I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg
Josh Holmes is the Creative Director behind Halo 4. He was also the Director of Turok (2008).
Both games involve the protagonist waking up out of cryo in a space ship. The ship gets attacked by a familiar enemy and crashes on a strange alien world. The hero arrives on the alien world in the rear end of the ship. The protagonist fights familiar enemies along with some "ancient evil."
Anybody else notice this?
BTW I found the plotline of Turok to be very similar to Halo. Hero wakes up out of cryo. Ship gets attacked. A man who is telling the hero to follow him gets killed by an explosion with an immediate tutorial on crouch walking under objects. The hero along with some soldiers arrive on the planet (with the ship crashed) and fight off an ancient evil along with familiar ones.
In the end, the hero along with 2 other survivors make it off the planet in a very small craft with no cryo tubes. If I remember correctly, only 3 people survived Halo: CE, John, Cortana and Johnson. Now there were other characters but they died in First Strike.
