: Ive never posted here before but ive read quite a few of the articles, and
: have played all the Marathon and Halo games.
: Have any of you guys ever considered that the events in Halo, and the events
: in Marathon take place at the same time. The technology involved seems to
: be fairly the same [but more advanced in Halo seeing as its been 300 years
: since the marathon got an update.] Cortana the AI would also be ,and is
: ,more Advanced than Durandal, Thyco and Leela. The reason the Phfor and
: the covanant have never met is simple, they are hundreds of millions of
: light-years away from each other and probably would never have met.
M1 takes place at Tau Ceti. That's close enough to Earth that the UNSC would have explored it, and it would have been glassed by the Covenant.
Halo's technology level doesn't place it after Marathon. The humans on Marathon have teleportation, plasma pistols, and energy shields.
Also, Halo takes place in 2552, while Marathon takes place in 2794.
