In Response To: Halo came before SC.... (Virus_232) : so, ya. Not quite. The term 'ark' is something that clearly Ubisoft did not invent. The 'Ark' that Bungie uses in Halo 2 is not a rip off of the 'Ark' device in Splinter Cell any more than Halo 2's submachine guns are a rip off of Heckler and Koch's world-famous MP5 submachine gun. They're all comepletely different things. Nothing Bungie has done is a 'rip off' otherwise it'd be Copyright infringement. Sure, some themes and general ideas are used, but to claim that Bungie just 'copied' a specific game or novel implies that the storywriters and designers just plagarized their work. I give the folks at Bungie mad props. Even if CashMoneySoft ownz them a n00b. Can't always run from the 800-pound Gorilla.... |
