![]() The Assault Rifle in Marathon 1 was named the M.75, and its successor in Marathon: Durandal and Infinity has the designation "MA-75B".There are MJOLNIR Mark IV cyborgs in Marathon, there is the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in the Halo series.These 'certain things' match up well with nearly identical events which the main character from Pathways experienced. This character feels as if he has done certain things before, or as if he has dreamed about them. Although it is never directly stated, the Marathon character is rumored to be a cyborg, formed from the dead bodies of soldiers. There are also connections which are not directly spoken, but many believe. Many concepts of the Jjaro were made into the Forerunners in Halo. of the "waking god" are the Jjaro, an ancient alien race that is featured heavily in the Marathon and (as some fans believe) Halo series, although they are never mentioned by name in the latter. Heart of the Stone (from Myth, reprised in Myth II as Gonen's Bridge).Here, the Deadly Brain is a disembodied human brain, and it is essentially just going crazy because Konoko "decoupled its core logic" (how exactly does one do that to a human brain, anyway?).įorklifts in the Warehouse are labeled "BALOR", and Balor is the name of a Celtic god, but it is also the name taken by the incarnation of "the Leveler" in Myth.Ī number of ambient themes from Myth: The Fallen Lords and Myth II: Soulblighter were reprised in Oni: However, a rampancy in Marathon takes place when an AI is exposed to large amounts of data for a long enough period of time. The tirades of the Deadly Brain (only seen in the subtitles) are a reference to this, as shown by Shinatama's statement, "Clearly, it's gone rampant". An egotistical level of self-awareness accompanies the development of the AI's personality. The three/four stages of a rampant AI are Melancholia, Anger, Jealousy, and Metastability. The word rampant had existed before Bungie, but the specific concept of "rampancy", referring to an AI that goes out of control and acts with free will, was coined and subsequently developed by the Marathon team.Comm Troopers can also scream "She's everywhere!" (referring to Konoko) another phrase screamed by the assimilated BOBs was "They're everywhere!" Not coincidentally, Doug Zartman was the voice actor for both Marathon's BOBs and Oni's Comm Troopers.The biggest warning was when one would nonsensically yell "Frog blast the vent core!" Intended to blend in with the inhabitants of the UESC Marathon (who were "Born On Board") until they got close enough to the player to detonate themselves, the simulacrums would attempt to shout phrases similar to regular BOBs – but their odd expressions would give away that something was not right about them. Comm Troopers occasionally say "OK, OK, don't frog blast the vent core!", which is a reference to the "assimilated" or "simulacrum" BOBs in Marathon.In Oni, the Wave Motion Cannon is the biggest weapon in the game, and the only one to support two firing modes. A weapon called "Wave Motion Cannon" was cut from Marathon.PHOENIX RISING (see texture TXMPTC_SHCOMP2 as well as this concept art). The Marathon symbol can be seen on the hull of the TCTF computer Damocles in CHAPTER 06.The first Oni trailer featured Marathon symbols on crates inside a warehouse.The Jjaro are also mentioned in Marathon 2. While seemingly there to provide proof that a human AI is distorting human history data (to prevent invading aliens from knowing of Earth's location) the text is actually a highly corrupted version of the original Pathways Into Darkness story. The most subtle of the connections between Pathways Into Darkness and Marathon lie in a single computer terminal in the latter game. The "waking god" is believed to be a - or the - W'rkncacnter, a race or singular entity in the Marathon series which shares similar properties, primarily ancient origins, incredible power and the capacity to cause destruction on a global or cosmic scale simply by existing. The most salient of connections between Pathways Into Darkness and the Marathon universe is the nature of the "waking god" and the helpful aliens who inform the United States government of its nature. It suggests that the cyborg or resurrected soldier from each of Bungie's games is the "Eternal Warrior," a single being who keeps being brought into each game universe to be the main and most powerful antagonist fighting against the game's main antagonist(s). This most common theory about Bungie's games is the eternal warrior theory. ![]() 19 Destiny 2 and Third-Party Crossovers.17 Destiny 2 and Operation: Desert Storm.14 Destiny 2 and Pathways Into Darkness.
