Subject: Halo's flood = Mass effect's Reapers?

Has anyone noticed the similarities?

1. Very old beings who kill all life in the galaxy.
2.Assuming Unlimited numbers.( Reapers would have a certain number but we don't know how many)

I'm blanking on more similarities, but is this common knowledge or coincidence?
Does anyone else have any other things that they are alike?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

= Doctor Who's Daleks
= Firefly's Reavers
= LOTR's Orcs
= Aliens' Aliens

etc etc

A lot of fantasy/sci-fi monsters have the same goals, don't just think that ME and Halo are similar because both are derived from other aspects of science fiction works.

"Bet you can't stick it"

A parasitic life form that infects its host and then uses the bodies (and collective knowledge) to form a Gravemind. Compared to mechanical(synthetic beings)that have no beginning or end and indoctrinate the hosts to serve them. I don't see a resemblance.

Care to remind me who the Adjutant are? It's not ringing any bells, and I know my ME lore.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

I'm more interested in the connection between the two when one considers that the Reapers purposefully unleash themselves to wipe the galaxy of sentient life every 50,000 years....so that's more like the Halo array.

We should know better, because we are better.

As far as space faring villains go they are about as different as one can get. Reapers are all about machines and annihilation, preceding cold tactics and subterfuge. Flood are organic and assimilate using tactics often but just as likely to run at you brandishing their arms yelling BLARG. Flood are essentially what the Reapers want to kill.
