: OTOH, the general appearance of the Zombie Pfhor is very, very similar to the
: Flood from Halo. When I asked one of the other Bungie guys about this, he
: said something like "just goes to show how long Rob's been kicking
: that idea around". If they had made it into M2, it would have really
: thrown a monkeywrench into all the "marathon is|isn't in the Halo
: universe" arguments :P
Indeed, I was just thinking that myself. I have to wonder if the Flood were present in the version of the Halo storyline that was tied to the Maraverse. I only ever heard the backstory from it, not the game plot.
