Halo and Aliens, especially Halo 1 are very very much alike, intentionally I'm sure. The assault rifle is exactly like the rifle in Aliens. Well anyway for those who didn't see the movie, there's a cat in the first movie, Alien, named Jhonsey. It got loose and ran around and screwed with the motion trackers and whatnot. I was playing halo1 just now and I saw a poster on the wall that said. "Missing calico cat answers to the name Jhonsey."

You sir, uncovered an egg perhaps.

I've also heard that all of the lines virtually came from Aliens for the Marines...

I saw that Jonesy reference a while ago, and I laughed myself silly when I did. Aliens is one of the best sci fi/horror series out there. All of the movies in that set ROCK HARD! My faves are Aliens (the second film of the series) and Resurrection (the last). They have great action and dialogue. It is high praise from Bungie to have worked in some references.

If memory serves, the cat reference comes in during PofA, it is posted outside of the Bridge, just before you nail the first 3 grunts of the game. Those posted notices can be hard to read, but there is alot of amusing stuff on the walls, machines etc that you can take time to look at when you are on the Pillar.
