Starship troopers was a famous novel from the 60's that in the year 1997 became a Sci-fi movie, everything you see in this trailer from the wepons and armor to story of aliens vs. humans very much resemble halo. If you've seen the whole movie like I have, it reminds you of Halo and the similarities between them.

So my question to you guys is do you think Halo copied Starship troopers?

Starship Troopers doesn't have the Halo rings, Master Chief, Spartans or the Flood.

wow...another newly created account to troll halo.

Only that Halo has style, Starship Troopers doesn't.

Lol

They have some similarities. I also see some similarities to Killzone 2 in there with those dropship things and how the ships are getting shot down.

But lets face it, which sci-fi shooter movies/games don't have any similarities?

This is madness!

Halo takes more cues from Aliens than it does Starship Troopers.

imo, the only real comparison is starcraft, which makes even more sense when you consider that it was supposed to be an RTS first.

Halo has many inspirational sources. Perhaps you should go back further and say Marathon copied something. Because Halo is very similar to Marathon.

you just cannot say that Halo copied StarshipTrooper's because In my Opinion, very many game's or iP's get their influence from other's works ESP. book's take TOLKIN'S :LORD OF THE RING'S pretty much every fantasy electronic game RPG or PEN an Paper rpg fantasy gamehas taken some influence from tolkin's works, that does not mean it was directly copied it just may mean it was a influence in their way of portraying something that they enjoyed from childhood, or from as an adult reading those book's.
