The presence of the seminal FPS can be felt throughout much of Bungie&#8217;s new extraction shooter, Marathon, in ways both subtle and decidedly obvious. Acknowledging that Marathon and Halo are inherently intertwined by symbology, themes, and shared terminology, an echo of Bungie&#8217;s past work is also felt mechanically. Some of Marathon&#8217;s Halo-isms can be attributed to a house style that never left the studio\u2014weighty movement, low gravity, grenades that bounce ever so nicely.

We can tell what&#8217;s going on with these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-weapons-tier-list-best-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marathon guns<\/a>.The <strong>CE Tactical Sidearm<\/strong> is, as you can plainly see, a Halo pistol. Its grip shape, trigger guard, and snub-nosed profile are an homage to Master Chief&#8217;s signature sidearm. Also &#8220;CE&#8221;, as in Combat Evolved, is literally in the name, so there&#8217;s that. Notably, the Marathon pistol behaves less like the dominant magnum of CE and more like its nerfed variations in the Halo sequels. It&#8217;s reliable, accurate, and swapping to it is faster than reloading.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"gallery\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/bungie-snuck-a-bunch-of-halo-guns-into-marathon.jpg\" alt=\"marathon guns\" \/><figcaption><small role=\"credit\">Bungie<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/bungie-snuck-a-bunch-of-halo-guns-into-marathon-1.jpg\" alt=\"marathon guns\" \/><figcaption><small role=\"credit\">Bungie<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry, the studio still found a spiritual home for the Halo 1 magnum with the <strong>Magnum MC<\/strong>.
