I know they left in the Bungie Day Easter eggs on all the maps that feature them. I don’t see 343 celebrating it because it is a Bungie thing, but at least they kept the stuff in the game to remind the old school players of Bungie Days ages past.
The only case of 343 fucking with easter eggs that I can remember is removing Dancing Marty from ODST. That man will never catch a break from any company.

Also the Destiny tease/easter egg in ODST. But yeah, it seems like every fucking company wants nothing to do with him now.

It's probably a copyright thing, Microsoft doesn't own Marty's face. I'm sure he doesn't care but the lawyers do. They also had to change the Destiny ad/easter egg because Destiny was published by Activision.

It was in MCC for a time but was bugged, like most of the game at the time, and eventually replaced in an update with that bald guy and an autistic inside joke about him being a janitor that was used in other 343i media like vidocs and H5 news all the way until HW2 was announced. When did they get removed and what the was that in-joke about?

They also changed the design of Guilty Spark due to copyright issues despite maybe 3 people at Bungie even remembering they own the Marathon IP and the 3 that remember not giving a shit about it.

I played Marathon Durandal because I was curious about the series and you could buy it on 360, it was incredibly fun and the theme song straight up rocks.

Hell, that's why I only wear the Security helmet in Halo 3/Reach. Gotta respect your ancestors.

Infinity had a pretty good story and referenced Destiny.

Wish they would make a Halo 3 firefight (not ODST. Its literally a matter of swapping UI and playermodels with a handful of new maps.) so the Mjolnir mark VI Spartans could finally see some real combat.

There was some rumors about a Halo CE pistol for Bungie's anniversary in Destiny 2. Not likely since the Troons are too busy persecuting people like Marty and too lazy.


MCC players have some amazing gamer chairs making multiplayer fucking unplayable: :story:

Nu-Bungie makes me scared of what happens to the mere existence of Marathon. It's been a great source of inspiration for me, but I'm going to hurt at the non-zero chance of a reboot.
Any Marathon game without Greg Kirkpatrick isn't canon. Marathon is basically non existent to Bungie to the the point they allow the entire thing to be de-facto freeware. I would kill for an Id developed Marathon game as long as Kirkpatrick was involved. Just imagine the Marathon OST by Levy and Hulshult. A guy who does Hulshult/Gordon inspired remixes did one for Marathon and it's great.

A man of taste, I see. My classic H3 look didn't use the Security helmet, but it did use a shoulderpad. My setup was to show off as many different achievements as possible: Rogue helmet (rank), Security and Recon shoulders (gamerscore and Vidmasters), and Hayabusa chest (skulls). I've swapped things around in MCC since I like the new ODST gear, but I might change my setup to include the Security helmet.

I never did enough grinding to get Security in 360 Reach, but I did swap to it as soon as I unlocked it in MCC. Currently have the Mister Chief helmet equipped, but I'll probably change back soon.

I also played through Marathon 2's XBLA port back in the day, even completing the Vidmaster Challenge. Proudly wore its nameplate in Reach after that, and I guess now that you can't change it, it's permanent until the services go offline at the end of the year.

Bungie did acknowledge Marathon's existence with a 25th anniversary shirt a couple years ago, but aside from that, they've pretty much forgotten about it. It's funny, I still remember all those pre-Destiny theories about how Marathon, Halo, and Destiny might be connected, mostly through references to three AIs based on three mythical swords (Durendal/Durandal, Curtana/Cortana, and Joyeuse). There were a few mentions of an AI named Charlemagne in pre-launch materials, but they never panned out in-game, and there were only a couple minor references years later (a vault name referred to Joyeuse, and Charlemagne was mentioned as a submind in a lore piece). Probably another thing that got lost in the narrative rewrite all those years ago.

Well lads, today's the day. Very curious to see how it goes. If it's another trainwreck, we should at least get a few great memes out of it like last time. This E3 has been so shitty so far and the bar has been set so low (feels like more movies have been shown off than actual games...) that MS would have to REALLY fuck up hard to not automatically have the best show. But we'll see.

Final predictions: Multiplayer-focus, quick campaign trailer, graphics improved but still not mindblowing, 50/50 on beta announcement, battle pass, "10 year plan" and "game pass" will be said at least a hundred times each, there will be at least one thing that pisses everyone off (probably having to do with monetization).

See you on the other side!

It has been abandonware and essentially public domain for about 15 years now. and the community literally sources the entire trilogy AND the source code to the engine for free. Actual Bungie (the guys that made halo, marathon, myth, etc) literally gave away the source code.

ditto. These look pretty awesome not gonna lie.

Time for a Forensic Analysis:

#1. We're back to dirty armor, this is a good thing, makes you look like anything other than a total noob

#2. Composite visor paneling is a welcome addition

#3. The more alien looking armors like Aviator and Soldier look toned down greatly, yet still get the general idea down

343i is Actually Racist against Shanghelli. Not one of their original games has them in multiplayer as a selectable race.
Even reach, the game they recycle the entire Armory from, let you play as elites in some form.
