Subject: Just an observation on Halo: CEA

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

If you look at the Halo title's for the original Halo: Combat Envolved compared to the new Halo: Comabat Envolved Anniversary, you can see that, as you all know, The original has the Marathon symbol behind the word "Halo" where as the new Halo:CEA has somewhat of a symbol, but isnt the marathon and if it is, it dosent look much like it.

You do realize that Spark is a Marathon symbol?

BOB-B-Q!
If only they brought back Marathon and Pathways into Darkness...

I read about this, Microsoft does NOT own the rights to Marathon (THANK GOD) so they cannot use the symbol without permission from Bungie. This is also why there were very few obvious Marathon easter eggs/ connections in Halo:Reach. Microsoft was sort of hesisitant as was Bungie.

Spark himself isn't a marathon symbol, but his eye is.

Not necessarily. If you notice in Halo 2, Sparks didn't have the distinctive Marathon logo shape for his eye. The Marathon symbol can be taken out of his eye should 343i choose to. More so since they don't have the rights to use Marathon symbols for their new works.

Monitors themselves are shaped similarly to the Marathon symbol too.

Remember that Bungie has now trademarked the Marathon logo. This is likely because they don't want Microsoft/343i to use it, as it appears frequently in Bungie's Halo games. As in the example you gave here.

I know a bunch of articles believe that they recently trademarked it due to some intent to make a new Marathon game, but I think that this is the true cause.

True although I believe he still had the Marathon symbol in the blue part of his eye. Now what you said makes me wonder if there will be Marathon symbols in CEA?

It just wasn't there for Halo 2. It's hard to find a still pic, but it's easily seen with 2401. If you pause the vid at all the close ups you can see that Sparks indeed does not have the symbol for an eye. So should 343i be forced to do so it wouldn't be some unprecedented thing as its been done before.

Also there won't be any Marathon eggs in HCA. While Frankie did not specifically mention Marathon, he has already stated that the updated graphics version has taken out old easter eggs "out of respect for their owners". That said, it's easy to deduce he's referring to at least the Marathon references among other things. They'll still be there if you toggle back to original graphics though...Still, the lack of Marathon eggs in Reach (such as the patch on Keyes and the PoA) likely set up the stage for the lack of said eggs rolling into HCA to keep visuals relatively consistent.

Once again, it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving this ship, platoon, and engaging the Covenant on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, we will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right, Marines?

If you watch the videos released by 343i particularly the one about terminals which features the guilty spark in the video you can see they have already taken the Marathon logo out of his eye and replaced it with a similar ring with 2 lines coming off of it.
Video here :/

Bungie already started taking the Marathon logo out when the created Reach.
