I.W.H.B.Y.D.B.T.D.B.M.O.T.F.
That man above me was very rude. They are connected but probably not how you're thinking. They aren't cannon (not in the same universe) but have a lot of similarities like Hunters are in both, In Marathon Leela mentions Mark IV soldiers MC has Mark V armor. AI's go rampant in both. The Marathon logo is seen in a lot of locations including the Halo Logo, 343's eye (not in anniversary edition), the side of the Pillar of Autumn, and CPT Keye's chest. Also the rocket launches are almost the same. the Security Armor variant from Halo 3 and Reach are from Marathon's Security Officer. Both protagonists MC and The Security Officer wear MJOLNIR armor. The assault rifles... MA5B Assault Rifle in Halo and MA-75 Assault Rifle in Marathon. The plasma pistol in Halo and the Fusion pistol in Marathon both have a charge shot if you hold down trigger, oh and Foehammer is a mission in Marathon 2 I believe and the pilot in Halo:CE, the list goes on and on. research it. It's all very interesting. I once read a forum that's some where around here saying how Cortana and Durandel are based off 2 of 3 swords in like old English myth and their stories line up very very close to the Halo and Marathon stories and it predicted Bungies next game based off the 3rd sword. any way this is a ton of typing I hope I helped i'm very interested in this topic as well so PM me if you wanna chat it's very interesting and I hope I helped!
