My apologies if this theory has been said 92845093259837 times or is nonsense or whatever, but I want to know.
I have been reading about Halo 3 and all that on Wikipedia. I looked on the link to the Marathon game series. In the beginning, it tells that you're a security guard dispatched to Marathon, and that you must defend the crew. The author speculates that the armor you're wearing is the MJOLINR Mark 4. It later says that there was a "spiritual prequel" released to Marathon (game). I was thinking that all of the games Bungie had released are more or less, sequels to one another.
They might be Easter Eggs, but for example, PoA had the Marathon symbol, as the 343 GS, and so on and so forth. The speculation of the MJOLINR Mk. 4 armor and the MJOLINR Mk. 5,6,7 does not need to be desrcibed, as I'm sure you see the connection.
"Seventeen years after the events of the first game, in Marathon 2: Durandal, the artificial intelligence sends the player and an army of ex-colonists to search the ruins of Lh'owon, the S'pht homeworld. He does not mention what information he is looking for, although he does let it slip that the Pfhor are planning to attack Earth, and that being on Lh'owon may stall their advance. Marathon 2 brings many elements to the game that can be considered staples of the series such as: a Lh'owon-native species known as F'lickta, the mention of an ancient and mysterious race of advanced aliens called the Jjaro, and a clan of S'pht that avoided enslavement by the Pfhor - the S'pht'Kr. At the climax of the game, the Security Officer activates Thoth, an ancient Jjaro AI. Thoth then contacts the S'Pht'Kr, who in turn destroy the Pfhor armada." The plot is similar. Someone (the security guard/player [I don't know his name]) must protect something (MC and PoA) and the bad dudes are attacking Earth (Covenant).

Every Man For Himself
This is the standard deathmatch. The winner is the person or team with the greatest score. A player loses a point if he dies but gains a point every time he kills. This is the only gametype present in the original Marathon; Bungie planned on adding the ones included in sequels, but could not due to time constraints.
Cooperative Play
Not heavily emphasized, cooperative play has players assisting each other in completion of certain levels. Scores are based on percentages of how many aliens they kill.
Skull from Kill the Man with the BallKill the Man With the Ball
In this game, the objective is to hold the ball (skull) for the longest amount of time. If holding the ball, a player cannot run or attack unless he drops the ball by pressing the "fire" key. The motion sensor, if enabled, acts as a compass to point players in the direction of the ball. It is likely that the Halo multiplayer gametype, Oddball, which has nearly the same rules, derived from this.
King of the Hill
Players try to stay on the Hill longer than anyone else. It was originally planned for a pedestal to indicate the location of the Hill but in the final version was indicated by a compass on the motion sensor.
Tag
The first player to be killed becomes "It", and the other players can only score points by killing "it". The killer becomes the new "it".
^These ideas are really just gametypes in H2 and H1, except with different names and characteristics.
This is all I have for now, since I'm going to watch a movie. Once again, I apologize if this is a theory already disapproved, and so on. Thanks.
This is where I found all of my information. If you want to speculate more or whatever, look here
