Talk:List of Marathon References in Halo

this is Speculation, but might very well explain some of the Marathon Logos. it is possible that the logo of Marathon is the standard of the UNSC (which would state that Marathon is conjoined with Halo. however, this might not be true. the symbol on Keyes' pipe, however, would state that there is eigther a line of UNSC "brand" of materials such as pipes, and would therefor require the Captian's Grandfather to have purchsed such a pipe... or, it could mean that the UNSC gave out pipes, and that Keyes' Grandthather recieved one (which would mean that his family may have an old naval history, which could ALSO have been a slingshot for Keyes' genius. [I can just see his father, grandfather, ETC. siting him down and telling him old war stories] besides, the navy has uniforms and ration as well as weapons, why not pipes?] this also explains away all UNSC related refrences and would sugest that there should be a refrence on all UNSC-only equipment [some weapons that might be found on the open market, such as all the pistols, would not necessarily HAVE to have a UNSC symbol] this would explain any form of refrence found on UNSC ships as well.) I am not sure of this, but I have obsered that a good amount of the shots from a shotgun blast spread in a constantly widening pattern that forms a Marathon logo. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED

maybe it was just a normal pipe and when keyes became the captian of the POA he saw the logo and decided to have a decorative plate put on his pipe sporting the logo but hey thats just my opinion

Traxus

Someone wrote that Marathon was a "Traxus-class" colony ship, but that's not a term found in the games - whoever it was probably got it from the text in this illustration of the Marathon by Tycho of Unpfhorgiven, which was an intentional reference to the AI Traxus IV. --68.44.13.236 21:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Removal of redlinks

Why don't Milky Way Galaxy and Oni merit articles? Marathon (video game series) and Myth have articles; and an article on the galaxy could help give people a feel for the scale of the Human-Covenant War, and basically include all known information on locations/territories and how near/far from each other they are. See also: The Galaxy - Astrography on Wookieepedia. --68.44.13.236 22:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

WEll we can't do that because we simply don't have the relevant data. And Oni has a single, solitary weak refrence. --Ajax 013 20:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Rocket Launcher as Similarity Between Marathon and Halo

It seems somewhat ridiculous to me that the inclusion of "SSM" (Surface to Surface Missile) is used as a grounds for a marathon reference, an as such I have removed it.

Marathon BEFORE Halo?

Okay So day I beat halo 3 in a four player co-op on legendary I remember the date from the end of the game and as kind of thing I went back and played Durandal which is the second one and a true sequel unlike infinity and I noticed when I accessed the node at the top right corner it said a date almost 200 years before halo so either I'm tripping or there was a major error some where [[Image:Beforhalo.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|and here's the proof]
