Subject: gears of war similarities to halo

i know everyone here has played or heard about gears of war,and i was playing this morning when i realized it similarity to halo...

in game similarity:
-humanity is in war with a kind of creature and its lossing
-humanities only hope is a chuck norris kind of guy
-the locust(as the convenant) are in chaos in the 3rd game
-jaccinto (the gears of war equivalent to reach) fell, causing a great problem not only to humans(since like reach it was their last stronghold) but also to the enemy
-general RAAM and the arbiter(both soilder who got into great power in no time)
-in gears of war 3(like in halo 3),their is a civil war inside the enemy
-adam fenix and Dr. Catherine Halsey,they are both important scientists in the plot of their respective serie.
-the locust and flood,they look a lot a like,i'm serious!and no one knows were they came from,but they are huge treat to humanity.
-one of the variants of the locust horde is called brute...
-the lancer and the ma5 assault rifle are the series most known weapons
-and if i continued counting the similarities in-game, i could not list the real world similarities..

real world similarities:
-they are shooters
-they are trilogy
-they both released a triple pack
-both are shooters(in the case of halo,fps,in the case of GoW,tps)
-they are both xbox and xbox 360 exclusive titles
-both have millions of fans
-both have inspiration on sci-fi novels like starship trooper,dune and many more
-technally i can come up with any other one i can prove

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

The Lambent are a lot more like the Flood than the Locust are.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

The COG made locusts to unite Sera and give an excuse for war.
Precursors made the flood, or some other extragalactic creatures.

Read the cog tags on this level. and the "Ammo Requisition Form" Cog tag.

And Who else would have created the flood.

I made this same comparison to my friend who is a gamestop employee and had him rofl'ing all over the store for like ten minutes.

The scale of locust architecture suggests they were around for a very, very long time. Besides, they only attacked after the Pendulum Wars ended.
As for the flood, I haven't read Cryptum, but I believe you're just guessing.

Exactly.
And you can deduct that the cog performed experiments on people to create the sirens from act 3. You can even follow the creation of the locust queen from the cog tags on that level.
And in the Ammo Requisition Form it is hinted that the cog supplies the locust.
(The ruins could be from an older civilization that was destroyed by a disease/ internal war/ Chuck Norris.)

And I don't want to ruin cryptum for you, but the "last precursor" says something that hinds toward that theory.
