The Marathon storyline is in no way connected to the Halo storyline. Marathon took place in the 26th Century. Halo also takes place in the 26th Century. There is no chance of the two being reconciled; in fact Bungie have specifically stated on several occasions that the stories are in no way linked.
yes they are connected? I think you got those numbers wrong... Halo is set in the Marathon/PiD universe...
Marathon 1 (and the Lost Network Packets storylines) and Pathways Into Darkness, and also part of Marathon 2 happen before the year 2472, so before Halo... then the most of Marathon 2 (and parts of M1) take place after the Halo section of the timeline in 2611+.
So the reason why the marathon logo is on the captain and the pillar of autumn, etc. makes perfect sense (the Marathon, the actual ship, would have been a huge part of human history and the militarty?)...
dunno about guilty spark though, that dosent seem to fit in that easily in the storyline, so THAT could be a tribute to Marathon...
