Bungie was first with the big orb concept
In a Sparkast in July 343 said they have been developing Halo 4 since 3-3.5 years so since sometime from January to July 2009. ODST was [url=http://www.destructoid.com/halo-3-odst-has-been-finished-since-may-148646.phtml]already finished in May 2009[/url] and as many of you know it contains a [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/destiny_awaits.jpg]hint[/url] at Destiny and the spherical alien ship (aka "the Traveller"). That means Bungie had propably thought of the Traveller before 343 came up with the Didact's Cryptum. BAM!

Skyfall and The Dark Knight have about the same synopsis and plot summary, and so does Star Trek (2009) and SW: A new Hope. Halo had a lot of similarities with Ringworld (mainly the [i]ringworld[/i]) but it managed to break its way far from what Niven's work was as a whole. Plot synopsis, etc, might mean something when it's all one knows, but as soon as the universe starts to roll, their importance usually fades. Unless Destiny will include hive minds and psychic powers.. I'll say it's just as safe as Halo was from being a Ringworld rip-off. I'm pretty sure Bungie will add enough to make the similarities diminish, even if some similarities weighs more than other and will remain apparent throughout. I don't know what the OP is on about though.. Sure, the Didact's got a round Cryptum (ovoid in the book), but that doesn't say anything. [Edited on 12.06.2012 9:37 AM PST]
