Why Halo 3's Legendary Planet is NOT related to Marathon:
Many people seem to think that the events of Marathon tie in with the Halo timeline somehow. That John and Cortana are now in a different universe.
Not true...
The planet in question is thought to be Tau Ceti IV, here' the picture of Tau Ceti IV and there is NO resemblence what-so-ever!
Halo's universe and Marathon's universe contradict each other in many ways:
- The UESC Marathon left Sol in 2472 and arrived at Tau Ceti in 2773, but by 2552, in the Halo Universe, the UNSC already had a presence in the Tau Ceti system and a large number of other worlds, while in Marathon, it was the first planet to be colonized by Humans.
- Marathon's protagonist was in cryo for over 300 years and was born on Mars. John was born on Eridanus II and was born in the year 2511.
-The Pfhor in Marathon are said to be the first aliens ever encountered by Humanity. In the Halo universe it is the Covenant races.
In addition, Bungie have always said the two universes would never collide. So we're not gonna be seeing Marathon in Halo...Any time soon...
