I am so sick of these Marathon Halo threads.

for the last time Bungie sayed that Halo ISN'T Marathon!


How many times have i said Bungie can lie. They would lie to keep the Marathon-Halo connections a secret.

That could be border line false advertisement. And besides, thier fan base would only increase by saying it is. They would of had to hide it from the start and taking a chance on a new game (Halo CE) and keeping a such a potentially important part of the story a secret that would bring them more money is not smart from a business standpoint and a potentially lethal one at that.

And yet we find you here... late at night, reading a topic about Halo theories when anyone who does have a life would spend it elsewhere.

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.


While I disagree with the OPs theory for reasons I stated on page 2, this part is actually fine I think. The notion of multipe universes has existed for some time. In fact, the general thought is that there are an infinite number of universes - realities with different sets of rules or set ups. Along this line of thoughts there have of course also been postulations about whether its possible to travel between them. It is often proposed that this is how causality is resolved if one is to time travel for instance (meaning that if you were to time travel, you would time travel to another universe thus not creating causality problems in the one you came from). Here try this:

Well Bungie could do what ever they want in there next game. Im sure there next game will have an interesting plot wether it connects with Marathon or not.

I'll support your theory with one fact. It was mathematically proven that there is the potential for at least 6 other dimensions to exsist. Although explaining this to a bunch of kids who are Halo fans would confuse the crap out of them and could, potentially be bad for business and a lot of people overlook that. What will make bungie the most money?

All this is, is sad wishful thinking. Bungie has already stated that there IS NO LINK between Halo and Marathon. Besides, slipspace portals don't send you to different universes. If you dare try and argue about slipspace portals then remember what I typed about what Bungie stated.

You’re technically real... I'm considered a myth…

Halospire: We will post your creation and give you credit.

What could be pluasable is that the ending has a easter egg in it... reference to the Marathon Series but truely is the ending.

I like it. Revisiting Marathon would be nice.

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

While it isn't quite yet substantial enough to say that yes, they are indeed in the Marathon universe, you've made it SIGNIFICANTLY more believable for me, personally. I was an avid follower of IRIS, and this is an amazing discovery (unless this has been in CI for awhile. I've been absent as of late).

I think that you're onto something, and that if we give it more time, we'll see how this all plays out. Very nice thoughts, man.

It's a game, and the devlopers (Bungie) can change any aspect they want, regardless of IRIS images, or whatever.

Suprisingly solid theory, though. And kudos on the photographic evidance to back it up.

I personally hope they don't send the Chief to the Marathon universe. Halo is Halo because it's in the Haloverse.

Who said it was slipspace. Theoretically space anomalies like Black holes can send people through time so saying this thing was a slipstream is a long guess. Also the ark, I believe, was in another universe, not a micro-dyson sphere (or whatever). His ideas are plausible and deserve alot of credit. Also that false advertisement input was kind of stupid. It might not have anything to do with the game marathon, but it could still be the same universe and the same planet.

United States Army Aircraft Electrician, proudly serving my whacked country.

OMFG...Ihavnt seen anywhere where someone said the chief was dead, especially considering the final cutscene shows him alive. That was a lame attack at no-body. Also, NO MARATHON. HOLY -blam!-. Let me debunk that -blam!- again with the same points ive always pointed out

End Of Halo:
Master Chief (a genetically enhanced soldier with insane tonnage armor) goes into cryo on the "FORWARD ONTO DAWN"
Marathon:
A super soldier wakes up on a ship called the "Marathon'

may be both super soldiers, but, they are on two different ships.

Characters also, the AI's in the games have DIFFERENT names..Halo's is Cortana, "Marathon's" are Leela, Durandal;, and Tycho.

You say marathon takes place by Mars (a red dirt ball planet). Halo 3's final cutscene shows the `Dawn floating towards a dark planet with a forerunner-ish lighting coming from the surface, with a blue-light immiting star. Our sun, doesnt emmit blue hued light.

Another point. The ship "Marathon" was built out of Mars' moon Deimos. The "Forward Onto Dawn" is a regular UNSC ship...

In marathon, the main government is the UESC: United Earth Space Council. Halo: UNSC: United Nations Space Command.

Marathon: sub light speed ships (slower than the speed of light), and no hyper-space/slipspace/etc. Halo: Slipspace (faster than light/hyperspace) traveling ships.

Marathon: No such thing as Halo's or the Forerunners, the slipspace portal on Earth, Onyx, etc.

Marathon: Humanity hadnt colonised as many planet or explored as much as the UNSC in Halo.


Lazyboy, the ark wasnt in another universe, it was outside out galaxy and only accesible through a strong enough slipspace bubble (Earth side slipspace generator for example.
