i think that halo 2 is built on an old project... may be 1993... i think halo it's not only the evolution of marathon but it's a story's jump throught the years... i finished marathon 2 durandal... it was great... may be you could find the answer to know who forerunners are...

They started working on Halo in 1997. It started as a RTS. Then in 1998 it became a 3rd person shooter. Then in 2000 it became a FPS. It was originallly for the PC

you mean think different?

No, actually Halo was originally for Mac/PC as a cross-platform game, like the Myth games. It was just unveiled at Macworld New York 1999, but PC development was actually further along than Mac development of Halo at that stage.

And no, Halo 2 was not started in 1993. Bungie released Pathways into Darkness in 1993, and began work on Marathon. Although the games may all be related, they are not the same by any stretch of the imagination.

i think marathon and halo are the same game... too many graphycs relations... as in the aliens military colour power gerarchy similiar to elites one... hunters are the evolution of the aliens who fire fast green bolts from the left shoulder... or right... and may be MasterChief have the body of the main character in marathon and in marathon 2... chief like a present for humans from forerunners...

ok rosario there are alot of problems with your hypothisis about marathon and halo being the same game.

1. were fighting the phfor not the covenant (why would we call them diferent names all of a sudden)
2. none of the phfor look anything like any of the covenant (maybe a little but not vary much)

found these in the Q&A for marathon
3.
Q

Is Marathon the prequel to Halo?

A

No, Marathon is a separate story, with wholly different characters, story and gameplay.

4. Q

Are the Pfhor related to The Covenant?

A

No, although they do share some traits –such as enslaving client races, they are entirely separate and each exists in a different "universe."
