Marathon Infinity Ending and Destiny (Infinity Spoilers)

How do you interpret it? I just finished Infinity last night, so I'm still trying to put everything in the right order (having the forums turn into this didn't help lol). But the fact that the final word of the Marathon trilogy is the name of Bungie's new IP can't be a coincidence (this is Bungie we're 7alking about), and thus I raise the question again as to what the Durandal-S'pht entity meant by this. The first thing I really grasped onto was that this was a comment on the Security Officer being Cyborg, and, more importantly, that his cyborg status is destiny. Given the nature of the S'pht, and the final nature of Durandal, it would seem that Cyborgs are the most powerful forces in the Marathon Universe. We see similar themes carried into the Halo universe. Is Durandal saying that Cyborgs are the destiny of intelligence? Given how much Durandal talks about evolution in Marathon 1, and the fact that Evolution would very much favor immortal life in the long-term, I find this a fitting theme. What's your interpretation?

  • I find this interesting. I have never played any marathon game so I can't really say anything on the subject but it definitely wouldn't surprise me if Bungie happened to make a connection to marathon in Destiny. Although seeing that this is an entirely new universe I wouldn't say that the games are connected story-wise. But who really knows at this point, right?
