In Response To: The Halo versus Marathon case. (Djof) : - The Marathon/Halo logo isn't used the same way in Halo as it was in
: - Again, the timelines don't match. And that says a lot, unless you're
: - UNSC (United Nations Space Command) in Halo and UESC (United Earth Space
All three of the above points can be attributed to Bungie rebuilding or revamping a similar universe. Why bother using the Marathon symbol at all? I'm sure the Bungie crew are clever enough to come up with an independent UNSC logo. Remember the Arther Frain terminals in Infinity calling for USEC forces? I think the difference is something like that. Not the same universe AS marathon, per se, more a reinterpretation of the same universe. : - Still no rampancy found in Halo. Only "smart" and
It has recently and officially been stated though that the AIs in Halo are a new type -- their patterns being based on the mind of a real person. In the final level of Halo, for example, the Monitor shows concern about the volume of knowledge that Cortana has access to -- it is the neural complexity caused by high levels of knowledge that cause rampancy in Marathon, so why not in Halo? : - Just how AIs are handled in both universes. No terminals in Halo, no
Yeah, I'm reading FoR right now. : - No patern buffer in Halo nor teleportation (at least until Cortana learns
This is another case of why bother though. Homage is fine -- but to do so in such an elaborate fashion which *almost* fits into the Marathon universe (and in certain respects simply re-tells necessarty overlaps) implies something more. The conflicting timelines make it quite clear that Halo does not take place in the Marathon universe -- my theory is that Halo takes place in a retelling of the Marathon universe. Kinda like the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes :D At the very least, thinking from a design viewpoint, I know that the way I would deal with the vagueness of the marathon universe and the necessity of an accurate halo franchise universe, combined with a need to entertain and stimulate this very community, would be to give the marathon universe a nip and tuck, rip it up, and put it back together as the halo universe -- give us a universe full of intrigue and genuine knowledge conspiracies (and do so on purpose this time ;p).
