Seeing that shape while watching the trailer made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Marathon: neither gone nor forgotten!


All Bungie fans hold that logo deep in their hearts...now where's my tozt. ?


*Grabs two Tozts, and hands one to BobBQ*

well from this angle you are right but if you watch the whole thing there are 4 lines radiating from the center. It's just that the other 3 are hiddden by the structure and the light.

um dude didn't you know bungie got the Marathon symbol from a crop-circle? that is one of the most common types of crop circles. the big circle with a smaller circle inside and to the top.

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."

I want proof that is the ark.

I still dont see it.. :(

This thread was so cool that three mods posted in it! Nice find...

I think its kind of funny that people don't know what Marathon is though.

What we all missed

See a similarity?


Yep, i saw the similarity. The pattern from you're second picture is the same pattern with the big blue light going upwards to the sky and that small blue light going down the center of the circle on the ark; it's a circul within a circul with a line going down through the center. Man that was easyto work out, hope you can understand what i said.

Your theory is skewed.

Bungie proclaimed themselves (the Content Monkey, to be more precise) that the events taking place within the Halo 3 Announcement Trailer were taken from the storyline roughly one-third into the game. I don't think that the six remaining Halos would destroy (nearly) the entire galaxy with two-thirds of the game remaining. Also, you're assuming that the gigantic Forerunner structure unveiled by the Covenant is, in fact, the Arc. Not to say that Bungie wouldn't reveal the actual Arc to us in a mere trailer, but chances are they would realize the consequences of bringing one the key elements of this series into the light so early, thus ruining the element of surprise and sheer awe of witnessing something that grand for the first time.

If I already know what the Arc looks like, as well as it's location, what's the fun in that?

Well, they just blacklisted his DeutcheMaster account, and now it seems he goes by the name MasterDeutche.

Ingenious.

Oh my god... it took me FOREVER to see what you were talking about... but I think you have WAY TOO MUCH TIME on your hands to notice that... but pretty sweet, dude!

PS: I see you are using QuickTime, if you are on a .Mac... go shoot yourself and buy a REAL computer.

I get what you're saying, but I would be willing to bet that the similarity was 100% unintentional.

hmmm when i saw this thread i thought it looked somewhat familiar, i found this on the boot up screen for halo 1 on PC. I think you may be right!

(look in center of screen you can see something that looks like the marathon logo)

I think this wasn't posted because it doesnt exist. I see the resemblance, and I give you credit but it isn't really similar. The Marathon Logo has the circle towards the top and the strucure has radial symmetry. There are also more paths of light that are just out of view.

That sign is everywhere in Halo. on the pIllar of Autumn, you can use for your sign in MP in H2, in the start screen of Halo 1....I know there is more but I don't realy look into it I jsut see the obvious ones.

I think it's a bad angle. .... there will be those strips of light going to each one of the raised pillars. Look at the big ball in the centre, you can see little bits of light heading to two others but because of the angle they get cut off.
