To be honest, there are some parallels with StarCraft. Let's not forget that Halo was originally to be an RTS in the same vein as StarCraft....

I HIGHLY doubt Halo is based of any game, let alone StarCraft. The only game I know some of it is based off of is Marathon.

Halo has input from tons of popular games, movies, and stories.

Alien, Starship Troopers, etc.

It looked more like Myth to me. I'm not sure, but I believe thatthe story for Halo was actually written somewhere around the time Stasrcraft was released, so we may be dealing with a number of coincidences. Still the differences outnumber the similarities.

True. I wasn't saying Halo is based on StarCraft, there are just some parallels. Plenty of differences though....

^This time go back and actually read my post ^

I've actually set up a use map settings game type in starcraft where the zerg are flood, protoss are covenant, and Terran are human. I modified all the units names, hit points and stats so it was actually quite fun. Alot of people played it too.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

No, the idea of AVP was done years before Halo, and the crossbreed obviously thought of.
