Halo didn't use Starcraft for inspiration. Most of it was from movies such as Alien,Aliens. If you look the Pelican looks alot like the Marine Dropship in Aliens. The scene in Halo CE where they first encounter the flood was taken exactly out of Aliens when the Marines go into the colony for the first time.
Sergeant Johnson is based ofF Sergeant Apone of Aliens. Halo CE's Marines (personalities and armor) are based off of Aliens as well. The Halo ring is taken from Larry Niven's Ring World Proof
The Covenant isn't based off of anything (the idea I mean, The Sangheili seems to be inspired by Samurai mixed with "The Predator" Yautja) The Covenant is the typical all powerful alien bad guys who are stronger then the protagonist humans.
If anything most of Halo's things are based off movies and other famous parts of Media. Also parts of Bungie's previous game Marathon inspire most of Halo also. Like the Forerunners to the Jjaro. The Jjaro were an advanced race of beings who millions of years before the Marathon games disappeared from the Milky way galaxy.
StarCraft was originally Blizzard's cancelled Warhammer 40k project. Thats why Terran marines look so similar to Warhammer 40k's Space marines.
So Terrans-Imperium of Man,other factions
Protoss- Eldar, Other Eldar factions
Zerg- Tyranids.
So theres that.
The Aliens also use a "hive" mentality, except with a Queen instead of a Gravemind.
Also, having aliens vs humans vs alien hive doesn't mean they copied Starcraft. Hell, AVP came out before Starcraft, so if anything, Starcraft copied AVP.
