Halo underwent various conceptual changes prior to its successful launch as an Xbox exclusive first-person shooter. Artistic parallels and shared themes connect it with Bungie's earlier game Marathon. Original designs for Master Chief and fan-created artworks underscore this connection. Notable references to Marathon appear throughout the Halo series, including logos and weapon names like "SPNKR," emphasizing a deep relationship between the two games. The exploration of AIs going rogue in Halo also traces back to Marathon's lore.
The original Halo went through several conceptual iterations before it became the first-person shooter that would take the world by storm as an Xbox exclusive.
The Bungie Halo games are chock full of Marathon references, from the franchise's logo to the name of Halo's legendary rocket launcher, "SPNKR."
