[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] cortana 5 I meant that if the mystery planet and the new IP map correlated due to the "universe escaping" theory, then there would technically be Halo data in the new IP/new IP data in halo, which is no longer Bungie's property. That's where legalities would start tangling.[/quote]I don't believe for a second that Bungie would outrightly affirm that this was the case. They never technically confirmed any of the links between Marathon and Halo besides "there are similarities and parallels" or something to that affect. I know what you're saying, but you're implying that it would not be the more subtle of conspiracy theories :P
