L Ron Hubbard: Sci-fi? The real money is in religion! *gets brainwashed by OWN propaganda* Wow that was weird...
But, Halo had been in "da works" since before Perfect Dark. It's not a ripoff in any way I can sense, except off the FPS genre in general. Goldeneye invented plenty that Halo didn't even bother using, and every single thing Halo DOES use (missions consisting of getting from point a to point b and killing whatever gets in the way, capture the flag and those other standard multiplayer modes, even da vehicles) has been done in other games, before Perfect Dark.
The problem is, Halo did NOT steal anything from Perfect Dark. It looks cliche, the sound is stereotypical, the rumble is annoying, even the disk smells like burnt popcorn and I have NO idea why. It's basically offensive to all five senses.
Bungie: But that's only 4.
Yeah well, you know how when you smell something it kinda gets stuck in your mouth and you can sorta taste it? Yeah, I can taste it now and it's aweful, like salty garbage, truly disgusting.
Bungie: *licks self* Yeah I taste it too!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
