Freaky similarities between Starship troopers and the halo saga.
Honestly, I believe Bungie got a lot of insipiration from alot of the ideas in ST. For Example...
Main weapon in ST [url=http://www.bugsinmyhead.com/img/fro_morita.jpg]looks similar to a B.R slash Assualt rifle.[/url]
Bug Bombs [url=http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/102/1028155/top-10-movie-space-battles-20090925082938274.jpg]remember the opening scene in Halo C.E.?[/url]
Marines

spaceship [url=http://www.starshipmodeler.com/other/jb_tac_hero.JPG]looks earily like a pelican, except for the color[/url]
There are also multiple references in starship troopers to "glassing a planet."
Starship Troopers came out in 1997, Right about the time Halo C.E. was being developed. I'm almost positive they took some inspiration from this film.

Bungie also got the Halo ring planet thing from a book called Ring World. Let me look it up. EDIT: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld]Here ya go.[/url] [Edited on 07.07.2011 8:26 PM PDT]
