To me when I first picked up Halo I thought it was kind of like Starship Troopers. Humans Vs Alien race, futuristic weapons, the PoA looked like the ships in ST, the Sgt. Johnson acts like Lieutenant Jean Rasczak, ect.

I loved how the AR fired like the rifle in Starship, it actually felt like the same weapon, expect for the fact that the rifle in Starship had some sort of a "Shotgun" thing built in with it.

Also the giant bugs in Starship that fire Plasma shots out their ass look EXACTLY like Wraith shots in Halo. I think Bungie might have got the look of the Wraith shots from Starship.

Perhaps. I believe in one of Bungie's Weekly Updates they mentioned Starship Troopers in their list of videogames, movies, books, etc. that influenced their work.

Except that you don't fight a giant arachnid with armor-piercing limbs that take about an entire company of soldiers to bring down.
