GameTap: Is the Legendary ending of Halo 3 a nod to Marathon, or is it a reference to Ghosts of Onyx?

Joseph Staten: It's more or less a nod to the beginning of Halo 1. Putting the chief back in his hushed casket, and shutting him down. Oh, wait, you mean the legendary ending of Halo 3 with the crazy planetoid thing? I don't know! There is a crazy planetoid floating out there. Who knows? If you look really, really carefully at the lights on the planet, though, there is something to be seen in those lights.

What could it be?

[Ghost]

Its probably a big, gigantic "4".

Well it is Ghosts of Onyx. The planet that is shown in the background is the planet Onyx. The planet shown in the beginning of Halo 2 about about the POA's escape from Reach in Halo 1. So it is about Onyx.
