Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 are modern first-person shooters (FPS) released by Bungie. They bear a number of striking similarities to the Marathon trilogy, but Bungie has repeatedly denied any correlation.[1] There are numerous easter eggs within the three games that reference the Marathon games and other software from Bungie's past.

Similarities

Both series feature a cybernetic protagonist that possesses an unusual ability of destroying enormous quantities of enemy soldiers without significant harm. Artificial intelligence are also common and the player-character takes orders directly from A.I. Various overarching concepts can be found in both series such as the similarity between Jjaro and the Forerunners and rampancy.^{[citation needed]}

Differences

Crossover theories

There have been many attempts at correlating the universes of the Marathon trilogy and the Halo series. Common theories are that the events contained in the Marathon universe occur in the same timeline as the events in the Halo universe or occur in an altered timeline. Some speculate that the player-character escaped the closure of the universe and survived the ensuing creation of the Halo universe.^{[citation needed]} No theories have been given any credit by Bungie employees and there have been direct denials of any correlation between the two universes.[2] Most of the theories have obvious problems involving various differences between the two universes.^{[citation needed]}
