You haven't played Marathon? Well now is the perfect time to start! Check out Aleph One and M1A1 (the two files you need to play the original Marathon on your PC or Mac OSX in this Undergound Sticky and at the Marathon Trilogy bungie.org site.

For all the info available on the connections of Marathon and Halo, check out the Marathon Connections page at HBO.

The names of the weapons, such as the shotgun, flamer (Halo PC), and Missile Launcher
(the wastem shotguns, toasty flamethrower, and ther spanker missile launcher. WSTE-M, TOZT, and SPNKR respectively)

The use of AIs, and general effects of rampancy, the plotlines are in many cases parallel.
the MC is a Mjolnir Armored Cyborg (Mark 5 and 6), in Marathon you're a Mjolnr Armored Cyborg (Mark 4).

Just to name a couple.
