The enemy of my enemy shall die next.

I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

Brown chicken Brown cow!

Noticed the similarities between Halo and the film Aliens? I'm not complaining, I like the film. I just want to see how many similarities there are.

For example, Sgt Johnson is the Sgt from Aliens.
In Aliens, when they get out of the cryo tubes, the Sgt goes of on one "...another day in the corp is like a day on the farm...etc" one line he says is

"cmon people, the corp aint paying us by the hour"

Sgt Johnson uses the same line on the level to get to the grav lift (I forget what its called).

Who else has some?

I was watching tv about the Marine Corps (corps but the s is silent) and the guy said the corps doesn't pay by the hour, omg they say that in Halo too, i doubt anyone cares.

I care, that's probably part of the reason I liked Halo CE so much as Aliens was my favorite movie. I noticed right off that the AR looked like the weapons used in Aliens. The things they said, the Pelican looked a lot like the dropship, ext, ext.

If u can search for posts by me you ll find the original. It was probably in repsonse to some prick stating its an American game amercianised. I simply stated Aliens was directed by an Englishman( R Scott ) and the inspiration for Bungie MUST have been Aliens and Starship Troopers. The Nostromo has been ripped straight into the POA.

Did anyone ever wonder why a handful of marines occupied a big ship like that with no flight crew or staff in the Aliens film?

Starship Troopers? I don't think that movie has inspired anyone, seeing as it is a total rehash of a bunch of science fiction cliches.
Aliens has been influencing Bungie since the beginning, though. Marathon began as a game focused around the motion sensor, and the creepy atmosphere is definately inspired by the movie.
