I Have Noticed this while thinking hey this is simler to Robert A. Heinliens Star Ship Troopers. IF you have not read this book it discribes Power armor and drop pods. Veary simler to the MarkV & Mark VI armors. Also they have Drop pods that are in Both HALO 2 & ODST. The Moble Infantry are much like ODSTS. I Have wondered Did Bungie use Heinliens concepts in createing HALO. I Belive so. MR. Heinlien Wrote that book in the 60's. its a classic. He is up thare with Issac Asomov. and other greats of that time. (Commander Throws up a bubble sheild throws an energy grenade for an explosive bubble PaRtaY) see ya Next time Over.

Ya know i was trying to say on topic and forgot that part. The Starship trooper movies were horrable. For those out thare who think the movie is what the book is about. They are veary much diffrent. It's like compareing a grunt to a spartain. Heinline never wrote horrable books.

Finding the love of my life, and moving house really screwed up my gaming orientated lifestyle.

I actually did like the first movie but yes the other two were really bad. Even so the movies dont even come close to measuring up to the standards of the book. =(

I bet Bungie could have made Starship Troopers like the book in Game form or as a Movie. The first movie had great speshal effects but no storyline.oops i am getting off topic had to edit. any who. I just wanted to add that bungie made the HALOverse Diffrent.It is unique, thare is none like it. But Mr. Heinlien put out these concepts in book form. Many to Day look at his work as insperation.
