In Response To: Official confirmation that Halothon was real (General-RADIX)

: Well, we already knew that Halo was set in the Marathon universe in earlier
: drafts via Forrest sharing his account of being told this by a Bungie
: employee, plus the Marathon emblem being present in earlier builds and on
: Halo:CE's logo, but now we have it in plain text from a developer on
: Halo:CE, Paul Russel .

: "The Drinol designed by @shiekthegeek and originally built by yours
: truly back in 1999, back when Halo was in the Marathon universe! "

: Brought to our attention by Herald of Oblivion in the main Marathon Discord
: server; Aaron grabbed the link.

Aye.

Paul Russell (former Bungie artist) has been saying this for sometime now. Check out his interview with Marty O'Donnell last year (see the Story page today). He goes into some detail about how the tone of Halo CE was originally meant to be much darker with Cortana's rampancy being revealed as originating from Durandal's base code.
