-'''Marathon Man''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Achievement]], which is awarded for accessing all the [[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminals]] in [[Campaign]] mode and can be completed on any difficulty. The achievement is worth 40 [[Gamerpoint]]s. It is represented by a person with a [[:File:Marathon.png|''Marathon'' symbol]] for a head, surrounded by a yellow circle and with [[seven]] yellow stars (representing the seven Terminals) above him. It is a reference to [[Bungie]]'s earlier ''[[Marathon]]'' games, in which [[Terminal]]s were an integral part of the campaign levels: they functioned both for providing storyline, guiding the player, and transporting the player to the next level.
+'''Marathon Man''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[achievement]], which is awarded for accessing all the [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminals]] in [[campaign]] mode. The achievement is worth 40 [[Gamerscore]] and can be completed on any difficulty, or combination thereof. It is represented by a person with a ''[[Marathon]]'' symbol for a head, surrounded by a yellow circle and with [[seven]] yellow stars (representing the seven Terminals) above him.

-==Method==
+After accessing terminal, the player must wait for the screen to go red then wait until the screen shows another text message and finally press A to scroll down to the very last message (a fragment from a [[Forerunner]] message) to show up for the terminal to count as unlocked and contribute to the achievement's progress.
-*After you access the terminal, you need to wait for the screen to go red then wait until the screen shows another text message and finally press A to scroll down to the very last message (a fragment from a [[Forerunner]] message) to show up to get the achievement.
-*To access the terminal you must "flip" through the terminal until it redirects you then you read through the last pages, then wait a few seconds for the screen to turn red and another fraction of message to show, then leave.

+*The name of the achievement may be a reference to the 1976 film of the ''[[Wikipedia:Marathon Man (film)|same name]]'', or the 1974 [[wikipedia:Marathon Man (novel)|novel]] it was adapted from.
-*There is a bug that when getting this achievement sometimes will grant the player [[Security]] shoulders.
