Hi! I am a big fan of the halo series. My favorite one is probably halo3, ODST was cool, but finding out at the last cutscene in the game (the thing after the credits)was awesome. I still can't beileive that master cheif is still alive. I think Bungie left us hanging at the end of Halo3. (Just so you know that im a HUGE fan of video games, they're not my life or anything, but I like them alot.

I DEFINENTELY think that's true!

People who don't fear death haven't experienced it for themselves.

1. The UNSC delete AI's after seven years for fear of rampancy, you people really need to stop paraphrasing that passage from fall of reach. Forerunner constructs could live for Eons, so that supports the fact that AI's aren't limited.

Oh yeah. Forgot that. But if it is 200 years in the future (which might not be) than we wouldn't really know the state of Cortana. But yes, this planet looks like a Forerunner planet. And if you look closely, you can see a huge 7th column, and the symbol behind the Ghosts of Onyx Logo.

this is the greatest theory of halo ever i don't care what anyone says this is right bc it all adds up.

Subject: I have 100% Proof of where master chief is.

but you fail to realize that in alternate dimensions and universes, space and time can bend so that two events in two different places can end at the same place and time, thanks to the crystal left behind by the forerunners. as the third halo novel explained when spartan 117 went with keyes and cortana to halo, the rest of his team stayed on reach to keep the orbital gun generators defended. even though they failed, they were only on reach for a few days before it was glassed, while the master chief was on halo for about two weeks, including traveling time. but space and time were warped the two time lines together so that the master chief made it back to reach in time to get his team off the planet right before it was destroyed. so theres no rule that says it cant apply to this marathon=halo theory

Anyway, your theory is cool but I'd rather believe something else. I still am pissed that Bungie left us hanging by having the Chief not die. The story would seem more complete and finished if he had just died in the explosion.


the FIRST mystery of a SPARTAN II explains why it ended that way... since the UNSC decided to go public with the SPARTAN II project to boost morale amongst the ranks, any Spartans killed in action were listed as MIA, to give the illusion that Spartans never die.

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

Bungie stated that they will not be continuing the series after Halo: Reach launches. I cant seem to find the link for the video but trust me, its out there somewhere :P.


first of all, bungie are the production team/writers of the halo series, but microsoft owns the rights to halo, so no matter what bungie says, its ultimately up to microsoft. even if bungie says no more halo games, microsoft could easily pick up another writing team and producers and just keep on running with it (or run it into the ground...)

and second, theres no rules that say bungie has to do anything more with either halo or marathon. for all we know they could start a whole new project after reach is done. and i for one am all for a new game. they blew me away with the universe that halo has evolved into, id like to see what more these people are capable of :)

um i want to object to this and all but since i just read this and therefore have no proof YET, i still wana place my theory. to me, none of that crap makes sense. that dosnt mean that is what the creators wanted to make it seem like that happened. its probably a coincidence. just because you see the security armor com piece floating dosnt mean jack. personally, i think that the whole end bit was just that he was sent to another side of teh same galaxy and neither he nor cortana know it yet.

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.

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.

Halo and Marathon are 2 different game universe, Bungie has said they'll never collide. Therefore, no matter how much things "add up" to you, it's wrong, because 343 are making a Halo 4 and you can bet Marathon will not be a part of it.

  • 07.02.2010 10:33 AM PDT

These shades are only meant to keep the blood out of my eyes...

lolz, here's my theory... don't know if it has been posted yet because I didn't take the time to read through 250+ pages. My theory for the storyline of a new game, continuing the Halo saga, which may or may not be something that will happen soon, will have Master Chief landing on that planet that looks like a Forerunner made planet. Whether or not some Forerunner may still be living on that planet is debatable. For one, if I was a Forerunner leaving lotz and lotz of info behind saying they are committing suicide, I would have a backup plan for when the flood return. So, before they initiated the Halo rings, the ones that could migrated to the other side of the galaxy or beyond. They had a planet made there or something along those lines, kinda like the Ark. So, I believe that is what we see at the end of Halo 3, the beginning of a new game. Who knows, Bungie may not want to continue the series right now. They may wait a few years to build up suspense. I don't believe they would end it right there, the story seems like it has just begun. We'll see more in time. Be patient and play more Halo.

  • 07.02.2010 7:43 PM PDT

good theory, but how would it be possible for Master Chief to survive, especially in space, with no food or water, plus by the time Marathon takes place, he would have died of age, if not by starvation or dehydration.

Subject: Where in the world is Master Chief? An Extensive Scientific Theory.

When the portal closed the Master Chiefs side of the ship hadn't made it in the portal yet. Thus the ship being cut in half.

He was NOT BROUGT TO ANOTHER UNIVERCE.

The only therory that works that I have heard is that the Master Chief is going towards Onyx where other lost spartans are.

  • 07.03.2010 8:55 AM PDT

37!?

this actually does sound like something bungie would do...i havent played marathon since 7th grade but i remember the story and it does sorta link with the end of halo...besides...why would bungie put that kinda music at the end if it didnt mean something huh?

nice theory, i think its true.

*applause*

and a side note directed at electrashock,
lets say master chief "IS" going towards the lost spartans on onyx, why would bungie make a 4th title to continue the halo story when...THE WAR IS OVER. even if the master chief did find other spartans, it wouldnt be fun because there isnt a war anymore and all the flood are dead.

Simply put...and 100% correct.
Of course they put refrences into the game, of course they put that easter egg in the game... but ONLY if you play Legendary... Even in those strange things I think called "IRIS" you read about Johns past and some more Easter eggs...

I'm speculating that the Bungie Team wanted John Rancher to finally come home. Remember that he is the Son of Forerunner and he was watched over by a being of the Forerunner. Thus why he was lucky...

And the Portal doesn't have multiple outlets from what I understand its only 1 way both ways. The portal collapsed which is why the Ship was cut in half and was already in Earths Orbit where the Portal was first opened. Spartan 117, John Rancher, Master cheifs ending was a huge tease, but this isn't the first time a Cliff hanger has been a huge part of a popular production or having references to other work of the past.
Its like candy for us nerds and gamers who see this and wet ourselves thinking about what it could mean and how cool it was that they made a reference.

Honestly, I applaude you on putting this together, but John's mission is complete... he was not compeled across the universe by the UNSC's mission... but his creator... the one that wanted to Attone for his betrayal. AFTER the Flood is destoried John is compeled without knowing it, back to where he belongs. His luck doesn't run out with the Portal Collapsing either...again he is being moved by an invisible hand to where he needs to be... Just like in the Introduction Cinema. Also, that structure was Forerunner... looked just like the outside of any of the Halo Rings.

This is a brilliant ending... If anyone knows what im talking about or understands what Bungie was trying to acheive with this easter egg then please quote and or edit what I have established.

Got to say that you nailed that theory and I agree with you. Hopefully Bungie doesn't change the story now that you found it out, but I got to say two thumbs up

lol he was put in cryo, he'll be alright for a while. If this does blend Marathon, maybe the forerunner are the aliens mentioned in Marathon???? O_o idk
