Hey guys, I have a quick, and probably really stupid question about Marathon


Before you flame, I've been a fan of Halo for some time now, but I have never really been into the story until recently, I've read all the novels and really enjoy them. And I've come to these boards recently to find out more info. My question is what exactly is Marathon? I've heard it mention numerous times but never asked. From what I understand it's some more backstory to Halo, could someone fill me in please? Be gentle...I don't burn well.

An old Bungie game, a FPS which ties to the story of Halo

Here's a couple sites that can help you with that question.
http://halo.bungie.org/story
http://marathon.bungie.org
Bungie has said that Marathon and Halo are two completely different
stories, but I think you should make that call after a little reading.
I don't think the connection will be in the game, but Bungie often gives
little hints that can be connected to Marathon.
I started a thread about a Marathon connection with ilovebees.com
here.
