...Its well pieced... It of course isn't what happened. Remember that Chief always had someone watching over him, guiding him and was always Lucky. Cortana seen it, and you find out in the level "Halo" if you played on Legendary you read all about the Forerunner watching over him and making sure he was in the right place at the right time. He survived impossible odds and brought down the greatest threat to the Universe.

Also, Marathon takes place on a Hollowed out Moon near Mars and Earth. There is no Nebula that close to Mars or Earth and if you look very close at the object its clearly a Forerunner Structure. Remember... Master Chief has been guided everywhere... Always in the correct place. He's being lead home... where he honestly belongs because he is Forerunner... He doesn't belong to the UNSC.

Halo, Master Chief, Cortana will never be implemented into an older Space Scenario created by Bungie. It would be a drag to both games and create even more Questions than the Special cut scene at the end of Halo 3 on Legendary.

These two games will never collide, they are their own respectively and always will remain that way.

I like what you said above about downgrading the MC and Halo universe to an "older space scenario" a lot. I agree it would be a drag for us loyal MC/Halo fans. I'd rather know MC as the MC alone and not the hero of another cause.

As for the thread creator, I dislike that you are basing this on the thermal image and not the planet we see in the actual cutscene as many have mentioned before. I do like that you have found an extensive amount of evidence to prove the Halo-Marathon Theory.

I do have the basic belief that the Master Chief and Cortana have been taken somewhere far away. I think that as the portal collapsed, possibly a Forerunner fail-safe activated, maybe transporting the half MC and Cortana were in to a forerunner homeworld. They're obviously not in the same system as the Ark as some newbies have carelessly tried to argue. When the ring shook apart in the midst of firing, the firing's range may have (must have) been reduced or stopped but the explosion from the destruction of the new Halo along with the Ark's destruction would have killed the MC. I mean the portal was very close to the Ark right? A premature firing or partial firing or even debris would have killed MC I firmly believe. MC has to have been transported somewhere else. I personally debate as to whether the Forerunners would have had a fail-safe for objects/ships within a collapsing portal or if the sheer magnitude of the Ark shaking apart with the ring, and the collapsing portal, propelled MC and Cortana into an alternate dimension or even universe. But the latter would be a serious stretch.

I'm glad to see someone else being logical. This theory is very impressive, but very unlikely. I sure hope that 343 steers away from this idea as a base for "Halo 4" in fact I much rather leave Halo where its being left off. From what I've studied with Halo 3, and the happenings I wouldn't be surprised that MC survived the destruction of the Ark and the first Halo ring. The portal was very close to the Ark, but so was that small ship you sailed away in during the last moments of "Halo: Combat Evolved." I strongly believe that the portal has no real "LIMBO" area where there is space that has to be traveled in between both points. Also, its possible that the half that was left behind after the portal closed shut the blast propelled the stern of the ship to another distant portion of the Galaxy. I think for the sake of the story, when Cortana's last words where "...Its been a pleasure serving with you John..." and the Monument with 117 scratched into it (which when I first played through I cried... It was a beautiful way to end it) you had this sense of closure. Even that was against what Bungie had planned for Master Chief though... so the story ends...with him returning to how we first met him. Back to Cryo sleep... Its where he will be and is intended to be. Remember that the special cut scene was a bonus for completing Legendary, so it's only more of a Tease or a Easter egg than a HINT as to what happens next.

ok, courtesy of dictionary.com: what is a universe? "the totality of known or supposed objects and phenomena throughout space"
I'd liek to put an emphasis on the 'totality' part. that means, that when Bungie said the universes are separate, they meant that as far as Halo is concerned, Marathon doesnt exist. ever. period.

So, as well-put together as this theory is, it was false before it was conceived.

as for the whole teleportation thoery, let's use occam's razor-the simplest option is ususally the correct one.
slipstream travel, per the Haloverse does not involve time travel. Mars' moons were fine and well when we left them in the Halo story arc, so none of them has been turned into a massive ship and certainly, none of them have traveled beyond the rim of our own galaxy. so, that idea is out.

while i havent seen the theories on the portal to/from the Ark, we have to assume its semi-linear. based on what weve seen of the portal-it lead them straight to the Ark and it lead the Arbiter striaight back to Earth-we can assume, safely, that MC is somewhere between the Ark and our Galaxy.

But what is that damn thing in the leg ending?!
zomg. thats the point. bungie wants to keep their community alive and begging for answers from another game, so they leave things like this open. were not supposed to know. my guess is that they wanted some amazing theories of what happens to MC to come out as machinima or such stuff.

i know i brought this up in another topic but would you really want to see the halo story end? hell no. you like thinking and hoping in the back of your mind, just as much as i do, that theres gonna be some amazing and epic story to it all. to have someone-anyone-other than ourselves tell it would put to those dreams to death.

its not that i hate all theories but if yall are as intelligent as you come across, you know there's not enough evidence to fully support either side of the argument, and thats exactly what bungie wants-to extend the life of our passion for their games. all of these potential links to their other games entice gamers to go get those other games, furthering them towards their goal of world domination.

Halo: Reach From the beginning, you know the end.

Halopedia theorizes that Master Cheif and Cortana were heading toward the Forerunner homeplanet, which is impossible if it is within a 200,000 lightyear radius of the Ark, MC would have been killed by Installation 04B. I'm guessing the portal misfunctioned and warped them to another solar system.If you look closely at the strange planet, it is clearly mechanicle, you can see the Forerunner Symbol, the Marathon Symbol, and the 7th Collumn. But, nevertheless, he COULD have possibly entered the Marathon Universe. Following Cortana's statement "It will be a while before anyone finds us, years even." it will be over a course of 200 years. Since Marathon takes place during the 2700's. He could have possibly headed into the Flood's original Universe. If he did, he would have surely been killed and infected, knowing that he had limited ammo and was obviously outnumbered. 343 Industries [i] May [i] be continueing Halo. Possibly heading into the Future - 200-300 years later. During the Spartan 7 Era perhaps. With a new threat. Possibly the remaining Sangheli. Nobody knows for now. Possibly some new race that has NOT been revealed yet. We may encounter Forerunners and continue erasing the Flood from the Galaxy. Or considering the Flood residing on the remaining Halo rings, the remainder of the Sangheli and Humans could possibly be attacked by the Flood. For now, Master Cheif is MIA.

Interesting stand about "Halo 4" and I strongly disbelieve that many gamers want a "Halo 4" from anyone else. Bungie is finished with bringing Master Chief out and honestly its best to leave it where it lye. The entire reason for that Easter egg was just that... to Stir up the gamer... like one of those cliff hangers that leave you wanting more. It had no other point than that.

From what I understand... Humans and the "Elites" are now at peace with each other. Arbiter is their new Council. Also, Cortana was referring to the "Covenant" as the movement of alien races motivated by the Prophets towards a grand journey and enlightenment. So yes the Covenant are destroyed. The Grave Mind brought the entire Flood army with him to stop Master Chief and the Prophet from activating the Rings. The Grave Mind and his Army of Flood... Gone.

Even with the distress becon deployed the UNSC considers Master Chief K.I.A. in a huge fiery explosion. The only story that could possibly be of any interest in the Halo Universe is of course Arbiter and the turmoil of his home world. The war with Humans and the Covenant is over... The war at home... is still being waged... Brutes against Elites and of course new enemies to engage and new allies to fight along side.

I'm a huge fan of Bungie's work. I will not part take in begging them to drag everyone back together to make another Game.

So, in a nut shell... again... The last scene is just an EASTER EGG.

I don't know much about Bungie's games before the Halo series, but I see where you're coming from. This'll continue to be a mystery until they release the next game. I think Halo has some complicated storylines compared to other games, and with the theory being slightly complicated, I feel you are onto something. Bungie wanted us to make theories for ourselves, and then find out how plausible or inaccurate they are when we buy the game.

Master chief in the Marathon Universe will only appear in Fan Fiction. Bungie would not want to drag both of these games through mud just to make Easter eggs tie together.

If a majority of people actually believe this plausible then why doesn't the Fan's of this idea make up some stories as to how they connect. I don't think its a good plot at all... raises more questions and I wouldn't enjoy playing Master Chief as another Hero of another universe.

I can not see these two being the same thing, ever... It would be the worst mix ever.

Remember... Master Chief has been guided everywhere... Always in the correct place. He's being lead home... where he honestly belongs because he is Forerunner... He doesn't belong to the UNSC.

Halo, Master Chief, Cortana will never be implemented into an older Space Scenario created by Bungie. It would be a drag to both games and create even more Questions than the Special cut scene at the end of Halo 3 on Legendary.

Excellent point! I didn't once take into account the MC's escape from Installation 04, in Halo: Combat Evolved. The Longsword fighter he escaped from was in close proximity to the ring when it shook apart. The explosion simply caused some massive "turbulance" for lack of a better word, and the Chief was fine. So where I argued the MC's certain death, had he remained in the Ark's galactic system, isn't completely legitimate. I personally am leaning towards the idea that a partial firing did not occur at the end of Halo 3. I believe that Installation 04's destabilization and thus destruction ultimately haulted the firing. So...I haven't been open to thiss but the MC could be in the same system (at least) as the Ark. Perhaps the magnitude of the destruction sent his half of the frigate hurling into the abyss of space. The nebula at the end wasn't present anywhere in cutscenes or gameplay in Halo 3. He is very far from the Ark's former location without a doubt. We cannot assume anything with the portal though. I mean honestly, sure we saw the cutscenes, but how much time TRULY elapsed between the frigate's entry on Earth, and its exit into the Ark's system. It did seem fast, almost like a teleporter. Maybe this was on purpose, maybe even Bungie didn't consider the significance of this small yet crucial detail during the game's cutscenes' development, or maybe the time elapsed really holds no significance because Halo 4's future existance is entirely fictional. Nevertheless, for all of us fans, the make-up of that portal, how it functions, etc, would undoubtedly answer many questions.

My personal opinion is in accordance with Savoir Self to an extent. I think the legendary ending did hold more significance than an easter egg. I think it truly offerred total closure for us worried "mothers" of Master Chief. We know our "baby" has possibly reached some sort of sentient life by seeing the planet and is "gonna be ok" thankfully. We know our hero isn't destined to wander space for an eternity, never to be found, or at least we've been provided with quite a sizeable amount of hope. Ending with the idea that "yes, MC makes it to a sentient planet! He will be woken soon! He will find his way home (maybe)! He will live!" is an excellent way to put an end to the story of humanity's hero.

I cannot find Stormcrow IV's post that was quoted, but regardless, that logic is what we need! People need to understand that Mars was fine and that even with a 200-year time lapse, it would still be fine. Nowhere close to any nebula, its physical make-up the same...MC would HAVE to be in an alternate dimension or parallel universe to be in accordance with the Marathon universe. As far as I know, the ferocity of the Ark's destruction and the closing of the portal had no effect on our solar system as a whole. We can see that as things seem to be "fine" during the memorial service at Halo 3's close. A galactical warp or disturbance, that could have caused Mar's galactic orbit to change or even alter the physical make-up of our solar system to suit the Marathon version of our solar system surely would have haulted any memorial service on Earth. I don't know why I'm even arguing this. The fact is our Halo universe cannot and will not ever be the Marathon universe. Stop arguing what can happen in 200 years because it doesn't matter. This argument is is not plausible. Only the masterminds at Bungie could make it possible and it would be a stretch for them. This is such a huge stretch. Bungie throwing ideas of dimensional tears, parallel universes, and the threshold between universes being crossed is just so unrealistic I mean seriously guys. I don't think stating my opinion or arguing anymore will have any effect so I'll simply post again if I see something intelligible to commend or argue, or something illogical to point out and to publicly deface the poster hahaha. Peace.

If i had to guess i would say the Master Chief is on reach. crazy but if the ship drifted far enough it is possible. considering the fact that space lacks friction an object will maintain a constant speed in a constant direction unless it hits sumthing or sumthing like that. if the portal closing rapidly caused any kind of explosion, the ship accelerated rapidly and went flying and could have arrived at reach. i say reach because of the position of the sun, even though the color is off, and the lack of well anything on the actual planet.

It's fine if that's your personal opinion although the issue with that would be the fact that the planet shown in the cutscene is not glassed. It's obvious that whatever this planet is, the Covenant/Human War hasn't reached its surface. We have seen pictures of Reach already, in the first cutscene of Halo 2 as Thel 'Vadam speaks to the Prophets of his attempt to track the Pillar of Autumn, and in footage of Halo: Reach. This planet in no way resembles Reach. Take this image of the planet for example. The picture is of poor quality yes, but nevertheless it gets the point across. What we are seeing is a very advanced, possibly synthetic planet. The entire surface consists of what looks like the outside of a Halo ring, resembling Forerunner architecture. Start with the middle of the image and extend outward to the poles of the planet. We can see that there is no evidence of frozen polar regions, infact we really don't see any bodies of water whatsoever. The planet's surface appears to be entirely the same from pole to pole. The fact is this planet just is not Reach. Let me also add, there are no nebulous clouds in close proximity to Reach or its neighboring satellites. The Epsilon Eridani system contains about 6 habitable planets, a few other inhabitable ones, a large inner asteroid belt, and an outer icy belt according to Halopedia. No large nebulous clouds of any sort and the star we see in the ending seems to be larger and brighter than Epsilon Eridani, the system's star. Hope this clears some things up.
