Idk if anyone's pointed this out before, but I was just playing through the Campaign on Legendary, and in the cutscene at the beginning of The Maw, You can see the Marathon symbol on the side of the PoA. I had never noticed it before.

Kinda weird.

It's also on Keyes' uniform, Keyes' pipe, the monitor's "eye," and the control room on AOTCR is in the shape of the marathon symbol.

Yeah most likely just Easter Eggs, whatever bungie does after Halo 3 will probably be filled with Halo Refrences.

It's probably just an easter egg. Bungie just felt like doing. I doubt that because of the Marathon symbol in halo ce that it automatically means that halo and marathon are similiar.

Dude if you think that's weird you should try a Halo search on www.wikipedia.com. You should see all the connections it has between Halo and the Bible.

Ever played marathon? They are similar, perhaps not through story but certainly through premise. In fact, my dad's first reaction when he saw me playing halo was that it looked a lot like Marathon, yeah my dad was a hardcore marathon player back in his prime.

You shouldn't comment on threads you dont really know much about.
