In Response To: Re: I guess I'll chime in on this (Forrest of B.org)

: It's officially not in the same universe, which is about as far as you can
: go. Their universes are obviously very similar, and given that both are
: fiction some ficticious connection could always be invented to force the
: two together (how good of a story that would make is debatable), but since
: the authors have explicitly said "no, not the same universe",
: that's the end of that.

: If you like you can consider them parallel universes; as far as I can tell,
: the two are perfectly compatible (no directly conflicting events, and
: numerous parallels) in the *past*; its just in the future (from our time)
: that they diverge. But then, further information on Halo's past history
: could negate even that, and the "not the same universe" edict
: could include multiverses as well, so even that's not much for one to hang
: on to for cramming the two universes together.

Of course that doesn't rule out the fact that the Halo universe could have opened after the Marathon universe closed. You never know, perhaps the Security Officer/Durandal/Thoth from the closure into the Halo universe, and using their god-like powers gave the new universe some nudges here and there to make it somewhat familiar. :)

I dunno about you guys, but the idea of coming across Durandal in a Halo game as the creator of the universe would definitely rock in my book. :)
