	In Response To: Re: halo=marathon universe? (Shishka) : Not in the same universe? I beg to differ. : If you look at the Halo timeline, and compare it to the Marathon timeline, : you'll notice that the Halo timeline fills in a gap between some events : preceding the attack on the Marathon. In fact, as I recall, there are : about 50 some years between the end of the halo (as we know it so far) : story line and the next item on the marathon timeline, which is a perfect : time interval for a sequel (or 2, or 3). Nope. Check the Timeline you'll find on the left side of this page: http://www.xbox.com/halo/1millionhalo.htm Notice that FTL travel (in the Halo universe) was developed in 2291. Now look at the Marathon timeline: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/timetable.html They were still building CRISTs 20 years after that. (There are many, many, many other problems with trying to reconcile these two timelines... but this one's easy. :) ) : Further more, the games have enough in common to be in the same universe. The : use of Marathon's logo is a big hint to that. The SPNkr makes its : appearance in Halo (considering the timeline, that's really its : "first" appearance, as we know it). This is called 'homage'. : Perhaps the biggest hints that Halo coincides with the Marathon series are : our respective heroes. Master Chief is a MkV MJOLNIR cyborg. Sound : familiar? If you post here, it better. Our beloved hero from the Marathon : Trilogy is (most likely) the 10th MkIV that had integrated himself into : society at Tau Ceti. Upon reading Halo: Fall of Reach, you learn *SPOILER* : that some of Master Chief's bretheren were sent on their own missions. : That's all you know. Sound conspicuous? Sounds like two stories coming out of the same heads.
