First off, the Pelican is almost identical to the one used in Aliens.

On the level 343 Guilty spark, when you get to see the cut scene in the middle of the game it is a lot like the one taking place during the landing on LV-426 in Aliens. i.e. cocky marines trash talking right before they land.
The first part of 343 just shows that there have been some fighting but is now derelict, some places are barricaded. You also get this eerie feeling that the winner of the fight is still lingering somewhere, awaiting to attack.
during the mid cut scene you hear the famous;
"I've got a bad feeling about this"
"Boy you always have a bad feeling about something"
And then BOOOM! Right into the fighting! Panic and shouts like "They're everywhere" "They're pouring from the walls" etc.
The panicking marines and everything is just like the first meeting with the aliens in Aliens.
And then we have the flood. A parasitic race, evolved as a bioengineered weapon. They are parasitic and attaches themselves to their host and are considered so dangerous that they must all be killed or else it will just spread. You get the same feeling about the flood as with the aliens, if they spread they will wipe out all living life in the galaxy.
They are both hive creatures, aliens had a queen, the flood have the gravemind.
For those of you who have seen "Aliens" by James Cameron, compare the first fight sequence in the movie with the helmet cam sequence of the first encounter with the flood.
To me, there are far too many similarities to be a coincidence.
So to me, it seems like the flood is just a rip-off of Aliens. What do you think? Am I right or am I wrong?
Halo:CE is still, and will forever be, the best game since Goldeneye on N64
