I believe the concept for Halo began somewhere in the late 1990's, mabye 1998 or so. Hence any simililarity between Halo and AvP is either coincidental or perhaps the AvP people were the ones who did the borrowing.

Subject: The origin and ideology of Halo

For argument sake has anyone sat and pondered how close the storyline, plot and screenplay of Halo closely mimmic that of "Alien vs. Predator"? I mean think humans, predators and aliens. Now think humans(master chief), The Covenant, and of course the Flood. Also how the pods drop out of the sky and elites(supreme predators trained to hunt) jump out. You might even say the active camo is similar to the predator's translucent camo. Or maybe you've noticed that predator's shoulder beams looks like a plasma beam. Finally if you have to much time like me you'll watch the predators ship in AVP and notice that when approaching earth the screenplay is also played in halo. So what now? Do we suit up Arnold in a lime green tactical suit and name earth's first Mater chief for the next human vs. predator vs. alien movie? For the record I'm not stating plagarism but brillance. I love both medias and say to bungie keep up the good work. Sorry for the grammar mistakes

i always thought AvP was very similar to Starcraft by Blizzard, not Halo. You know, zerg=aliens, protoss=predator and terran=humans.
