A really nice theroy, but I have some questions and some critisim(sp?). First, I will be a critic. I know and I can see that you have lots of supporting evidence, of something else though. It sounds like your trying to say that Marathon and Halo are related and stuff(I dont wanna re-say the whole thing), but use stuff about mars. How does Mars work into this story? Could you explain how it does, if it does? I really want to believe your theroy, but I want too see more evidence, as do many of the other people. I just will say it in a formal and nice way, which you deserve. All I want is some clairification and evidence.

Did you ever think that the Halo universe and Marathon Universe are the same? I ask this becasue it never really says or shows in Halo 3 that they are in another universe. When watching the Cartographer cutscene with Spark and Chief, you see that they were at the edge of the galaxy and on the Ark. So, they haven't traveled to another universe going the Portal initially. I can support this with saying the Forerunners had only covered the extent of their galaxy, not a universe. In a Server vid, not sure witch one, they talk about the flood being extra-galactic, being from another galaxy. If the Forerunners had covered the universe, they would have come by this galaxy before the Flood found them. I want to go back and look for a quote from the books, but I'm too damn lazy and will another time.

How do we still know they are on the edge of the Galaxy, durring the cutscene we see debris from the destroyed Ark and Halo. Unless that escaped into another universe too, they must be close or remain where they are at. And, even though the portal was an alternate dimension, it couldn't have lead anywhere else besides that galaxy because of the made-up Slip-Space laws.

I disagree with the original poster. I don't even think the Leg. Ending was cannon at all.

It could be one of two things, in my opinion:

1) a very clever reference to Marathon, but since I know nothing about Marathon and don't wish to trust anyone else but myself on the storyline of Bungie games, I cannot be sure, and this is the less favored of the two.

2) My theory derived entirely originally. The ending is like the H1 Legendary Ending, not cannon at all, but an extra, a nod back to the crazies like me who get this kind of stuff. According to this, It is a loop back to the begininng of Halo 3. To add evidence to this viewpoint, I call upon the fact that you do not know what the M.C. was on before he crashed in the jungle of Sierra 117 (whatever it may be), the fact that when you finish the game, you are returned to the Campaign Lobby at Arrival, and various other things evidenced in the thread here.

What do you guys think of this way of looking at it? When I posted it earlier, I just got a bunch of people who didn't get it. AT ALL.

i do agree with one thing there will be another story arc with the master chief but it will not be on the marathon universe the reason he is flying in space is because the portal was cut off which means that he could have been place anywhere in the universe between the arc and earth but not in another universe and bungie is very tricky and put a ton of easter eggs in their games and i cant wait till the bungie vs google war for world domination earth will be a much happier place

that makes alot of sense and im new here, in fact tomorrow i get all the books of halo so im gonna find out myself, but this makes sense and i would like to add this:-

The Terminals on halo 3 i heard are linked with the Marathon Series, now why put Terminals on Halo 3 and not any other halo? Isn't this kinda like bungie trying to say, this is our clue to where this is going, plus isn't there creatures listening whenever you access a terminal!

If theres a site where someone has all the info that was on the terminals im sure it will have some clues there too. Hope this raises anything, like i said im new so im not expecting this to be any better than what anyone else has put1

k that was a great theory, probably one of the best ive heard so far except for the fact that when we see the cheif after the portals collapse, cortana says that she doesnt know where they are and that its going to take years for someone to find them. if its mars (which is relatively close to earth) cortana would:
A. know where they are
B. Possibly bring the half ship there (I doubt it)
and lastly the signal she sent out would not take all that long to reach earth.

I'm sure your right, but I don't agree with your reasons. I think MC just drifts into space for about 200 years, possibly killing Cortana (she has a 7 year life span being an advanced type of AI with a core of Dr.Hasley's brain cells), until he is picked up by a Marathon class UNSC ship.

People's words can only effect you if you let them do so.

Aw common guys, it's not to complicated where Chief is. I figured it out right away. He is on a Shield Planet which most likely has Forerunners still living there. The planets are in their own little pocket dementions to protect them from the halo basts and when the portal collapsed the chief was sent to one. Because he is LUCKY as hell. Wiki it.

By your theory, he could just as well be in the Star Wars universe and that's the Death Star. He's going to play Chess with Vader!

The question: Why is the halo 3 forum more retarded than the flood?
Posted by: supercommiefu
Because in the Flood, people pretend to be stupid for laughs. People in this forum aren't pretending.

what if MC did end up in the marathon universe, but after the last marathon games ends. That would allow the next game to function without conflicts from previous games. It is a possibility.

“The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse” - Carlos Casteneda

I was actually thinking that MC was drifting to the black planet onyx where 3 other Spartans still remain. Or perhaps this new planet they drift to is a whole new planet and a whole new game series will come out that has something to do with halo but not marathon. Anything is possible.

New idea: Spartan 117 was sent to the Flood's galaxy of origin. Like you said, the planet resemble that in the one "Infestation". The ARG told us that the Flood were extra-glactic in origin. (Extra-galactic!) Also, since the ARG "Iris" did not provide virtually any information about Halo 3, it had to provide it to something else; it was leading up to the end cinematic.

The better storyline would be that Spartan 117 was sent to a shield world where some Forerunners still remained. Unreasonable, but dramatic.

And, of course, the even better storyline would be the connection of Halo and Marathon.
