What are some things that you think influence Bungie as a developer? The community is pretty much a given.

I can see a vast amount of similarities between Ender's Game and Master Chief's personal story.

...I love Ender's Game. Oh and by the way... total similarity to Ender's Game indeed.

Also, the entire plotline of Noveria from Mass Effect was stolen straight from Ender's Game too.

I'm pretty sure they stole the entire plot of Halo from Harry Potter....

Positive vibes.

Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.

In all seriousness, I would say it is there fans that drive them the most.

There's definitely some influences from other sci fi in there. Firefly anyone? In addition to ODST and some of the cast being in the other games, humanity pre contact is frighteningly similar to the Firefly universe.
