Yes, I am an old skool Marathon lover.

You know that symbol on the Pillar of Autumn at the beginning of HALO and on Keye's uniform.. that was the Marathon Symbol.

Please Bungie, bring it back!

I liked it when they sneaked in images for old games they are fun to look for.

That was called an easter egg, it has nothing to do with halo, it's just bungie team having some old school retro fun...

There's so many Marathon traits in Halo it's scary.

I'm sure if the Marathon symbol doesn't get in, something from Marathon will.

I've always had this nagging feeling that somehow the stories of Marathon and Halo are linked...don't really know how though.

Yeah, yeah, but I still love seeing the symbol and it was kinda sad to not see it in H2. I really, really hope they change their minds and we see it back in H3.. and yeah, it would be cool to see them back.

btw, where do you think the hunters for halo come from? :)

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)
The Mirratord

Ω

The Marathon symbol:
* on Keye's uniform
* on the side of the Pillar of Autumn
* the entire control room of Halo, if seen from above
* the center of the island on the Silent Cartographer, if seen from above
* on 343 Guilty Spark's "eye"

Fear not, it shall return. Usually it's just so subtle that nobody picks up on it.

  • 05.17.2006 10:46 AM PDT

Yes. I want it back too!!!!

I can remember the days of playing Marathon on my Apple Color Classic waaaaaay back. Good times. Hence my avatar.

Not quite. If anything the Marathon symbol is more based on the description of Atlantis given by Plato. I.E. THIS

Marathon symbol is supposed to symbolize two hands holding earth (as in protecting it)

Don't forget, those tricky Phfor were slavers.
