if this were true, the arbiter and chief in different universes thing, there would be a problem, how can you explain the fact that the ship entered a portal from one LOCATION to the other, rather than an extradimensional portal...slipspace is simply a collective term for the seven non-visible infinitesimal quantum dimensions used for faster-than-light travel. Quantum does not mean multiuniversal. I would believe that when the ship divided, the chief and cortana simply exited slipspace early, and ended up at a location in between the ark and earth, most like what you refer as to near the small Magellanic cloud.

(I don't think universe travel is possible in Halo. Even with all the forerunner relics mentioned and used, none of them had dimensional displacement capabilities, only Slipspace.
Even Onyx, the Shield Installation was a Slipspace Bubble, nothing more. There is nothing I can think of that indicates the Forerunners had any knowledge of inter-dimensional/inter-universal capabilities.) thx Crucio for the quote

The planet in question (thx Cruise117) is most likely a forerunner object, possibly a shield world or micro dyson sphere. If this is correct, the forerunners then play a part in what happens to the Master chief next as there may be a possible encounter between him and the MC. However, the dependency of what happens next also depends on how long its been since the split of the Forward onto dawn and the legendary clip, in which cortana may have achieved rampancy, therefore meaning shes one pissed off lady which needs to be deleted.

Theres also a possibility that 05-032 Mendicant Bias played a part in where the MC ended up, as he does say hell use the MC to atone for his past sins. Which means that either mendicant wishes for us to awaken the forerunners (possibly concealed in stasis pods) or another, greater purpose bungie is waiting to release in the distant future. Not halo 4, but a new trilogy entirely

Finally, bungie clearly stated, halo and marathon are NOT connected, not here, not now, not ever...anybody disagree with me?


I agree with you. Heres my theory. if you played halo wars you know that the Spirit of Fire ends up finding a shield world. And so i think that MC is floating towards a shield world that may have Forrunner survivors living there stillor have some surprise, it could be the Forrunners home planet. Or it could be a flood planet but i think a shield world would be more realistic.

The Covie AI is Mendicant Bias the AI that betrayed the Forrunners and doomed them. And if memory serves correct his words were "fools these arent Relics they are Reclaimers" this is not exactly what he said but its close i know that much. after he said that the prophets unplugged him because they relized that what he just sayed was direct proof that the very foundations of the covenant religion was rong. the covenant religion is based around if your very very good and follow orders to the letter and worship the forrunners then once they found the halos they would light them and go on a greate journey and become gods(which isnt what happend) any way the reason it directly contradicts there religion is because they promised that no one would be left behind if your good and what mendicant bias said they interpreted as these so called reclaimers are sinners and were left behind by the forrunners. and the forrunners are the creaters of that A.I. he may have said you are the child of my makers like Guilty spark says but he didnt say that the humans created him. and yes the milky way is constantly moving but earth was not outside of the galaxy when the Halo's were lit and were not in a stand point were moving with the galaxy because its theorized that theres a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. which is probably accurate because it explains why we have spirals in the galaxy and why there are more stars in the center than on the outer parts of the galaxy. But the point is earth was never outsode of the milky way.

yes earth is in the milky way but maybe the earth didn't form untill after the ring were lit buy the Forrunners and thats y theres still life in the galaxy because new planets keep forming

What about.... The planet MC was floating above was actually a Shield World, and that surviving Forerunners, Flood or even Mendicant Bias could be there?

Nice theory except the halo universe and the Marathon universe are two diferent universes

nice try, but you are wrong.

  • 04.16.2009 2:32 PM PDT

DERP.

REMEMBER'D IT!
if you watch the Leg. ending, when he is in the ship, watch Cortana's face when M.C. says "wake me when you need me." she looks surprised.

OR:

she could be realising that she may go rampant, and there will be NO chance of being found if she does. IE: she stops the distress beacon.

Halo 4 FTW

Who cares?

  • 04.29.2009 6:45 PM PDT

I think this theory is near flawless. And if it is a shield would or another Ark like Onyx, well, damn! maybe it is an entrance to the micro sphere thing that the other last spartans could be trapped in. Who knows. i like this theory. and it has a lot of proof to back it up.

well good evidence but thats totally wrong it is impossible its marathon do u really think bungie would make it that difficult to find out? no they just want it to make it availble for another halo 4. also marathon just isnt as bad ass as halo

this is closer to what ive heard.

"the master cheif and cortana have been taken on purpose to the other spartans to finish this war for ever" :(

Ahhhhh!

HOLY -blam!-! Thats alotta pages, i was gunna read them first then post my theory but FTS! Instead ill just post, now i havent really researched it but its the first one i could think up. Maybe chiefs floating towards Onyx, because last I heard the crust of the planet was ejected into space revealing the surface to literally be made of some type of metal. While the new generation of spartans, a few of the Master Chiefs spartans, Dr. Halsey(creator of the spartans) and Chief Mendez, are residing within Onyx, which is believed to be a shield world. NOW, you still with me, as i said Onyxs's surface was revealed to be made of some type of metal, while in the legendary ending it looks as if Master Chief is floating towards a metal planet. Maybe Chief will hook up with his old crew, thatd be friggin sweet, fighting side by side with other spartans! Oh and there were two unidentified beings in some sort of preservation chamber, maybe Forerunner? Sorry i dont have anymore than that, but as the original maker of this post once said, "this is my theory, so it is already 100 percent true in my head."

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


It seems that some people are not understanding why you see a nebula in the legendary ending.
MIKEFLOUNDERS said it best.
Posted by: MIKEFLOUNDERS
Small Magellanic Cloud is 200,000 light years away from our galaxy ,our galaxy is 100,000 light years across so the radius is 50,000 light years so 2.5 galactic radius would be 150,000 light years to where chief is and 50.000 light years the the small magellanic cloud in the back ground so he is prity much still in our universe and in marathon you tack off from earth in the marathon as a secruity guard....


Halo 3 takes place 200 YEARS before marathon, When master chief's part of the ship slips into the marathon universe, It is still the same exact year he was just in. He floats in space for 200 years until you see the colonized mars appear, And then get eclipsed by the sun eclipsing luna in the background.
This

Theory.


btw,
ONYX ASPLODED.


NEW SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
FINALLY UPDATED

At the beginning of the legendary ending, Right where Cortana is awaking the chief from his little nap, You see a small object that looks just like the security com device that the security bots in marathon had.

It also shows in the halo 3 permutation.
Take a look - Picture proof.
Side view / back view of the security helmet permutation ( adds the communication box )
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/Jspgameboy/securitycom side.jpg
And now the beginning of the legendary cutscene... You can clearly see the Com box floating with the cheif
http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/Jspgameboy/?action=vie w&current=Securitycom.jpg


And if you have a counter-theory, Then please support yourself with any type of source available, Pictures, Interviews, Anything except of rumors, Or what is widely believed without proof.
If you don't, You will be insulted. =]



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.
http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/9011/infestationsm1.jpg
This image was from server 2.

Look at the legendary cut scene, Look where the light originates from, Then look at that picture.
You are looking at an early mars, From the game marathon, With the sun eclipsing Luna, Which creates the big flash of light.

Do you want absolute proof that this is mars?
http://www.astro.su.se/~magnusg/SIRCA

THESE ARE THE SAME EXACT THERMAL IMAGES OF MARS THAT ARE IN THE INFESTATION PICTURE.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/Jspgameboy/UPDATEDDIAG RAM.jpg

KEEP IN MIND, THESE ARE FROM A TRUSTED GERMAN OBSERVATION SITE.
THESE ARE THE EXACT IMAGES.
BUNGIE WANTED US TO KNOW IT WAS MARS.
BECAUSE HALO RELAPSES INTO MARATHON!!!!!!!!



Some people think that MB sent master chief back into time, This is NOT possible, Why? In the last cutscene, Lord hood says " Its hard to believe he's dead ".
If MC would have in fact been sent back in time by Mendicant Bias, I am fairly sure that Master chief would have stopped the flood earlier, Which would mean that lord hood and arbiter would not have even been involved in an alliance.


The next game that bungie puts out will take place in this universe, They ended the story ark with the flood, And now they will make a game that involves the marathon story ark.

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.

This has renewed my faith in bungie writers, Well played.

And to people that say this theory isnt possible because of the different universe thing, in the game Marathon Infinity, the main character can travel between universes and dimensions.

Trogdor404 said it best: ( I did not quote because one of my older threads got locked for quoting too many people )

1. Marathon takes place on a ship called marathon, but the ship is actually a hollowed out moon of Mars
^^^^^^^^^^^
I never put that in bold, wtf?
2. The Iris and the Mars photos are exact, meaning Bungie meant for Mars to be somewhere in the game, and look at the iris pictures, everything lines up with the legendary pictures.

Also more supporting evidence:
Posted by: cornage
Okay, To get this thread started, this is another one of those "Post your theories" threads, but I think this one goes deep. I wondered about IRIS and what it meant after Halo 3, so I watched the server videos, got most of the IRIS info. to be "as stocked up on my halo 3 ending skills" as possible... but I still didn't get it... I was stumped. I decided to go through the last server video one more time, because I thought it was the most revealing of them all. IT WAS. I was watching the last video, but slowing it down a couple of notches... I think I found some serious reference to the future of the series. Marathon is the answer. Now Don't leave, I know how many of you hate the idea of "The Marathon theory" and how bungie would never do that... but this info. seems to push it with bungie and their "marathon references" for fans. I Don't even like the idea that much, but this has me teetering on the fence about the future of the series:

As I was watching the last server video from the IRIS (ARG) and these are extremely fast frames, but I think that I caught a picture of a Phfor enforcer and a Compiler (Marathon 2). I'm serious, it changing my whole outlook on the future of the series, and I suggest you all review those videos of IRIS.

When viewing, the MARATHON CONCEPT ART is on left, while the IRIS PHOTO is on the right.

Compiler: Click Here

And the Enforcer:Click Here

The compiler is slightly viewed from and angle, looks as if it is sitting on a throne, and the enforcer is getting disentigrated from his right, facing us.

The enforcer photo may have something to do with the Forerunner/ Flood war, as it is right after the frame where " but If we fail (if the forerunner fail to save the earth)". Post what you think.







This fails as bungie has already stated Marathon is not related to halo in anyway

Like halo games
like shooter games

In the end of halo 3 master chief and cortana are in a ship. If u here clearly cortana says
nobody may find them for days or years. So you have to wait

  • 05.25.2009 4:55 PM PDT

what I want to know is where are cortana and chief? cortana said that the portal closed just as they got through but if that was the case, they would still be attached to the arbiter's half and chief would be back on earth. but since they're not, and the destroyed ark is nowhere to be seen, where could they be?? the only thing iv'e come up with is that the explosion of the ark propelled them into deep space to this forerunner planet that everyone's talking 'bout...
