Ok well i was just on halopedia, ok guys so i know that everything on there might not be true.

It got me thinking though i had completely forgot about Dutch from predator, and since i guess Dutch is friends with Romeo that they are like Dutch and Dillon from predator, I guess if you haven't seen the movie you have no clue what im talking about. I'm a huge fan of the movie and it just got me thinking when i saw it on halopedia. Dutch kinda acts like Dillon in a way but its hard to tell when we haven't seen a lot of anything let alone the way Dutch acts.

What do you guys think? is it Plausible or just a shot in the dark?

No flaming please.

My favorite movies of all time are the Predator movies and the Alien movies. And then they came up with Alien Vs Predator! I think yes. They seem similar. *Shrugs* =]

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Elites = similar to predators

Ya They do look similar, I think that the people at Bungie really like the movie to. To bad elites are not in odst.

Get to the Choppa !!!!!!. Its funny i saw predator the other week and i kept think about how much the Predator looked like the Elites with the mandibles and everthing.

I can just imagine at the end of the campaign Dutch saying:

""Get to the Brute Choppa!!!"

  • 07.01.2009 9:35 AM PDT

The body shape of an Elite is more like an alien but it has mandibles like the predator. And about the question... It has been much too long since Ive seen the movie to remember. Sorry

  • 07.01.2009 9:35 AM PDT

Elites look like a mix between alien and predator.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

That and the ODST and Elite Drop Pods are inspired by the Predators Drop Pod.

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

Dillon looks exactly like Johnson. So does a Sargent from Aliens. I noticed that Dutch thing like a week ago too, but then soon after (like 5 min. later) I forgot.

  • 07.01.2009 9:46 AM PDT

I'm somewhat confident that the character Dutch was named in honour of the character from the first Predator movie.

I could see it also just being a happy accident for them.

Ya i think it wasn't as simple as a coincidence also Dillon really does look like Sgt. Johnson.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

god do you people have such a misconstrued idea about what emo is.

Oh please enlighten us. We all want to know how misunderstood you are.

I'd say Dutch was more based on Jayne from Firefly, he's like the muscle of the group and also the weapons guy. From what I've seen of Dutch, he is very similar to that. Also he is voice by the same actor who plays Jayne (Adam Baldwin).

And I think we all know how big a fan of Firefly Bungie is (from their girliness over Nathan Fillion in the update). :D

Although he may have been named Dutch in tribute to Predator.

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

Elites are what would happen if Aliens and Predators ever mated.

Although how that is exactly accomplished we can only speculate.

"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother"

Ya I bet they did name Dutch after the main character for the Predator movie.
