Well i had a topic about this in June sometime i just can't find it and this a update or version 2 perhaps.


But there is a link to Marathon and Halo. One thing Gravemind might be Durandal cause of the Forerunner's were the Marathoner's.(As i say.) Cause of the huge gap in-bewtween times. Also i know the Cortana letters were just written by an old Bungie employee but it explains a lot to Halo series and Marthon that is linked up? How did Gravemind get smart fast and learn how to talk maybe he is another A.I. But how did Cortana oppose no threat to him at the end of the game. Maybe a link or something else? The Cortana letters acctually planned some sort of plot for the Halo games. As the Bungie Employee types what Cortana say's " I've crossed over" (Or something close to that.) when she tried to contacted to Durandal.

Ok, no offense, but this has been discussed many many times. There are definately parallels between Marathon and Halo (though none canonical) just as there are definately parallels between Halo and the Bible.
Read the Cortana letters, the Jjaro background and the Durandal story over at the marathon story page if you want more info.

I don't know the Halo 3 story. Not a clue. I've been playing and puzzling with the Marathon story for over a decade now.

I'm not sure which one you are referring to.

It's usually been read in this context as "The Swift Hand Of God".



well what do you expect from a free online translator

Sure Recon. I believe you. You know nothing about the Halo 3 story Mr. Master Forum- Ninja- who- probably- knows- more- than -he's- letting -on -but- cleverly -pretends -he -doesn't

Maybe your buddy Shiska, the other Master Ninja doesn't know? ( even though he works for bungie)

Like you haven't "conviently " discussed H3 while at the ninja watercooler [/ LoL ]

Seriously?

I get to speak/chat/IM/PM with a couple of people who likely know the story and what is going to happen.

You know what?

I have never asked once to be let in on the secret. As a matter of fact, many times I will ask them not to say anything that could even give me a clue. Because I don't want one. I don't want to put them at risk of violating their NDA and (more selfishly) I don't want to have any preconceptions when I put the disk into my 360.

I want to be as clean a slate as possible, and to experience the game as it was intended.

Now, if the events (the leak specifically) prior to the official release of Halo 2 are any indication, I am likely to see and hear spoiler from losers who think that sort of thing is fun. Oh well, that's part of the job.

But I have no idea what is coming. Plenty of wonderings and theories, but I like keeping them to myself of talking about them with friends.


Awesome. You really get to talk to people who are making the game?

Has anyone said "That Iceman and his crazy-as-hell theory. We'll let him keep thinking MC has to activate the halos.."

So........putting the security of the game aside, is there anything you can tell us that isn't "classified" but significant to Halo 3?

Or is it against against The Code of the Ninja?

btw do the ninjas get a good laugh out of the theories they read? especially mine if youve seen it LoL
