Halo=Marathon. i am slow

NeoSneth · Jan 30, 2003

This was brought to my attention and i should i have seen it earlier. Halo contains about 100+ references to Marathon within the game. I did a lil looking into it, and it turns out that there is some nice research on the topic.
Halo original masterpiece>? Pshh. mac owns halo

um, so? whats the point, halo is a sequel, everyone that cares knows.

they act like the stumbled on some AMAZING information or something. its just so stupid the way they present it. like OMG NO WAY HALO IS MARATHON 4. its like some GIANT revelation or something. its not.

Halo != Marathon. Halo is a poor excuse, even for an unofficial sequel. Marathon had awesome story, awesome level design, and solid multiplayer. Halo does not.

Edited to say that Sonic makes no sense. ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?

shit yo, it's cool to bash halo even though it's better than 50% of games on the market!

Huh?

Craptastic level design for multiplayer, and controllers suck for serious FPS competition. Boring textures.

Its your opinion, but it proves youre fucking retarded!
Halo seriously owns maratahon's multiplayer. Physics that add for INIFINITE replayability and playing around.

You must be joking.

Halo didn't win 'Game of the Year' for nothing, and is called by many the 'best FPS ever'. I tend to agree on both counts.

Marathon?!?!? What's that? isn't that some sort of a race?

I think sonic1687's grammar was fine. And boring textures? I think halo has some of the best textures to date. It's really fun playing online too.

I already knew this, but I must say it was actually nice to have the evidence presented in such a nice fashion. A lot of what I was reading before was just text and speculation. I completely missed the "spanker" connection.

And shutup, Mog.

There's a *TON* more that they missed. They also neglected the fact that Marathon has numerous Halo references in it.

Very tight storyline, except for a few place.

Halo 2 should be...

THE RETURN OF DURANDAL!

Since we seem to consider ourelves knowledgeable enough as gamers to "decide" what games are good or not, your (exremely) brash comparison of Marathon and Halo should have an interesting outcome on my current Top 50 Games thread.

Why not give Marathon a fighting chance and vote for it?
