The flamethrower on the PC version of halo is identical to the flamethrower from marathon and has the same name written in "1337 speak" 7057 = TOZT They share a name, design and ammo count, although the Marathon version has an underslung grenade launcher. The plasma pistol is the exact same weapon as the fusion pistol from marathon, including the overcharge power.īoth series feature dual wield, and noticeably dual wieldable shotguns (although the shotguns in marathon are so much fucking cooler) The rocket launcher in halo is the SPNKR (it even says so on the side). There was a shoulder mounted weapon rocket launcher in Marathon called the SPNKR X-18. In fact, many of the enemies are simmilar in either name, design or theme, including a parralell between the Elite's rebellion in halo and the rebellion of the S'pht Halo 1 and Marathon 2 both begin with the main character waking up from hypersleep after a large battle.īoth games have enemies called "Hunters", who wear armour and carry a sheild, although the Halo design for a Hunter is copied from the Marathon enemy design of a Hulk. Marathon Infinity also shars the same theme as halo with the "stopping the aliens from accidentally releasing galaxy destroying monstrositys". I think even Bungie will admit to it being a "spiritual successor".īoth games feature MJOLNIR battle armored cyborgs.īoth games revolve around rampancy as a theme, and both feature a backstory that is told through cryptic terminal messages. Marathon is one of my favorite game series of all time. I'm also reminded of the former head of 343i, also head of Bungie commenting on how he wanted Halo to involve a massive number of users in a multiplayer setting, but Microsoft didn't share the same desire and they pushed that concept aside (can't find that article as of now) Bungie heads also stayed behind to head 343i and are similarly following the original game plan Bungie set out to make Halo, but working from an incomplete build. Bungie broke off from Microsoft and retooled that version of Halo to be what we are now playing in Destiny. It basically feels like Bungie had a complete timeline written for Halo and was developing it into what would become Destiny. Not to mention in Destiny the protectors of the last free civilization that the Traveler guards are called Guardians which also happens to be the sub title of Halo 5: Guardians. Supposedly Halo 5 is supposed to be an open world game with multiple hubs like in Destiny. There also seems to be a lot of Destiny in Halo 5. Scrapped the single civilization on the planet, but kept the Traveler sphere because maybe that area of the game had already been developed? This makes me think they retained some of the design aspects originally intended for this Halo/Destiny game. In Halo 4 you even play within a sphere that doesn't look much like the planet at the end of Halo 3. The last thing you see is a planet structure with a clustered, lit up area of civilization just like in Destiny and the last civilization protected by the Traveler. Can cloak and are surrounded by lesser fallen just like grunts.įallen use pistols that are just like needlers.īut mostly I think about the ending of Halo 3. Ghost is acts and looks a lot like Guilty Spark.īikes in ad Destiny operate just like Ghosts in Halo.įallen Captains move and attack just like elites. The views of the moderation team do not reflect the view of Microsoft or its subsidiaries.Īfter playing the alpha and some of the Beta, I think it's undeniable that there are a lot of components that mimic Halo within the game.
