Pelican's Origination?

If you have ever seen the movie, Aliens, then you have probably noticed the exact resemblance between the dropship on the movie and the Pelican. Also, the marine's helmets look a lot like some guy's helmet in the movie. Just thought i'd let ppl know.

Yes, yes, fine topic, wrong forum. Moved to Halo Discussion

I noticed that ages ago, Bungie used loads of inspiration from Aliens. Such as when Burke calls Hicks a grunt. I also reckon they got inspiration from Starship Troopers too.

Yeah, they definatly got some ideas from Starship Troopers.

This topic should be LABLED *OT* at least!
Because you are mainly only talking about scifi movies where you found resemblences to things in Halo.

no. its all part of bungie's conspiracy.

has any one seen the predator?... not the one from the movie but the real one? from the us millitary? it has similaritys to a banshee.

and there are also similar dropships in that final fantasy flick... the spirits within.. similar plots too... infectious things that cant be killed very easily... impending doom... a guy who wants to kill everything to protect them... ya know? similarities. there every where (see signature) and the us millitary is making pelicans too-- and they say video games are bad shamless republican hipocrites

You have quite a good point there, I must agree.

Spartan III · Post by **Spartan III** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 6:24 am

Ah, yes, i just remembered it, the thing i wanted to say last time. One thing off Starship Troopers that Bungie definitely copied is:
That huge creature off Starship Troopers fires massive blue mortars, just like the beams that hit the Pillar of Autumn.

you do know that "assault rifle" is a real term and that the battle rifle is modeled after a real gun and flamethrowes exist, right? And Bridges are used on ships and so are sick bays....you are a dumbass

I saw Aleins, that's a freaky movie. I dont think the little transport has any resemblance but the weapons and ships do.
