Subject: End of Marathon easter eggs in the new Halo Trilogy?

Halo 4 is being owned developed by MS and 343. Marathon is owned by Bungie. Does that mean an end to easter eggs in the franchise?

That would be the logical conclusion and I assume this is the case.

Marathon Easter Eggs ceased to exist with Halo: Reach, so it's quite safe to say that they won't be present in the newer Halos either.

Heck, with the exception of the classic Halo: CE look, I wouldn't be surprised if the updated graphic version of Halo CEA took out any Marathon references too since Bungie didn't have a hand in that project.

Signatures are for squares.

343's eye will likely continue to be a marathon symbol. Other than that though...I don't see there being many more references. There was literally NONE in Halo Reach. They didn't even let Keyes keep his marathon patch...

Most likely, no.

Doubt it. They could make his eye bright enough that any semblance of geometry for the eye is non-existent much like how it was in Halo 2

It also seems more likely than ever that 343i may indeed remove most if not all Marathon related eggs as well as a recent interview Frankie did with HBO seems to suggest it.

Yeah, but all you would have to do is press the Back button to see them anyway.

How about you take a gander at Keyes' medals...

WTF! Went to find a picture and they did take off his marathon symbol!
