Howdy,

As a fan of both the Marathon tirlogy and Halo 1 and 2, I was wondering if anyone is knows anything about the relationship between these universes? I'm assuming there must be because of the presence of the Marathon logo in both Halo games (the circle within a circle, connected by a line). Is anyone out there aware of any official connection bewteen the two? Thanks.

Ach! Was ist los?

Bungie has stated that Halo and Marathon take place in seperate unvierses.

--Sgt. Smith notes that they haven't ruled out parallel universes or alternate timelines.

Mararathon and Halo are connected in many ways, but their universes are not.

They may be in different universes, but there are a lot of similarities. MJOLNIR, for instance.

I'm going to try and avoid this topic because I could type for days. There are connections to Marathon and Halo and Myth, but they're all metaphorical/symbolic, or pure speculation. This means you can connect the stories if you want to, whether Bungie does it or not. Its a really cool way of developing stories because you get exactly how much you want out of it.

Thanks. I wasn't really too concerned with responses from the masses, I was just hoping for an answer from a Bungie-pro. Homage is good.
