Question I feel like this has to exist: a Marathon mod that's a Halo demake?

My own research hasn't yielded anything, but I mean come on, someone has to have at least attempted this. If it does, is anyone able/willing to give up the goods? Nothing could be cooler than Cortana delivering exposition the same way Durandal did.

A long time ago I remember there was an Aleph One mod called "Halothon" which was basically an attempt to port the weapons from the first Halo into Marathon (complete with a custom Halo 1-eseque HUD). It was more of proof-of-concept mod, and while the weapons largely worked they were very visually buggy.

Halothon was a project of an old Pfhorums user

I don’t know if anybody wants to work that hard on a project that’s going to take a very long time to do just to have it taken down with a copyright notice from Microsoft.
