Title: Easter Egg > Septagon
Post by: ColdGlider on September 25, 2010, 15:25:58
While out-of-mapping on "Pillar of Autumn" I noticed the Seventh Column Septagon was pained on the side of the in-game Pillar of Autumn.  I've added this to our easter egg list (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/content.php?id=6003), and my little "mini article" is here:

Awesome, CIA.  Anyone up for getting us a hi-res in-game image of his badge in-game?  (That we can call our own?)

Not to digress too much, but a bnet commentor noted that the Marathon logo is now completely missing from Halo.  You can't even use it as an emblem.

His theory was that Bungie is trying to distinguish between their IPs better, to prevent confusion.

Which means.........

Yes, there isn't even a marathon logo on the easy campaign shield.

It means that they don't want people associating Halo with their Marathon logo too much any more, which could mean that they're currently working on another Marathon-Universe game and they want it to be independant from the Halo franchise.
Either that, or 343 wants to be able to completely take the reigns without being associated/confused with Bungie later on.
