I got the "grenades" quote during Crow's Nest while playing with IWHBYD on and got the other from a message board post. I dunno if they play normally or if you have to turn on IWHBYD. Can anyone confirm? [[User:Kriegsaffe No. 9|Kriegsaffe No. 9]] 07:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's only IWHBYD. Also, is "Say hi to Vera" an actual quote from Firefly? I mean, it's his gun in any case. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 07:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Clean up. ==

I'm trying to remove some unnecessary lines from the page, and generally fix it up.  My first real contribution in a while, heh.  However, I'm not sure about a few.  For instance,

*In the game, [http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefrontrenegadesquadron/ Star Wars: Renegade Squadron], if you play as a Storm Trooper, default secondary fire will be a blue dome that completely deflects enemy fire, much like the bubble shield.

may not really be a real reference at all.  It's just the concept of making a shield spherical.  Are we just thinking too hard into it?  Also,

*During the level [[H3:Crow's Nest|Crow's Nest]] in ''Halo 3'', a sergeant advises the marines to attack the drones above the barracks using "short, controlled bursts." This is a possible reference to a line from the movie ''Aliens'', although the phrase is used often relating to military firearms, and is not exclusively an ''Aliens'' line. 
*In ''Halo 3'', if [[Stacker|Gunnery Sergeant Stacker]] is infected by the Flood, sometimes he mutters "kill me" or "shoot me", which is a line uttered at least 3 times in the ''Alien'' series by a infected host. Again, this may not necessarily be a deliberate reference. 

If it's possibly ''not'' a reference, then why is it in the article?  And then, the line "I've got a bad feeling about this" evidently has two potential sources, stated in both the Star Wars and ''Aliens'' section.  Did Bungie just take it from both sources, or what?

*The "Attention Marines: South Pacific Duty..." notice is said to be another reference to ''Aliens''. 

"Is said to be another reference..."  Can we not have solid proof that it is?

*While landing the drop-ship, the female pilot can be heard saying, "We're in for some chop." ''Halo 3'' has an achievement called "We're in for some chop.” 

Now, most of you probably know I haven't played ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', and I haven't read ''Halo: The Flood'' in a while.  By, "While landing the drop-ship, the female pilot can be heard..." does it mean a female pilot in ''Aliens'' or in Halo?  I'd just like to have some clarity in that one before I alter the line too much.

Quick answers would be much appreciated. -[[User:Stigma-231|'''<font color="maroon">Stigma-231</font>''']] File:1220981198 Halo2emblemv5.ashx.jpeg|16px]] <small>[[User:Stigma-231/Guest book|<font color="dimgray">bury]] me in honour</font></small> <sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:Stigma-231|<font color="crimson">Talk</font>]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> <sub><nowiki>[</nowiki>[http://halopedian.com/Special:Contributions/Stigma-231 Special:Contributions/Stigma-231|<font color="crimson">Cont</font>]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sub> 20:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

:I was able to turn on ''Aliens'', so I listened for the dropship line. A female pilot does indeed say "We're in for some chop" in reference to turbulence. I'm not sure about other ''Aliens'' references you describe, but I agree with you about the ''Star Wars'' bit. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 21:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

:Is this irrelevant, as the list of scientific inaccuracies in halo? --[[User talk:ThePwnnisher|ThePwnnisher]] 02:56, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

:Is the huge list of ''Aliens'' references really needed considering we already have a page devoted to that one particular subject? [[ User:Brownie556 |  Brownie Was Here]] 20:55, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
