Ok, I just never looked at it that way, guess that it really was just me.

For one, there are no aliens in section 8 and no powersuited super soldiers in ODST.
Secondly, any further similarities are superficial. Sure, in both games you drop down from orbit at some point, but ODST does it to service the plot and provide a neat cutscene. Section 8 uses drops as a spawning solution, taking the FPS where it should have gone during the early days of next gen. To rationalize this you then have the move to "powersuited super soldiers," similar to the cheif, but taken in a greater direciton with significant gameplay alterning customization to further the dynamic nature of the game that spawn dropping establishes, diverging from Halo's more aesthetically oriented take on the same basic concept (which by no means is original to that franchise).

I really want it. When is it coming out?
8-24-09, making it the perfect compliment to the campaign oriented ODST.

Isn't that trhe movie that was inspired by the failed Halo movie?
No, you're thinking of District 9.
