So i bought this game in the app store on my Itouch,for 6.99, because the demo was really fun. And as I am playing through the campaign, I got the feeling that I've played this game before.

Here is why:

1) The main character is a soldier, and he has armor somewhat similar to that of a Spartan in Halo Reach.

2) The guy has a voice really similar to John/Spartan 117's.

3) He has a female AI unit helping him throughout the whole game, and she gets captured by the aliens, and he has to go and rescue her.(Like the flood level in Halo 3)

4)Him and his AI are trying to get to an ancient relic that the aliens are after. It is called a "Death Ring" and it will bring peace, by destroying everything. (Like the halos in Halo)

5) There is an enemy about the size of a brute, who yells like brutes do. He also gets pissed off when you shoot him and he charges at you just like brutes do. He also can use active camo like some brutes can.

I personally think they are stealing/using a lot of Bungie's ideas. What do you guys think???

He also crash landed in a life pod the same way Master Chief did in halo 1.

Bungie copied a lot of other games/movies/books. And on that note the Fall of Reach was basically an edited version of Ender's Game.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

Sounds like a blatant rip off.

However, so long as names are different it does not matter in the real of copy right infringement.

They also introduced dual wielding in N.O.V.A 2 which is also what happened in Halo 2. Have you seen the handgun in the game?! The title even screams ODST!

What is the soldiers name? This seems like a good game, but It's copying bungie, that's not right. Then again, Bungie copied other people in the first place. What company made Nova? Wait, I found something else! Nova is a Special FX in forge! A bad one at that, makes the screen impossible to look at...
