Wow i didn't realise that i would get a responce...
any way ur right about the symbol, why is seven so connected to both games, that is the biggest connection... the # 7 i think.
i have been doing reaserch on 7 and 3. they are conncected through binary code in which 3 = III (roman numeral) similar to 111 (Binary) = 7. AIs seem to be the only ones who make reference to the number 3. Also John 117 and Miranda both have 7 units in there name. hmmm... there are also 7 halos.
have u guys noticed that halo is becoming more and more like marathon.
they eliminated the health bars so it is like marathon (only shields.)
Smgs, dual wielding, its as if they went back to marathon to make more connections. i digress this is supposed to be about the plot connections.
i think that John 117 (MC) is the Security officer (Destiny), or his father. when it durandual say u have been long dead, that doesn't mean the that he is a battlebot but instead he died and was reborn into the world of marathon ( baptised) to be the gaurdian. or that if he was human he would died at the proper age or dead metaphoicly, he died on the colonies list, but lived one because he wasn't human. he isn't dead because durandul makes references to ur life on the ship "always the biggest" also you would kinda smell if u have been dead or looked like a moderen frankienstien.
So he should be or if he was a human he should be dead but ur not. or the first time you should have died you died.... ok my head hurts.
