Does he remind anyone else of the Space marines developed by the table-top wargaming company Games workshop back in 1987.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Marines_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29

A geneticly Modified human who poses extreme strength and wear power armour. Sound farmilar?

I was also thinking Starcraft brows EXTREMLY heavily from the races of the 40k Universe.

Just wondering who else agrees?

Master Chief is part of the Navy - he is not a marine.

The idea of a super powered human in an armour suit is not exactly original so it's kinda hard to say it's a clear influence.

Games Workshop didn't come up with the idea of power armor, it think it first appeared in Lensman which a old book from 1930's

No,

WH40k have the most twisted view of their franchise, its super original and everything else is base on it! Its as though they don't even realise what makes it different and instead focus on things that nearly every other setting has. Its like power armour... c'mon, its not even what makes the Space Marines unique.

I think if you were to remove his helmet you'd only find another helmet, he's like one of those Russian dolls.

actually they are quite different.

MC is only enhanced physicly and his armor has a shield generator

Space marines are enhanced physicaly but they also have 2 hearts and stuff like that, their armor is also nearly inpenitrable and lacks any shielding

I was waiting for that.

Though MC & I were the only ones Cortana would pick because we sport the 2 ton, 4000 lb. armor suit without sweating at all.

Of course I've just been playing around here. :)

Well, MC is extreamly weak compared to a 40K space marine. He also has no personality unlike 40k space marines.

Master Cheif is a power ranger. And that lil holographic woman is like Zordon, or whatever that guy's name was.

Jk guys, although I do think M.C. is the most unoriginal looking hero ever.

Ok just to clear this up I didn't mean the United States Marine Core.

I meant The space marines, the might of the Imeprium of man and the imortal emperors fist in the fight against the alien menace in the Warhammer 40k universe.

They were created as genetically superior humans........much like the spartans

Have a similar type of armour. etc

Did no-one click on the link?
