In Marathon, the ships are sublight, requiring a mulit-generational Born On Board (Bob) crew. In Halo, they have Faster-Than-Light capable ships. However, the technologies present in both stories don’t match up. The timeline issue is one of technology, really: Going both by calendar year, and references in Marathon’s story, the events in the game Marathon should be after Halo. Certainly, many elements, such as the Cole Protocol, and SPARTAN cyborgs wearing Mjolnir armor are common between the two. That’s currently the big debate on the Marathon story page. I wasn’t sure if Bungie verified that Halo takes place in Marathon’s universe, so I didn’t mention it. They had all become depressed and suicidal and so decided that nuking the planet would be a fun idea. They were launched by the AI computers because they were bored. This is just the first one, I won’t spoil much else for you but I will say that in Fallout 2 you discover the nukes weren’t set off by the governments. You find towns built by people whos Vaults opened long before yours. You start in Fallout 1 as a guy in Vault 13 that has to travel the wastelands in order to replace a water purification chip in your Vault. Also as this is going on fallout shelters called Vaults are constructed around the globe. Around this time Chinese troops appear in Alaska, but they are very low on fuel and unable to penetrate very far. The Americans plunder and stockpile the resources and basically declare martial law in the north. At this point Canada agrees to be annexed by the States in exchange for 10% of the oil. Both are very close but an unfortuante “accident” on the Chinese rig knocks them out of the race and the States sucks out the last bit of oil in the world. So anyway, the only two countries capable of drilling out the oil are China and the United States. I can’t remember exactly where it was but I think it was out at sea. Basically all the major countries are rushing to tap the worlds last source of oil. It all starts with the oil crisis and the creation of AI.
I’ve thougth about it and I’d also like to cast my vote for the Fallout series. And despite the humans managing to destroy the Halo before it can be fired, the Covenant are winning the war.Īnd in the Halo2 trailer, they’ve reached Earth. Which means that the Covenant want to destroy humans based on their gods, who were human. You as the player find out the Halo has been fired before to stop the Flood. There are multiple Halos throughout the universe. When activated, it destroys all biological life in a 25,000 light-year radius.
The only way to stop a Flood infection is to wipe out its food - all sentient life in the universe. It was studied on the Halo, more than likely escaped, and wiped out the Forerunners. It is the plague the Forerunners wrote of. The Flood is an interstellar virus, an organism that takes over any biological lifeform of sufficient mass. The Covenant accidentally release the Flood, which was stored on the Halo. It is guarded by an ancient AI, which mistakes the human representative as one of its former masters (the Forerunners).
The tech on the Halo is far above both human and Covenant tech. The human ship is shot down and crashes on the Halo. During the war, a lone human ship on the run from a Covenant(alien coalition) attack makes a blind hyperspace jump and ends up in a solar system with one of the ringworlds orbiting a gas giant. After an encounter with humans in space, they decide we are the plague their gods spoke of and declare war against us. They worship the creators of the ringworld as gods. A coalition of alien races find ancient technology and texts on a deserted ringworld that describe a plague spreading through the universe.
