: it really FUBAR's the chance for a sequal with that
: ending. :(

But that was the point - Bungie wanted to put the Marathon project to bed and start work on the Myth trilogy. This is even hinted at somewhere in the credits screens, as I recall. But that didn't preclude 3rd party scenarios at all. In fact, it encourages them and opens up whole new possibilities based on the premise of multiple timelines. In other words, it now becomes possible to choose any reality as the starting point for a sequel. Take Rubicon, for example, which basically assumes that Infinity restored the original M2 timeline and uses that as the starting point.

You are thinking too linearly. Sequels (or prequils) can occur at any point in time and in any alternate reality. Also, remember that the final screens for all 3 scenarios discuss the future, well beyond the timelines of the M trilogy.
