Subject: halo/marathon timeline, are they really different... well are they?

i see a lot of ppl posting their halo marathon theories all over the net and non believers say the same thing, different universe different timeline.

tho the first is argued that universe jumping is entirely possible due to marathon infinity and the fact that the character travels between universes (and time i believe tho i could be remembering that wrong)

now the timeline argument, well have you looked at the official timeline of marathon? (PiD is often included in the timeline as well) if you have looked you'll notice marathon takes place before, and after the halo games. look for yourself. there is an intensional gap in the time line (nothing happen seriously thats bungies story) now this gap in the timeline are the same years in which the halo story takes place.

im not saying that this proves the next game is definitely marathon im just saying ppl are arguing topics without doing the research. further more id like to add there are practically no marathon symbols in halo: reach. due to bungie separating from microsoft. why not keep the marathon symbol easter eggs just because the two companies are separate? halo belongs to microsoft and since then it would seem they are allowed continue story arcs from the halo universe but not really do much with master chief or im sure they would have in someway or announced his return may be on the horizon. yes u see him in reach but only in a cut scene n its just him frozen still.now this leads me to believe that perhaps there is more to this marathon john 117 connection. if im right and microsoft doesnt have the rights over john 117 (like bungie had a clause "halos urs but he belongs to marathon so hes ours." remember halo is a weapon just because john 117 is the original main character doesnt mean hes needed, reach and wars proves this.)this would further my reasons that marathon symbols are absent because john isnt the main character as well as bungie is possibly working on a new marathon game. why else all of a sudden stop the marathon references. idk add ur theories, if you can disprove what i said just please back it up with proof if you would. and dont say bungie says its not the same universe because i tackled that argument in the beginning of this.
