Marathon Man

Marathon Man

Halo 3

Marathon Man is a Halo 3 Achievement. It is awarded for accessing all the Terminals in Campaign.

The achievement awards the player 40 Gamerpoints.

It is represented by a yellow circle with a person who's head has a Marathon symbol on it, and with seven yellow stars (representing the seven Terminals) above him.

It is similar to the Marathon: Durandal achievement, Hats off to 819.

The award itself is a reference to Marathon (video game series) as you could access Terminals in game to gather information on the Marathon universe. Marathon Man is also the name of a 1976 movie.

Details:

After you access the terminal, you need to wait for the screen to go red and a fragment from a Forerunner message to show up to get the achievement.

For some players, the achievement will only be unlocked if the seventh terminal is accessed last.

A player must access seven terminals, another seven reference.
