A good theory but i really don't think bungie would cross two different games series, my own theory stays within the halo universe my theory is that the spirit of fire phoenix class ship from halo wars finds the back half of forward into dawn and master chief and cortana it would fit in quite well with the story in my opinion and basically spirit of fire has been classified as mia since it never returned back to harvest or earth to report. They are as of currently making there way to earth because of the loss of there slip space drive it will take many years to reach earth i think spirit of fire finds the dawn on there way back to earth. To prove my theory the legendary ending of halo wars has an audio sequence that says "captain wake up something has happened" at that exact moment in the time line the spirit of fire finds the dawn and Serena awakes the crew from hyper sleep. To further prove my theory at the legendary ending cortana say ill drop a beacon but it might take years for someone to find us . That is my theory


I cant believe that im the only one that thinks that halo wars plays a more significant role in the halo story than just a lost segment of the second battle of harvest.


read the timestamp at the begining of the game in the 1st custscene
nah ill be nice and save you the trouble.

"20 years before the 1st events of halo".....
this is to much like a "wheres waldo" book

my own theory is that master chief

A:went back in time and ended up in the marathon univerese. because thats how slipspace works bending time. good example you can try at home to see what im talking about.

slipspace is like taking a peice of paper and folding it in half. no instead of going the unfolded way you can take the short cut and magically appear on the other side of that folded up paper. but when your doing that you go in a different univerese and slipspace jumps are extremely dangerous if you do it in the planets atmosphere....when a slipspace jump goes wrong it is like crumbling up a peice of paper into a paper ball. now that they went jumped through a "paper ball" they could end up anywhere in any univerese....another way that a mishap could happen comes from the movie doom the top half of pinky ended up at one location and his ass end ended up at point B. arbitor is on earth and masterchief could be drifting towards mars in a different time period

my 2nd theory is that some how these spartan 2's are drawn togeather by fate and masterchief got pulled back to where blue squad (the last of the spartan 2's) is located inside the shield world....

now that ive read the ghosts of onyx i kinda think that kurt just kinda commited suicide because the planet went kaboom and there is no way that the 2 furi warheads he had could do that to a sentinal factoryy which is onyx. he should have jumped into that portal because there is no way that the elite could have jumped down that staircase and lived.

no they wouldnt because even though that mastercheif could be on mars they havnt learned yet that masterchief could be frozen in an unknown location.....its the way history works somtimes

If Bungie sent MC into a different universe, it would be their biggest failure ever, and if that was Mars, humanity would find him prefectly fine, everyone would be =), and it would be lame.

Also, labeling this as an "extensive scientific theory" is false because it is almost completely your theories with so-called "proof" while flashing us with pointless thermal images.

I think your theories are alright, but I like Battlemech's Halo Wars one better. Characters from Halo Wars meet MC ftw?

H3 is the best game in the world!!!

/Metallica\

The thread creator fails. First off that alternate universe thingy isnt likely to happen at all(there goes your scientific theory),besides that it would be an awful cliche, by merging 2 games with that kind of bridge between. Second, if Marathon is 200 years l8er, wtf does it have to do with MC being near Mars?? Bungie already finished all Marathon games and there are no DIRECT, and as you see I enhance direct, allusions to the Halo Universe, or at least no explicit ones. Third, and finally, at E3 2009 was revealed that Bungie is doing a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, completely aside from Marathon.

Summing it up, your theory doesnt just suck, as you have no proofs(scientific or not) of what took you hours to write. Next time get all the info on Marathon and Halo before you come here and theorize.

It really looks like you have researched this very well, and have a firm belief in what you wrote...... But I find your theory to be just too far out there. You make it sound simple , but the complexity you stated is too extreme for me. I agree with a much simpler theory that after the slip-space stream was broke, it left mc and cortana wherever they were while in slip-space. This can happen because in the books they talk of ships leaving slip-space inside of planets. Slip-space works on a completely linear course, it passes straight through objects not around them. So in summary i believe you are wrong and the cheif will either drift on forever or he will be discovered as hinted on by the legendary ending.

I know where master chief is. In a disk, in your console.


That's what she said. I think.

I like what you have come up with in your theory. And here is a little thing I found to back you up...

"Marathon takes place in the year 2794 aboard a large, multi-generational colony spacecraft called the UESC (United Earth Space Council) Marathon. The ship was converted from Deimos, one of Mars' two moons."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(video_game)

The Marathon logo...
Yes, we've all seen it, and it is the same as in Halo. No explanation for this one...

MJOLNIR...
MJOLNIR is used as a soldier class in Marathon just like how it is used as project names for unlockable armor like Scout (even though that's Recon Project) and Rogue.

"The invasion on Tau Ceit, Leela states, was unsuccessful, as nine mjolnir military cyborgs had been hiding among the population. According to Leela, ten were smuggled onto the Marathon three hundred year prior when the ship left Mars and several historical files were deleted."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(video_game)

If Marathon didn't take place until about 200 years after MC was lost in space, then how does this just sound fitting into a Halo story line. It seems like Marathon took place 100 years before MC was lost in space if you ask me... DO THE MATH!

Terminals...
Yes, there are 7 terminals in Halo 3, which relate to how Marathon has terminals and how the number 7 is a huge part in Marathon (and Bungie's favorite number!) In both games they show logs and data that are some what important information for the story line.

Hunters...
Just take a look. Now I have a good thought that the Flood has no relation to this, but take a look at the picture I found anyway and see how close of a relation the Halo 3 hunters are to the 2 huge purple like aliens.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/Marathon_1_Scre enshot.jpg
You'll see the relation.

Another fact...
"Leela and the security officer complete several tasks afterward, such as rescuing several crew members being attacked in a recreational area, decompressing a highly infested area, and sending a message to earth to warn them of the invasion."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(video_game)
To go along with the ship being a hollowed out moon from Mars. This is just another piece of evidence. It happened near Earth like Halo did... see the resemblance now?

I support his theory.

Cortana was made based off of Dr. Catherine(i think thats how you spell it) Halsey. Cortana is even supposed to look like her when she was younger....... Im sorry where i forgot where i herd that. I think its mentioned in the book series somewhere.
That is because all smart AI are based on a human brain through cognitive impression mapping, which requires actual brain tissue (which usually means that the humans from whom AI are modeled after are usually dead beforehand).

Cortana, like every AI, chose her own "avatar", or visual image. In either case, as I said, all AI are still comprised of electrical impulses, code, and obviously run on a piece of hardware. In the end, they are a creation of mankind. The whole metastability phase is simply the idea of said AI actually evolving and surviving rampancy, resulting in an AI who is said to be a true personality.

I thought that Halo wasn't linked to the Marathon universe, and if it is the marathon universe then what is the planet in the background at the end of Halo 3 and I thought that master chief was sent to a safe part of the universe outside the reach of the halo rings destruction which was the purpose of the ark in the first place, to save the human race from the flood. If Master Chief is going to be in the Marathon universe, then why is it in the Marathon game there is no mention of him, surely he would be an important character?

Bungie already said that Marathon and Halo are in different universes... But that's what I thought too.

if mastercheif had went into cryo sleep, cortana would of died if they were
floating for 200 years as an AI can only live for 7 years, thus explaining the
lack of cortana in marathon

What if the Master Chief and Cortana are still in slipspace, on halopedia there was information on a shield world in slipspace designed to protect the forerunners from the halos firing.

This is the article
Strangely, it seems that being in Slipspace leaves people unaffected by the Array. At least one large Shield World was encapsulated in a slipspace "bubble" out of the Halo Effect range to serve as a shelter, but was never used.

Mack was much older than that because he and the other AI with him swapped duties (correct me if I'm wrong, they were very vague about the AI in Contact Harvest).

I'm sure Cortana could do something similar.


Nice theory btw. I don't think it's true, but it's one of the better ideas out there.
