In Truth and Reconsiliation right after you've rescued Captain Keyes there is a little movie and if you look a little on Captain Keyes uniform you will se a little Marathon logo on his chest. Is this just some kind of easter egg ore what you wanna call it ore do Keyes have something to do with marathon...?

You can see all the "eggs" on the first level right after Keys gives you his pistol. Oh yea, look what's on the side of the Pillar of Autumn in the opening movie:)

Its on the side of the pillar of Autumn, inside keys's pipe and when you select the level difficulty.

Hmm, the entire patch (not just the maralogo( is the same as the Marathon trilogy box sticker.

Maybe so, but I hated the way he was always running into the line of fire... He was on the receiving end of the carnage more often than not
I guess that is why it was called "Shut up and get behind me.... Sir!"

[color=white]I know that tune!
For a while I just let him get in the way, then I finally got so fed up with his suicidal antics, I shot him myself (the Marines don't go crazy then, Cortana just says her "Without the Captain..." line and we start all over again). Then I learned of the trick to lead the crew back into the corridors, turn around and run past them, snipe the Camo Elites and get into the control room, but then just before the Grunts storm (do Grunts "storm?") the room, I get the crew back into the corridor and then pick off the Grunts at leisure, making the trip to the dropship easier.
How did you deal with it?

By the way, does anyone else find it odd that Cortana was going to interface with the dropship's controls to fly it and Keyes says "No need. I'll take this bird out myself."
Does someone here know of Keyes having some experience with Covenant dropships that would make this make sense?[/color]

Well that's quite odd... hmm... I just didn't think about it cause I took it for granted that Keyes could fly that thing... Maybe it's just a mistake. Maybe we'll know in Halo 2 ore maybe it says in the books...
