The other day I was watching the film Aliens. Holy crap bungie sure did like borrow a TON from that film. The dropships look idetical, as well as the marines. Also, the most glaring similarities were the lines spoken. "Hurry hurry the something is paying us by the hour," and many others could be heard. I also have seen the little joke that bungie put in on the first level (the billboard with a "missing cat: responds to jonesy" sign)
I have no problem with this though because Aliens and Halo are both sweet.

The cat reference is, in fact, a nod to Aliens.

i could also say they took the armor somewhat from the troops in starship troopers. but that goes for anything really.

Because, as we all know, Marines never wear the same uniforms as other Marines.
I'm tired of threads that say something to the extent of "Bungie stole from StarCraft" or "Bungie stole from <game/movie>."

I know
Thats why I dont accuse them of "stealing"
I thought that was cool for them to put that in
Also, this thread is not something that is accusing anyone of anything bad, I'm just saying that I noticed that.

Banana, I've read 3 things you've said tonight, none of which have had any thought content what-so-ever. Starship Troopers was great, even better than the book, if you ask me.

But Bungie has always "been inspired by" Alien. First, H.R. Giger did all the artwork/design for Alien, and he's the man. End of story.

Second, remember in Marathon: "I've got a bad feeling about this!"
hahaha. gotta love it.
