Bungie was getting fans of Marathon buzzing about what was going on in advance of Halo's release. It also clues me in that at that point (1999) they probably had most of the story arc for all three games sketched out. Actually, the effort they put into laying groundwork that far back for some things that (probably) will happen in Halo 3 remind me a LOT of J. Michael Straczynski's work on Babylon 5. Mostly how once you've seen all 5 seasons of that show, if you go back and watch the first season there are lines foreshadowing crazy stuff that goes down in Season 4 that you didn't even notice the first time around.
I'm expecting Halo 3 to be much the same.
