Subject: Halo storyline rip off?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.

Has anybody else played the Turok remake? Has it occurred to anybody that the game is pretty much a rip-off of Halo: CE's plot?
Let's see.
Character is having a dream (while in Cryo)
Get out of Cryo
Ship attacked
Escorted by crew member, they die in explosion.
Escape
Ship crashes on world
Fight off enemy soldiers
Fight off dangerous new, yet old enemy
-blam!- blows up
Escape from world in spacecraft
Possible sequel ending?
(later dual wielding and assassinations)

Have you considered how Halo ripped off things from Aliens and Starship Troopers?

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

And obviously Turok copied Halo in assassinations, even though it came out in 2008 and Reach came out in 2010.

and Halo is not the first game to dual wield, derp.

Nice, in a forum where we talk and converse about canon and Halo lore, we instead have people like you forcing conversation about -blam!- generic games like turok.

Get out.

Indeed, so Turok didn't rip-off Halo, it ripped-off Marathon.

Plus, the idea of Halo itself is from a book in the 70's.

Why don't you open your eyes and realize that there are many many sci fis out there long before the existence of Halo or Marathon that had the same general plot progression or plot device.

Aliens
Starship Troopers
Ringworld
Soldier
etc
etc
etc

To paraphrase someone whose said it before in this forum...all sci fi is derivative. None are truly original.

I can understand that Halo draws from Aliens and Aliens draws a little bit from Starship Troopers.

But I'm talking about the overall plot of the game. The way the plot is, it's Halo, but with dinosaurs.
