Puma knight, Carswell, you should realize that one Bungie employee explicitly said it was a Biblical allegory, and yet another said that Jason Jones utilizes a lot of religious impetus.
It isn't looking too deeply at all if the creators made it that deep.
Games are just another medium of stories, just like music, just like movies, just like books. You can appreciate them at entertainment value, but many books, movies and much music is more than just entertaining.
can you provide a link to said source?
you may be right, I can't deny that, however, if this is in fact true it would be monumentally disappointing
if all this halo story was some bastardized parallel to an old book, itself a derivative of stories before it
I'm sorry, my judgement on this matter is extremely biased, for the same reasons yours are.
I laud your sober mindset.
Here are the links with quotes:
Christ Butcher said the story is pretty much an Allegory to the Bible.
ciber: How did you get the idea for Halo?
chris butcher: [...]
as far as the story, it can be looked at as a biblical allegory. the parallels are stronger than you probably realise, because nobody outside of bungie has more than a corner of the big picture. and we only have two corners. :(
Marty O'Donnell also said in an interview
Well we are religious guys, I think a lot of the religious stuff in Halo comes from Jason Jones, and the imagery is all him and he likes to fit it into the Halo story.
Any thoughts on that?
