Exuberance!

They practically say that at after the credits, "We made it through...well, some of us did..."

I don't know about the whole Marathon part, but it would still be pretty cool non the less.

Here are my reasons why Halo is not connected to Marathon at all:
1) To me it would seem illogical to connect both universes because many of the fans not familiar with Marathon (like myself) would have to spend hours looking up the back story online, or buying all the games and getting to know the story.
2) I doubt that Bungie would pull the whole alternate reality thing if thats what was happening in Marathon: Infitiy (i think?) because people are always trying to make connections between halo and marathon and they usually are wrong, like people trying to guess the end of halo 3.
3) you didn't offer any proof that the "planet" seen in the end of halo 3 legendary is Mars, and if it was Mars answer me this...why is Master Chief still out of the galaxy because you can clearly see our galaxy in space just like you could when you arrived at the ark. last i checked Mars was in OUR galaxy and it wouldnt just change galaxies in the marathon universe
4) say chief really IS in the marathon universe. he just says, "let me trade in my badass suit that is the best protection available for something far less protective when i am a fighting machine!" i highly doubt he would just do that

"But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Your to manipulate, destroy and rebuild. Now, in the quantum moment before closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny."

Good job. I support this fully.

I hope you're right, too.

I never played though the Marathon games, but was Cortana in Marathon, if not how would you explain her absents in the game; as she survived Halo 3.

Actually no you don't. If it was 100% Bungie would CONFIRM IT!!!! Plus they have confirmed they are making another game to the Halo series which isn't Halo Wars, look on this [url]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_Halo_Project[url ] So infact Marathon and Halo are completely different. Also has anyone else realized this.......... It could be the forerunner homeworld.

The Ark right????? Everyone has heard the story of Noah's Ark which was used to save the human race from extinction. It is possible the the Forerunners built the "ark' to save the last of their race from the Flood infestations. They used the Ark to save their home planet and their race. This seems more believable and is more out of the box thinking. Just ponder on that thought for awhile....... Noah's Ark........ The Forerunner's Ark it just makes sence.


Ohhh yea and by the way how many times has Bungie said the Halo universe and Marathon universe have NOTHING to do witch each other. They have also said that the guy from Marathon is not MC.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES HAD BUNGIE SAID THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE JUST SIMILARITIES
I'm sorry, but I don't believe retards or "rabits", so you're flat out of luck... :\

No, but there was an AI named Durandal. Weird thing is, is that those names are connected outside of the game. Read the whole thing

A theory can never truly be proven.

This isn't 100% sure until confirmed by a Bungie employee.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

For whomever said that there were more well-thought out theories with more substantial proof, could you please provide some links? The only theory that has provided any substantial evidence on what the planet might be, is this one. It has solid evidence from IRIS that relate to the final cutscene, and obvious ties to Mars. Whether it is meant to be tied to Marathon or not is left to be speculated, but it wouldn't be out of the norm if it were true.

Other theories, however, instead of providing solid evidence that speaks and leads its own way for itself, require the OP to make constant speculation on what certain things might mean, and why they might be significant.

This is the only theory of them all that has any actual lead, and so, sorry, but no other theory currently comes close. As little as I know about Marathon, even I know how to use deductive reasoning. Especially when facts are laid out in front of you.

some of you say that the dates don't match up between halo and Marathon but if this theory is correct maybe the game Bungie is planing with MC and Cortana is a prequel to the Marathon games? I mean that would cover Bungie for a while game wise (Marathon prequel than Marathon remake) and could explain why Cortana is not in the old Marathon games

i like what you say here. that makes a lot of sense esp with the original post. and personally i think that would be one bad ass continuation cuz i love MC and i think they could easily make the transition into marathon from halo 3. but u never know, bungie may just be hinting at a marathon remake which is the most logical answer to all this stuff

you just gave half of the ending away to those who cant complete the campaign. oh the portal collapsed meaning mc and cortana stay on that side not in another universe.

This is actually a good theory with good evidence to prove it with. I thought of the same thing before but i never thought of it this way, good job.
