Am I the only one to notice the similarities between Sergeant Johnson, and Sergeant Apone from Aliens?

Similarities:
1:Both sergeants
2:Both smoke cigars
3:Both are African American
4:Both give a helluva military pep-talk
5:Both are future Marines from science fiction

Halo was influenced by many sci-fi sources. Aliens was one of them.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Sgt. Johnson is supposed to be a reference to the sergeant in Aliens

That's kind of what I thought, just wondering if anyone else saw it.

It sucks how Apone gets captured by the aliens in the movie right off the get-go, pissed me off since he's one of my favorite characters

Not to bust your chops, but yeah, lol.

Notice not only the comparison to Johnson and Apone, but the marines' gear from Aliens and the marines' gear from Halo: CE.

Also, the Pelican and the transport ship from Aliens...

Then there's the Flood infecting the host via infection form, and the Facehugger injecting the host with a Xenomorph...

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Halo was heavily influenced by science fiction films such as Alien. They have said so themselves.

And the dropship pilot saying, "We're in for some chop," being the name of an achievement in H3.
