In Response To: MARATHON = and != HALO (paolo) The Great Theory of Paolo got me thinking (it was mostly the word 'release)... And I've come up with the Best Guess Theory :D I don't know where to chack the dates -- was Nathan working for Bungie while Bungie owned Bungie or soon after the buyout? My thinking is this... at one time, Halo DID take place in the Marathon Universe. For franchise purposes, the universes were partially severed (since Microsoft would/do totally own the Halo franchise but had no claim on the Marathon franschise). The partiality of severance would be a result of the need to maintain the Marathon community, and a neat way to dodge having to rebuild sizeable portions of the (now independant) Halo universe. This covers the allusions to the Big Bungie Story (chaos vs. order mixed with good vs. evil), as well as tying neatly with the Marathon references AND the 'factual' cracs that appear when you cross over the UESC/UNSC timelines.
