just to say a few words about halo

I think some the game was insipired by the alien movies for starters:

sgt johnson he is just about the excact same as the black sgt in the aliens movie and some of his line i can't rember them all but i remember is on level 3 where he tell the men to go and the core aren't paying us by the hour

and the flood are like in a simlar to the xenomorphs(aliens) like the little infection form are like the facehuggers and the combat form are like the aliens warriors, Plus they both need other being to become more.

all i can think of for now but if anyone else remember a line sgt johson said thats sound like and a line from the aleins movies or an opion on the flood are simlar to aleins please be my guest and say something

if you Wiki Aliens(movie) it will say that some of the characters and lines from Halo were based off of the movie. Some of the lines are from the movie.

To me, the Flood are somewhat reminiscent of the monster from The Thing.

The Marines are also quite similar to those from Aliens and Starship Troopers.

Covenant elites are like the aliens from the film... uh... alien.

The flood are a lot like the Zerg from Starcraft, made even more obvious by the introduction of Overmind... I mean Gravemind in Halo 2.

:D

Ya, it seems really close to Starcraft. The Flood infects the bodies of victims by changing the DNA sequence, and the Zerg modify the DNA sequence of animals by burrowing little tiny worm creatures in the spinal cord and breeding with the copied code.

And the Overmind/Gravemind? They're almost exactly the same. The way they look, and the way they control the Flood/Zerg.

Also elites have shields, and so do the Protoss. I haven't played starcraft in some time, but when i used to, i used to imagine a game with the halo units. I don't mean one of those cusom gametypes with different names and stats, but actually a halo RTS.
