Don't the Marines in Halo represent those in the Aliens series; or the armor at least? I know Alien had a great impact on the Halo franchise.

Halo was influenced by the AvP series. But that doesn't take away from anything.

I always made an association with the Aliens and The Flood. I never associated Predators with the Elite until later.

I've always looked at the marines from Halo as being a mix of the marines from Aliens and Starship Troopers.

Lewl, You should see the similaritie between Starship Troopers and Halo. It's much closer than Aliens, or at least the marines and star ships are...

Starship Troopers is definitely an influence.

There are obviously similarities between the two universes, but they won't have all been intentional, they might have taken inspiration from various different sources, but honestly, they're marines... They're always going to look similar to something. The only thing I really see as a design that was borrowed was the Dropship's similarities to the Pelican.

I noticed a glaring and rather funny similarity between Sgt Johnson and the Sgt in Aliens.

3 years and only 1 ban, try harder next time noobs.

Halo CE marines were in fact based off Colonial Marines from Aliens.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Side note: Aliens: Colonial Marines look awesome.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Dialogue from Aliens was copypasta'd straight onto Halo Combat Evolved.

Seeing as Aliens basically defined the science fiction genre of movies I'm not suprised. But you want a more striking comparison? Watch Starship Troopers then play Halo.
