Ok, everyone says bungie is working on marathon and isn't gonna do anymore halo. Also everyone says the planet at the end of the game is marathon some time later. So could someone give me some background on marathon and tell me what marathon is, because I'm pretty sure marathon was before my time. Thanks all.
http://source.bungie.org/get/ click that link to download the original and play it your self http://www.forgehub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6453&page=6 go here for a lively "discussion" on that particular theory THE GIST: Basically your on a massive colony ship called the marathon made fomr one of mars moons. Its on a massive journey to tau ceti. Your attacked by a race called the pfhor and play a cyborg security officer who is woken from cyro at the beginning. Your being guided around by an AI..whos then captured or something...the dishwasher AI go nuts,gets alot smarter and becomes the new AI telling you where to go. Yadda yadda yadda,ancient alien race the pfhor asplode and we all go home to eat pie. -As you can see form my "amazing summary" there are a good few similarities between the two,namely the protagonist being a cyborg woken form cryo- While some think this is "proof" MC is in marathon space i simply put it down to halo being inspired by marathon. I apologise for no-doubt butchering the story,i never actually played the game just wiki'ed and searchd for facts for said argument topic. Anyone who knows the game,feel free to give a more detailed summary
too bad that thread fails miserably and is full of pre-teen rambling. Midget is the only one in there that makes any sense. lol
