Subject: Where in the world in Master Chief?. An extensive scientific theory.

It's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!

If violets are blue, then what colour is violet?

I understand where you're coming from, however, Chief believes he is the last of his kind. He would be lucky to be reunited with what amounts to his family. His brothers and sisters, his mother figure in Dr. Halsey and his lifelong teacher Chief Mendez. I think he would rather take the risks of dealing with countless new enemies to know and see that they are alive, than perhaps travel back to Earth to forever wonder where they are.

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.

Where did u get the IRIS photo?

I'm not too much into this, but I see a lot of people asking why Cortana isn't in Marathon if Halo and Marathon are the same. (which I don't think they are)

Here's your explanation besides "Well, Bungie hadn't thought of her or Halo yet, that's why."

In Fall of Reach, it says Cortana can only last nine years. It says it when Chief receives her and his new model armor (with the Covenant-based energy shields).

At the end of Halo 3, he goes into cryogenic sleep. Marathon and Halo are 200 years apart. He might wake up during Marathon, but Cortana will be gone. She can only stay for 9 years before she effectively dies.

That explains why Cortana isn't in Marathon, if they are indeed the same universe.

Which I doubt they are.

can't we just say that he is 'somewhere' and wait till bungie tells us his location.

then we can moan more about who was 'right', which i doubt anyone was, and who was wrong(everyone)

In the books it says that cortana will only live for 7 years. This is because she starts think so much she sort of overloads with information. So, if this theory is true cortana would be dead at the start of marathon. Which is why she isnt in it. :)

EDIT: ^ Guy 4 posts above me beat me to it.

Btw good job on the theory, this thread is saved.

You're right about the 7 year bit however Cortana also wonders in the books if she may have reduced her life span further by taking in so much information whilst in the first Halo.

This isn't scientifically accurate because you cannot move 150000 lightyears in 200 years. In fact. The only way this is possible is for him to go at around the speed of light, and in turn time would be dilated enough so that he could possibly get there around then. But then, how in hell would he slow down?

This all has to do with Slipstream Space and 'tearing' holes in normal three-dimensional space. The problem is whether or not he was in Slipspace or normal space.

  • 03.22.2008 6:55 AM PDT

You can't just be in Slipspace, and being in Slipspace would cuz everything outside to look all funky. He is in Normal Space unless something puts him in Slipspace, and his ship is in no condition to go into slipspace, with it being cut in half and all.

No offence but that messed up my brain in so many ways. How is John near mars in another universe it dosen't add up. I think he was neare the planet in the middle of the Ark which may be a Forrunner planet that mabey just mabey have surviving Forrunner or an even bigger chance a working Forrunner AI who is not a moniter but a Hologram of a Forruner goverment official. But thats just my theroy.

i also dont think connecting halo and marathon would be all that creative and would not make them as much money as halo 4

also i think (may be wrong) halo tech is a lot more advanced than Marathon tech and elites and brutes are more powerful than marathon bad guys and marathon is far to similar to halo to be in the same universe the enemies are all practically the same with different names and they have things like elites and halo they are at peace with the elites almost more of a remake
i dont know if this makes sence but it does to me so if not ignore it

IRIS was something used to promote Halo 3. I'm not ganna go into too much detail, but some guy showed up and posted some weird message (which was in gold font that only Bungie empoyees have, and he had just joined so that was a mystery). From there everything went crazy. Go to www.halo.wikia.com and search IRIS and it will give you all the info you need.

Well, actually, she doesn't die, but instead goes rampant. Leela?

lord loss sows the sorrows of the world

ok i really like your theory it really seems plausible but bungie has already said halo is not related to marathon and i think we can get some answers from halo chronicles but other than that the halo universe is over for now after getting done with maps bungie is probably gonna start new games i even have videos saying if they touch the halo story again it will be in a different way
