...when you listen to the trailer for the second time and hear a distinctive sound between 35 and 36 seconds in, instantly giving you flashbacks.
Yeah, you know you love that sound.
The sound of logging onto a Marathon terminal.

Sorry if someone else has already mentioned this, but I didn't see any egg lists with it.

Also, while I'd like to believe that the opening forrunner installation at the end (Ark, we presume) is Marathon-symbol shaped, I count at least four spokes of light coming off it, not one. :-(

I'm curious, really. Did anyone else notice this, or have I played enough Marathon to bring on auditory hallucinations?

(Translation: Shameful bump.)

I dont think many people currently on these forums would have played the marathon games (i myself havent, i only became a gamer with the original xbox) but it certainly shows your dedication to Bungie, and just how memorable their games are.

Awww. Oh well. I can't think of it having any story signifigance, only a second Easter Egg anyway. Not that important, I guess.

But thanks for the comment :-)

I notice some stuff from the quotes in the cortana letters but not the sounds you mention I would like to play marathon sometime though.
