Well Jesus Christ, I'm sorry for having an opinion everyone, I'll be sure and just go along with what other people say for the rest of my life and see how far I go. Probably about 15 miles into the nearest trailer park, where I would live and feel how I felt about things because people told me that was how I felt and how I should live. FUN!
OK. I don't really care, Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War and Halo are both great games. Plus, because the story is similar, it doesn't mean they stole it. Coffee009
Oy! You need to learn about the subject before you go flapping your mouth. I said Warhammer 40,000; which is (sadly enough) quite different from it's computer counterpart Dawn of War. There is such thing as a table top game.
That certainly is a part of it. But honestly, -Great Good vs Great Journey. -An alien floating a sleekly curved hover-chair with a large crown(ish) thing on his head vs the same. -Drones vs Vespids, which seem to be nearly the exact same thing; flying bugs with sharp claws who shoot things in fairly large numbers. There are some similarities that are simply too obvious to be coincidence. What is the Covenant in Halo 2, for example? A large congregation of various alien species united under one master race, the Prophets. And the Tau Empire? A large congregation of various alien species united under one master (sub)race, the Ethereals. That was my reasoning, but feel free to disagree with it. P.S. didn't the Ethereals win over the Tau with a story of 'The Greater Good'? Also, they seem to be rather eager to crush anyon who won't side with them, as do the Covenant. P.S.S. sorry about all this editing, but it seems the Kroot and jackals are similar as well, with the exception of the shields.
There! I said it, the covenant backstory in Halo 2 is suspiciously similar to that of the Tau if you ask me. I would be glad to explain to anyone who disagrees/wonders what I'm talking about. I would have put this in an original Xbox forum, but I didn't see one.
