	In Response To: Re: Halo. Combat Evolved (Alric Storm) : I agree that Halo retells the Marathon story... except I'd tie it more with : Marathon 2's plot. A lone ship with a cyborg marine and a rampant AI flees : an alien fleet (Pillar of Autumn escapes a battle disastrous for the : humans while after Boomer leaves Tau Ceti it is sacked by the Pfhor) to a : planet which contains some kind of secret vital to saving the human race. : You'll all remember that Durandal's purpose for going to Lh'owon was to : locate the 11th clan and enlist them in the war with the Pfhor... and Halo : contains some kind of secret which was so important to the Covenant that : amazingly all of their ships pursued the Pillar. Also the Covenant are a : combination of races, which makes me think of the Pfhor and all of the : races they have enslaved to fight for them, like the Sph't, Drinniol, and : cyborgs. I wonder if there is some race oppressed by the Covenant that : will rise up like the Sph't? Good points. : I've never posted here before (as you can see from the name I'm more : Myth-centered, but my roots in gaming are Marathon)... I was surprised to : see that this site had a forum! Welcome Alric. Hope you stick around. : two stupid questions: why not call it a Pfhorum? It might have been cool back in '95 but the 'pfh' thing has become somewhat cliched these days. : how long has it been up? It went live on May 12, 2001. Cheers Hamish
