As u see that thing open up in the Halo3 trailer....it kinda looks like the bottom of the alien ship in 1996 Movie ID4. When the ships open up to destroy all the cities. The side panels open and an energy beam is emited...and if u recall the way High Charity looks like it also looks like the mother ship in ID4, maybe not exactly or whatever but very very similar...what do u all think?

Holy crap...i can see where you're coming from, in a wierd way,HC does look like the mothership thing(only cause half of the thing is a hemi-sphere) and the ark/saucer similarity thing as well....but the saucers had like a umm....uhhh...dongle? that fired a death-ray-explody-beam...

I liked ID4 too!

Umm...where was this said? He was simply stating that there was a resemblance between those. Kinda like this one

Predators=Protoss=Covenant : the dudes with a bunch of really cool technology


Aliens(ya know, the movies)=Zerg=Flood :The swarms of evil crazy things!


the superhumans from Star Gate=Xel'Naga=Forerunner : The god-like super race that went bye-bye for some reason

Does that mean anything? Nope, they are simply ideas that are re-used, also, does that mean every FPS is a rip-off of, lets say the first Doom?(assuming its the first FPS)


Sorry, Im in a kind of ranting jackass mood i guess
