In Response To: Re: I can think of one thing. (Nicholai)

: I insist, there are a too many coincidences between both games.

Coincidental how? In terms of events, characters, style...? You could say there are coincidences between a lot of Stephen King books but just because the same person crafted them doesn't mean they take place in the same universe.

So in Halo and Marathon we are humanity's last hope as an enhanced soldier that uses futuristic weapons and help from unstable AI's to pull off fantastical missions and reuscues, eventually (presumably) saving us from the onslaught of an unstoppable alien race. Coincidental? No. If these two games had been made at the same time by two different companies that had no knowledge of eachother then maybe, but a lot can be said that Halo was a natural progression of Marathon, at least in terms of game technology, theme, story conveyance, and marketing. Marathon may have led up to Halo, but that doesn't mean their events occur within the same universe.

It wasn't always like this. If you want some background on the interplay between Halo and Marathon and how it's changed over time you need to ask Forrest.

Otherwise, it's like luk9 said...
