fear the chicken

I have found that many of the object from Halo look like stuff from the 1986 movie Aliens. Some of the similarities are the aliens. In Aliens they're call xenomorphs in Halo there called elites the only different between them is the tails, tounge, and acid blood. Some of the other similarities are the marines I have not found any different between them. Then theres the Aliens dropship and Halos pelican the only difference is the guns on the Aliens dropship. One of the last similarities is the battle cruiser in Aliens and the frigate on Halo but the last similarities are the sargent. In Aliens its Sgt Apone and in Halo in Sgt Johnson. The last thing I want to say is that Aliens was made in 1986 and Halo was made 1999.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

It is quite obvious it has similarities is outfits and looks. Plus it mad Halo awesome so I wouldn't complain.

Halo: CE was inspired by Aliens. It's in the interviews.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Heavily inspired by Aliens, also predator, starship troopers, battlestar galactica were all mentioned, If you think about it the whole bungie team grew up watching sci-fi and then when they came up with game ideas it's natural that a lot of ideas would end up being straight copies.

You can't ever be completely original.
