great theory, but theres something i dont really understand, in Marathn, or at least in marathon Durandal if you look at the default control scheme it is the mjolnimir mark IV, when the cheifs armor is Mark VI, if its in the future y do they have an older model of the armor, but you could some how put that into ur theory

in marathon durandal there is a referense to mjolnimir, but its mark IV rather then markVI

omg!!!! i have a huge discovorey. The ship marathon is a holowd out moon and was lanched befor the master cheif was born. so, in the book, fall of reach, the first spartens are on a mission to take out the insurectionests president. gues where thy find him. they find him in a holowd owt moon around mars that has been created in to a ship also made befor cheif was born


u didnt pay that much attention in fall of reach or first strike did you, that wasnt mars that was a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, mars is in the Sol system, epsilon Eridani is a completly different star system

The MJOLNIR mark IV in Marathon isn't armor, it's you. John wears MJOLNIR mark VI armor. The SO is a MJOLNIR mark IV cyborg.

nice try, but you are wrong.


alright if hes wrong support why he is wrong about this theory then....

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

I dont understand how this could still be stickied, your marathon reference is extremely undeveloped, and Mars is completely out of the question, because the planet in the final cutscene was purely man made.

I would like to invite you to the most active group there is, Black Water Ops. Boasting over 4,000 members this is one of the fastest growing groups and proven to be one of the most active on b.net. An amazing experience awaits you with weekly game nights, photo contests, and forging contests. This is one decision you won't regret. -See you on the battlefield!

Very, very nice job. I never would have guessed that planet was mars. Now here is some more questions this answer starts.
-How does MC fit in to the Marathon series?
-If you play as MC in Marathon, how did he get on the UESC Marathon and why does he have different armor?
-Are there any hidden relations between the two universes such as Flood?
-If Cortana is with you when you travel to the Marathon universe, were is she is Marathon?

It's all so weird... another thing, what is with the Cortana letters? They make a little bit of sense, but when you put all of the facts and theory's for Halo and Marathon there is still A LOT of it that makes very little to no sense. Maybe Bungie has something in store for us between Halo and Marathon... something big.

perhaps it's one of those things were the technology gets more advanced as the number goes down. kinda like fine tunning if you know what i mean

He doesn't.

-If you play as MC in Marathon, how did he get on the UESC Marathon

He doesn't,

and why does he have different armor?

He has different armor because the SO is not the MC.

Are there any hidden relations between the two universes such as Flood?

No.

-If Cortana is with you when you travel to the Marathon universe, were is she is Marathon?

Nowhere.

I think that only people who have read all the books, finished Halo's 1, 2 and 3, all the Marathon games and have done alot of reading on Halopedia should be alowed to post in this thread.

I have a hypothesis that has been with me since seeing the legendary ending, Bungie did a great job of literarily killing the MC off. I have this assumption as his last words to Cortana are"Wake me, when you need me." John Spartan is no longer needed given that the Covenant has been destroyed the Halos are now "offline" and the flood has pretty much been eradicated.

I draw this conclusion given the MC's strict observance of orders throughout the novels and games. He is a lower ranked officer so that there is always someone above him to give orders, and since he is now floating through space there is no one to give him orders. I back this by the notion that the Spartans were primarily intended for the insurrections then the UNSC encountered the covenant and MC had a new mission directive. His mission is now over and he is no longer needed.

I believe that Bungie could not actually kill MC without the entire community base rioting over his demise, and if my hypothesis is correct (really hoping its not) we will not be seeing much of the master chief again.

I apologize if anyone else has brought up this idea, 125 pages of posts is quite a bit of catching up to do.

Let me know what you think.



alright um yea thats actually the best theory in this forum
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. MC Was needed and now no more.
2. Everyone would freak if MC died.
3. Dont forget about the stories of other people in the halo universe.
4.My thoerys wrong(much earlier i had the marathon timeline wrong)
5.Dude your awesome and it Sounds so much like Bungie and Microsoft



Thank you for saying its the "best" I think it just makes sense. I don't, however, think it is the best. Many of these other hypothesis' are amazingly in depth and analytical but may be too complex as to where MC may in fact be.

Thanks again dude, we're all awesome.

Another thing, Cortana and chief do not know that they are in an alternate universe, They think that somebody will find them. But think about this, Being since the arbiter escaped through the portal completely, He must be in the same exact place as the chief, BUT IN THE HALO UNIVERSE. WHICH IS WHY EVERYONE BELIEVES THE MASTER CHIEF IS DEAD. THEY BELIEVE THAT HIS SIDE OF THE SHIP WAS DESTROYED, BUT IN FACT IT IS IN THE MARATHON UNIVERSE.


My only thing against you here is that the Portal may only have been a permanent slipspace rupture and not in fact an inter universal portal. Nowhere is it stated that the Portal is interuniversal. And 343 Guilty Spark gives no indication that the galactic centre he means is not in fact the Milky Way's galactic centre. So sorry, I think they believe the cheif is dead because his part of the spaceship was destroyed... but not that MC is in the marathon universe

Once again Opogjijijp is right. This theory has no proof whatsoever and is speculation at best.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

It seems to me, That the next game bungie puts out will be before marathon, Or continue marathon somehow.


After reading your post, you have me somewhat convinced. You actualy have "proof" of what you're saying. Although, there are some things that have me confounded. Your theory states that the Flood/Forerunner story ark is over. Even though there are plenty of unteid threads, wich wouldent make much sense. Second of all, although the Onyx theory has been dismissed several times, it is more likely, then dimension swap.

Anyway, here are my questions:
If Chief could change dimension, shouldn't the Precursors also be able to? (If they exist, being more than mythologized by the Forerunner). If they dont exist the entire evolution thing will have me confused.
My theory, if I am to tie one in to yours, is that there, throughout the dimentions are repeated themes, such as the Flood/anti life (even though "it" claims to give it hehe...) and that the story of those elements will somwhat be concluded.
And, where is Cortana in Marathon? I have played them all and well, she isn't there. Also, are you stating that Chief is the main character in the previous Marathon games?

EDIT: My other awnser:

In case of "w00t?!" break glass.

iv been thinking, ur theory on the next game being in marathon is all good, but what i think is more likely is that the next game, or a future game will have to do with the forerunner-flood war, because there is so much story that hasnt been told about the forerunner-flood war that it would possibly make a great game

To further proof the time travel theory refer to this Link or this Page. Were it explains that if you enter a type of black whole or portal with a large object in front of you, you could possible be sent back in time or further into the future.

  • 10.19.2008 3:39 PM PDT

The question is not where is the Master Chief, it's when.
