I agree, we won't see any Marathon characters appear in Halo 3. That would just be bizzare.Lurono wrote: I bet it's just a reference to Marathon... Kinda like how you can find the Marathon symbol everywhere. Hasn't Bungie said that the Marathon and Halo storylines are two completely different things? I very HIGHLY doubt that we will see ANY connection between the two games. We will see references made to Marathon, but we WONT see Durandal or any other character from Marathon make a serious appearance in Halo 3 (they may do a cameo, however, which is still different from what can be considered a canonical appearance).
Though, if I'm correct, the Marathon Man achievement is related to the terminals, so there should be any major references anyway.
