If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

What we all missed

See a similarity?

Well, the FAQ does say "You may find something familiar between the Forerunner Structure's design." (give or take)

Not bad. Just another Marathon referance.

At first I saw the MC at the bottom of the screen and for a second I thought it was another Spartan. I inhaled sharply at the thought that I had missed the second Spartan then I figured out what you were really talking about. Man, am I intelligent or what.

Bungie's earlier Marathon series of games.

-- Steve'll point out that the Halo series is certainly "spiritually" linked to Marathon... but not necessarily plot/story-tied to it.

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Holy crap you may be right... Thats an awesome find.

Oh and Impurity, who says "neat" anymore? o.O

I don't see the similarity. And Bungie puts the Marathon logo on stuff all the time. The Marathon logo was IN the Halo 1 logo. And on Captain Keys' uniform.

For those who dont see, draw the symbol on paper so it looks as normal, put the paper on a table, and turn it about 45 degrees (no joke, do it). Now look at the picture from the level of the table, and put a large light under it, see it now?

That's kind of the point. Just another friednly Bungie Easter egg. Or perhaps the universe did indeed collapse.... in which case we know it's true master.

Indeed it is the Logo of the Marathon.

"In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move." -Douglas Adams

No, its just the Ark firing and setting off the remaining Halos.

It's got the same method of firing as delta halo (think death star).
The scene of it firing is also followed immidietly by the words"This is the way the world ends."

depends on if that one trail of light is the only one.

But the installation does look like a mega Ascension, doesn't it?


Yes, indeed. When I first saw it I thought it was going to be that map.

  • 05.09.2006 8:36 PM PDT

I like the idea, but it seems as though it might be an effect created by the angle of the shot.
