I've played the Marathon games.

There is no Marathon forum here.

Therefore, the title belongs to Combat Evolved.

I believe the adjective "original" is referring to Halo. That is, it's reffering to Halo: Combat Evolved as the original Halo, not as the "original Bungie Classic."

Oh, and for discussions about Marathon and other pre-Halo games, the correct forum is the Bungie Universe Forum.

Why? Because if not, then you're superior to the person in question? (not trying to sound like a douche here)
Anyways, just read Coviekiller's post. Explains it pretty well.

Because it was the first Halo game, and it was a classic? Don't get me wrong, I love Marathon.

Marathon is too similar to DOOM for my tastes and HALO put Bungie on the map no other game in their portfolio has that title except every other HALO game they made ;)

well, according to the US council of automotive whatever, a motorcycle or automobile of at least twenty years of age is classic, thirty years is collectible.

don't see what that has to do with this...

Actually Bungie says themselves on the project page that the Marathon series put them on the map, and it was a pretty popular game in its time.

Well, that's because the Mac didn't really have a competitor to DOOM, which was for MS-DOS.

Halo is really the game that made them big, as in getting deals from Microsoft, being known as one of the world's est developers, and setting them up for success before Halo 2 came out with only hype.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I've played Marathon, but most people here will see Halo 1 as a classic, in fact it is a classic after 10 long years came and went. Therefore Halo 1 is "The Original Bungie Classic."
