I was watching Aliens (the sequel for those who dont know :-\) and noticed a lot of similiarities. The ship they used to get in looks like a pelican, they also have radar. One more thing is that when the "pelican" is flying in to the colonial base, the land outside looks like the teaser pic of the first multiplayer maps. I am also thinking since that a lot these bungie people are fans of the movie, this wouldnt be a suprise. Also not saying that they are copying it completly.

The original Halo had sooooooo many similarities it wasnt even funny...well actually it was...kinda. Ahem, anyway, if you watch the very first cinematic in Halo1 it seems remarkably Aliensesque, and then Sgt Johnson is (kinda) similar to the sgt in Aliens. Whilst though there are similarities, Halo was way better than Aliens, and I really love the Aliens movies. AS for Halo 2, if there are more similarities, as long as it is good I dont really care.....

Halo does have some things which are similar, and it's quite cool actually, however they are two totally different stories. Actually the PoA looks like that carrier too.

Halo is REALLY similar to Aliens, even the Pillar of Autumn looks like the Sulaco. The Marines are almost exactly the same (Sgt. Apone and Sgt. Johnson for one!).

PS This should be moved to the Library forum, this is the Halo 2 forum.
