*The headdresses worn by [[Sangheili]] [[Councilor]]s closely resemble the Alien Queen's head, albeit smaller and narrower. In addition, both ''Halo''<nowiki/>'s [[Covenant]] and ''Aliens''<nowiki/>' titular species have caste systems. Whereas the Covenant's is based primarily on race and religion, the Aliens' is based on their different life stages and host species. | *The headdresses worn by [[Sangheili]] [[Councilor]]s closely resemble the Alien Queen's head, albeit smaller and narrower.

In ''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'', the rocky, almost desolate terrain of [[Installation 04]] has multiple visual similarities to the surface of LV-426 in ''Alien'' and its sequel ''Aliens''. However, the terrain has a more significant resemblance to the surface of LV-223 in the film ''[[wikipedia:Prometheus (2012 film)|Prometheus]]'', which is set around 20 years before the events of ''Alien''. Coincidentally, ''Halo: Nightfall'' is produced by the director of ''Alien'' and ''Prometheus'', [[wikipedia:Ridley Scott|Ridley Scott]]. | In ''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'', the rocky, almost desolate terrain of [[Installation 04]] has multiple visual similarities to the surface of LV-426 in ''Alien'' and its sequel ''Aliens''.

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 three times in the ''Alien'' series by an infected host. Again, this may not necessarily be a deliberate reference. | 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 three times in the ''Alien'' series by an infected host.

In the level ‘Crows Nest’ after you emerge from clearing out the covenant in the hangar, and upon returning to the large cave like room filled with marines from earlier in the level you are swarmed with a large group of drones. The sergeant tells them to use ‘Short, controlled bursts’, a reference to the line from Aliens uttered by Hicks | |||
Hicks: Remember, Short controlled bursts. | |||
The similarity of marines being attacked by a large group of insectoid hive minded aliens, appearing from vents and ambushing the marines with this line uttered shortly after is an unmistakable reference to the Aliens gunfight in the control room later in the movie | |||
