainly alienate many fans of halo. I am certain that there are many people (myself included) that have never played a Marathon game (I really should, shouldn't I), and sending the Master Chief into that universe will certainly confuse A LOT of people.

I mean, you need to know H2's story to understand H3's, and you need to know H1's story to understand H2's, which is understandable and logical, because they're all in the same series. But to make the storyline such that you have to understand the story of a whole different series of games to understand it makes very little sense indeed.

However, it is still a very well thought out theory, thanks for posting it.

This may help your theory in some way, what do you think?

C&H

As the frigate escaped through the portal, Cortana states that the portal collapsed just as they were going through.

Which means the other half that the arbiter was in, made it completely through.

It is my theory ( 100% positive in my head ) , That when the portal collapsed, It did so on the master chiefs side of the ship, Sending them into another universe. The arbiter is in the halo universe, In the same time, But chief + cortana are in the marathon universe.
You can also see a resemblance between the planet in the cut scene, and the planet image "Infestation" That was involved in part of IRIS.

No offence intended what so ever but.....

If the portal collapsed on the chiefs side he would more likely than not have been vaporised. Its all scientific theory (and remember just because its a scientific theory doesnt mean it cant be proven wrong. hence why its called theory and not fact) that a portal closing would be spaced folding back on its self. anything caught between that space would be crushed into the tiniest form of matter, effectively dust. and yes, that includes the master chief because he is made of matter, and no his shield wouldnt save him and either way he is probably going to die, the ship could not hope to generate power when its been cut in half and without the cryo tubes working he will age die and rot.

Its more likely that cortana tried to open up a slipspace window and the resulting explosion ruptured the ship in half in slipspace casuing the front end of the ship to jump closer to earth and the 2nd half to fall out of slipspace along the way.

Although it is possible someone will come along the chief but i doubt that the wrecked ship would have enough power to keep cortana and the chief alive.

TBF i dont really know much about the "Marathon Theory" but i believe Marathon was a game made before halo? and i coudlnt see bungie crossing two games into one. It would alienate to many fans and they have a whole new set up they can explore.

Halo 4 will more likely than not See chief by himself fighting a stronger enemy than the covenant and will probably end with him being found by the Arbiter and his elites or the UNSC get a copy of cortanas slipspace info from the covenant craft from the novel first strike and they end up finding him. Or he dies.

i like pie :D

  • 07.12.2008 11:14 AM PDT

blah blah blah

sorry mate but there is one problem with your theory, cortona never said they made it out, and if you study what she says, you will know that they are actually stuck in the slipstream, like Team Katana from Ghost of Onyx....( but your theory could all be possible, i'm not saying that it cant be right)

you know it could just be some random planet and maybe the Elites are going to grab the chief or maybe a bunch of other stuff all i can say is were gonna be guessing and guessing but we'll never know cuz Bungie likes to make games with cliffhanger endings (Halo 1 Halo 2 Halo 3 just as examples) your theory is good but its not Rock Solid i suggest get more evidnece from the Halo universe you got all the Marathon Universe down pact

arguments turn into battles and battles turn into wars,dismantle the arguments and everything is fine.

Note: The Enforcer pic at the original post has a human looking shadow in the midle of it. And the human has a dome shaped head (or helmet *hint*).

And to the people that say the ship isn't powered: not true. The engines are in the back of UNSC military grade ships. There is a reason the Shaw-Fujikawa engines are in the back, you know. The engine would burn the ship up if it wasn't in the back.

No. Marathon is not related to Halo. Bungie said this long ago...

Right after the legendary ending was seen ppl jumped to theories like this. Bungie said no. its reasonable no doubt, but bungie said they are two completely different stories and are not related.

Bungie said that there won't be a movie. But guess what popped up after they announced that? A video of a working warthog at a studio where Peter Jackson is working on a Halo project. A movie.

Just because they say there isn't doesn't mean there won't be.

Besides, there are too many similarities in all of the first person shooting games Bungie made to be a coincidence.

I dont understand. When you say Halo universe and Marathon universe, do you mean like alternate dimensions. because i find that highly difficult with slipspace.
Yes, I have read all the books

"Undoubtedly this is the heretic's doing!"

I think the most important question to ask is, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

ok wow, that is thorough. I have meaning to ask this for awhile. What is this IRIS you are talking about??

sorry but double posting but 1 thing I want to know then, why would MC be wearing such low grade armor in Marathon. From what I know, his armor was working fine at the end of Halo 3

Maybe rust from the cold temperature of the cyro did something to his armor.

And yes I do mean alternate dimensions. If it happened in Marathon and Halo is somehow connected to Marathon, then the alternat dimension stuff is possible in Halo 3.

Slip space itself is another dimension all together.
