In Response To: Starship Troopers (Anonymous Rex) Well I'm glad at least they modeled the stuff after Roughnecks. But many people think Halo rips off many other games and movies. Such as many of the marines lines in this game are similar, or are the same as Aliens Also, the Mark II suit looks a lot like the Doom Marines suit. It really doesn't matter to me though.. Seeing as how I absolutely LOVE the Roughnecks show, Aliens, and Doom. So hell, this game seems to be a mix of everything that kicks ass that I know of :D : I was watching Roughnecks, the CG program based on Heinlein's Starship : Troopers, the other night and noted that the mobile infantry looked very : similar to the Master Chief. : Here's a few shots of mobile infantry (check out the assault rifle) : http://www.roughneckchronicles.com/gallery/gfx/STIL0022.jpg : http://www.roughneckchronicles.com/gallery/gfx/roughnecks.jpg : http://www.roughneckchronicles.com/gallery/gfx/wiz05.jpg : I found a Roughneck's fan site which showed some concept art, including a : starship, the Valley Forge , to which I thought the Pillar of Autumn : bears a resemblance. I'll let you judge. : Pillar of Autumn (not the best shot - if somebody knows of a better one, I'd : appreciate them posting it) : http://halo.bungie.org/miscartimages/pillar.jpg : Valley Forge concept artwork : http://www.trooperpx.com/RSTC/PreArt/Valley1.gif : The Pelican dropship also bears semblance to the Roughnecks dropship, but I : didn't have time to find shots of either. Easy enough for others to do. : Anonymous Rex
