How is that a ripoff, and even if it is in the slightest way why does it matter?

Its more of a Snowblind ripoff then it is a Halo one. Not every FPS revolves around THE ALMIGHTY HALO SERIES *runs of screaming in fear of getting bashed by a fanboy*

I think you (if you want) should be more concerned about how these new games arebeginning to "evolve" in a similar fashion from regular FPSs; case in point, Timeshift and Crysis. Timeshift you can do all that junkwith your suit and you can also alter your mobility and power with the nano suit in Crysis.

Despite the FPS "evolving" through Timeshift, it's gameplay is still boring as hell, the time shifting is only fun for awhile. This is ofcouse only my opinion.

That doesn't mean they will be more fun.I'm more of a Halo, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six kinda guy myself.I like more realistic kinda shooters.

The demo was amazing and that cover does not remind me of Halo, but maybe Haze a little.

I meant to use "evolving" extremely loosely with Timeshift. Also, Jimmy, I didn't say they were gonna be more fun, although Crysis looks pretty damn fun.

Uh, I really don't see how the cover is a ripoff. Yes, maybe inspired by Halo, but not a total ripoff.

Anyway, I don't really care, the demo was OK; I'm sick of FP shooters.

Samus Aran has almost the same helmet too. And she had it first so both copied off her. :P Maybe Smaus' helmet isn't as ovular but they do look somewhat alike.

To answer the question, No, this cover looks nothing like Halo's.

I don't understand the Haze helmet. Why would you cover your whole face with glass in a warzone?

TS helmet > Haze helmet

It's not the exact same model.Compare them first.The only similarity is that both are yellow.

The only thing it rips off from halo is how mind numbingly boring it is. Next gen should mean gameplay improvements to, not just graphics damn it!

I hate Halo, so naturally I'm going to disagree with the question entirely. Period.
