Dude, everygame is a compilation of different media references and influences. By your logic we should ban Mario for ripping off Alice in Wonderland.

Some of these things on your list are really stupid.

How does Halo rip off Nintendo and Sony? How does it rip off the PC!?!?!

How can they rip themselves off?

How can they rip of Battlefield, a series that started AFTER Halo?

Tribes, yes. Aliens, not really. CS, hardly. Mario, lol.

Although I gotta say, the races in Halo are very similar to that of Starcraft.

But the Bungie designers acknowledge all this, so it's not stealing.

How has Halo possibly ripped off any of tho's games? And how can a game rip off a company? You seriously lack logic. Weak flame bait.

Thats the only 3 things that you listed that can even remotly be considered close to what is in halo.  The Elites sorta look like the aliens and tribes in gameplay a bit.  Though Halo was in development about the same time tribes was then advanced through the times to what we got in 2001 so I doubt they copied Tribes in many ways if at all.  Also of course they used their past game for experience, why wouldnt they.

When I think about when I first played Halo and beating it with a friend on co-op, I remember it as one of my favorite gaming experiences. I don't remember thinking about how many games it ripped off. So I guess you can assume what you want by my reply.

look, i am a counterstrike and half life whore... i own every valve computer product except CSZ... i even own HL for the ps2 and a head crab hat.... and i even cant understant how halo has ripped off CS i mean i dont even agree with ur claim in regards to HL (the only similarity would be killing aliens)... and to say that halo has ripped off such and such is stupid... i mean compare it to literature, all stories have the same basic structure, and most stories have some roots in other author's' works like how many stories resemble Shakespeare's plays..... and i wont even comment on why the rest of your topics are stupid and your examples stupid, what i will say is if you so choose to make claims like this (like saying you invented the question mark) have some bloody evidence...

It's an annoying chain of topic spamming... Hammerofjustice. he disappears and germanshepard appears. he disappears and avidgamer appears. he goes to sleep and gufu appears now.

there should be a limit on how many threads a day you could make. this is a disease

You got to get your inspiration from somewhere, if you look closely you will notic that almost every game has something ripped of of other games... it doesnt matter, aslong as its not just the same game and they just put a few litle things in it and call it a new game. I dont care, the whole copying thing has gone out of hand... everybody copies.
