In Response To: Re: Pondering the connections to Marathon in Halo (Narcogen)

: Hmmm... I wouldn't give up on that first one just yet.

: I think that by and large you are right-- the connections are fairly general,
: almost coincidental in nature-- more a result of an artist making a little
: inside joke with past material, than a conscious effort to create a
: sequel.

Yeah, for the longest time the Marathon logo seemed to be some sort of inside joke or something to get us worked up. The Marathon logo was featured in the very first Oni trailer, and on concept art for Damocles (who was supposed to be around in Oni, but now is just part of the scenery in TCTF HQ).

: On the other hand... PiD and Marathon were tied pretty closely together, even
: if only on one point... that point being the Jjaro.

: And the involvement of the Jjaro might sweep away most, if not all, of the
: timeline discrepancies noted.

Well... Jjaro are the one thing that MAY appear in Halo. It would make sense in a way.

: Still, I'm sure there's an awful lot about Halo's story we don't know yet,
: and the best part about playing the game will be finding it out.

Exactly. It's just pure speculation right now, and it's fun. It'll be great to discover just what the game displays in connections to Marathon.
