Pie is awesome. You are not. Bow down to pie and bask in its glory.

This is how the legendary ending goes: Cortana tells chief they are drifting. He goes sleepy sleep. Screen go black, then the debris nears the Forunner planet. she doesnt "wake him up"

Has anyone seen the screenshots of Oni, one of Bungie's older games? The Marathon symbol is present in that game too. Heres one of the pictures, look at the object in the bottom left corner.
http://www.bungie.net/projects/oni/asset_popup_viewer.aspx?at =59&cc=32&item=7

I've never actually played that game, but I don't think it has anything to do with Marathon, does it? And if it doesn't, then why is it so special that Bungie put Marathon symbols in Halo?

I don't really like to believe the Marathon theory for a few reasons. For one, and I hope someone pointed this out earlier in here. The star seen in the legendary cutscene is blue. Our sun is yellow. So if Bungie knows anything about astronomy, they would have made the star yellow is they intended that planet to be Mars. Chief is in a galaxy somewhere though. I say that because at the beginning of the normal ending, you see a nebula behind the ship. Nebulas don't exist outside galaxies. Nebulas are remnants of stars. There are no stars floating randomly between galaxies. And since the ark was outside the galaxy, you have to assume he is back in either our galaxy, or some other galaxy.

I have my own theory that I believe fits better into the storyline, and is taken from clues from the terminals. I wrote this theory in a forum somewhere else and people think it makes alot of sense. If you read all of the terminals on legendary, Mendicant Bias, the ancient Forerunner AI that went all Benedict Arnold on the Forerunners. He says he wants you to go to his makers and tell them he has changed, and is sorry for turning on them, something along those lines. here is the actual message:

"You don't know the contortions I had to go through to follow you here, Reclaimer. I know what you're here for. What position do I take? Will I follow the betrayal with another?

You're going to say I'm making a habit of turning on my masters. But the one that destroyed me long ago, in the upper atmosphere of a world far distant from here, was an implement far cruder then I. My weakness was capacity - unintentional though it was! - to choose the Flood. A mistake my makers would not soon forgive.

But I want something far different from you, Reclaimer.

Atonement.

And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions.

But I would have my masters know that I have changed.

And you shall be my example. "


From reading this you could say that Mendicant altered the portal as the chief went through it, sending him to Mendicant's makers, and that is where you see him on the legendary ending. Of course this is just speculation. Ive heard many theories and this is the only one that makes the most sense in the story. Alot of this information was found on Halopedia. I realize alot of the information on there isnt accurate, but you can always tell a good page from a bad one.


also the door button and the pod next to it (in picture 1 under link above) look like the pods and door buttons on halo

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

You know, I would have believed you, up until the point where you started yelling at me.

PLEASE don't message me saying "can i haz + 18?"... I don't even read those messages. My work is art and if you don't like it, fine with me! Don't make it perverted, it's not Pr0n, it is what it is...

What makes ANYONE think that the portal lead to a new dimension/ time? For all we know it just lead to an unreachable zone of space where no humans had ever gone! The MC is most likely floating around in the SAME DIMENSION and TIME as the rest of earth and the covenant. Sure the portal cut off the master chief from the Arbiter, but the basis for this theory is that when it cut MC & cortana off, they were somehow sent into a new dimension! WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?

Just take the story @ face value...

nice try, but you are wrong.


Why is he wrong? I agreed with everything that he said. I say that it was a perfect theory WITH proof. Nice job on the thread.

Oh yeah P.S.: Mars, had to see if it would put it in bold.

P.S. again: dang didn't work.

Ok so there are a few things wrong with this.

First, Marathon took place in 2794, halo takes place in the year 2552. Now you can SAY that the rift could make the ship change dimensions or time periods, though I highly doubt that since no proof of your own theory is provided.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Marathon_%28video_game_series%29 all information will be derived from this source.

Secondly, Marathon was set aboard the UESC Marathon. The Foward Unto Dawn was the ship the cheif was on, now the aft section of the ship (which is what the cheif is on) could have renamed itself (or maybe the rift did that to), but I doubt the rift could change the government control of the ship. The FUD wouldn't just say "Hey I just went through a temporal rift.....lets change it from UNSC to UESC."

Lastly, their were three A.I.'s on the marathon, none of them cortana, one kind of like cortana. Though Leela does sound like cortana, but she is cold and doesn't care about the player, where as Cortana cares about the cheif and is quite a warm person.

So please insult this post all you want.

Yes! Especially the part about the portal having NOTHING to do with different dimensions or times! That fact alone disproves the theory entirely...

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

It's potato time!!

I am a former bungie writer but i was fired.My team was in charge of the next halo campaign game. Yes, the cheif is in another universe but NOT the marathon universe it is an entirely new universe it is the hologram universe (halo hologram get it?). Hologram is a new game where you are the master cheif and you are trying to get back to your own universe. The covenant aliens are still there in a way one brute managed to get onto the master cheifs ship in the end of halo 3 and mutated during the change so it is now this ghost-like floating blob that lands on you and devours you if you dont shoot it off. There are also completely new enemies which are called gorts they really just sneak up on you and try to eat youbut if you find one with a gun your in trouble. I had the concept art but it was taken from me when i was fired. The game is set to launch 06-17-09.

Edit: Please disregard this post, I was 11 when i made it I hope you can forgive me for this. I have never been a former bungie employee.

Wow... what an idiot. Seriously, even if what you are saying IS true, there is absolutely no reason to believe you actually were a former writer! Cut the crap.


And by the way, it's not true. That's honestly the worst attempt at acting like you know something about anything I've ever seen!

Yeah, and I'm sure you'll be here to take the insults when June / 17/ 09 comes around and "hologram" turns out to be a bunch of crap!

I'm willing to bet almost anything that this game will NEVER come out or even be heard of. I've been around a while and heard a lot of stuff from people who think they know what they are talking about, you're just another "Halo 3 doesnnnnt exest, itz gona bee forerunnor!!!!"
