Sick idea


Posted by: phearmaker
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
Is
Not
A
Time
Travel
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.

I can totally see it being mars
ADDED NOTE: in the desciption of the sercurity helmet it's said thats the helmet design originated with space experimenting on mars!
Amazing deduction!! Good work :D

A good idea, but mabye your time would b better used thinking up a solution to worldwide starvation, war, and diarrhea. u seem 2 b a smart person; use your brain 4 the good of mankind.
p.s. although i criticise the use of your time, i really do find this theory intriguing. I hope to see more thoughtful ideas on this forum.

  • 06.17.2009 9:32 PM PDT

Dr. Gelato, MD.

With this theory, maybe we should approach the series now like this:

Maybe Halo is what started the events in Marathon. Since the Chief is now in the Marathon universe, but yet 200 years before everything happens, maybe he's the catalyst that gets the ball rolling.

Bla, Bungie has to do one thing. Make a Halo Movie with Master Chief, at the end, something terrible happens like Cortana is killed (destroyed) and his voice is like normal then when he hears of it, his voice cracks and trails off, he goes into a rampage, nearly gets himself killed, and his head peice falls off and you see his face in the sunset with 1000 dead bodies around him with banshee and wraith wrecks everywhere and he says one word like "far k" (add together) and all watchers will cry (INCLUDING ME!) And then Bungie will be trillionaires!

  • 06.18.2009 6:00 PM PDT

not possibly, for 1 reason and one 1 reason only= in halo aliens were encountered but in marathon, several hundred years later, they said those aliens were the first EVER encountered so, clearly, different universes, and if chief didnt go through a portal, how could he be in marathon? halo doesnt = marathon

I can haz ur mumz

Why do you people even take the time for this crap. Who cares where chief is at, who cares what happened to arbiter, who cares about the ending. We're all going to know when a next halo game involving MC will come out. Bungie will surely not stop making games. Remember they're aiming for world domination, they will surely not get to it with only 10 games. Trust me they're halfway there and will continue making games after ODST and halo reach. So all of you can do is just WAIT with patience and the answer to these so called theories would come to you.

Who burnt the bacon?

Well since Marathon and Halo's storylines are not interconnected, it is unlikely. Bungie themselves said that the plots are not connected. Great theory nonetheless.

Personally, i get tired of all these Marathon Theories. You'll be able to find out once Bungie has announced it. Thats when it becomes a fact. Its probably nothing accept some random planet. But who knows, in a couple of years. Bungie might release the secret or not.

the planet in the end is another FORERUNNER installation. forerunner = halo. no marathon. srry.

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

sorry but the planet at the end of the cutscene was forerunner. it might not be onyx but it could still be another random shield installation. this is all the proof you need

also the portal: let me explain, the arbiter was on the half that was above earth. when the portal closes his half is still above earth. the portal vanishes while the chief is still on the arks side of the portal. there. master chief was on the ark side.

also when master chief in the ledgendary ending asks "what happened" cortana said that they almost made it through the portal and the explosion destroyed halo and "did a number on the ark" she couldnt have known this if they where in another place.

also the "comm box" that was floating next to master chief lookes nothing like the one with the marathon helmet.

also that might not be a nebula in the background. it might be a cloud of whatever the portal was made of floating around after the portal colapsed.

Just kidding. <3 You probably make their day with this stuff.

Beautiful theory, it is indeed possible, quite plausible.

This is the best Legendary Ending Theory I've seen.

Good theory. Just one thing... You have WAY too much time on your hands. How long did it take for you to come up with that? Dont get me wrong, I'm not insulting you, but you thought about this WAY too much.

It cant be, as you say, "a cloud of whatever the portal was made of". portals arnt made of anything. They are empty holes in time and space. Just wanted to clear that up. For some reason, I hate it when other people get something wrong about facts nobody knows.

  • 06.23.2009 11:50 AM PDT

that might be true but we only got view of the FRONT of the ark. for all we know the nebula could be in front of the ark.

since we never get an all around view of the ark the nebula could have been that close to the ark.

also i just found this. what is that that i see behind the ark.
