''Aliens''<nowiki/>' Ripley begins and ends two of the franchise's movies in cryo-stasis, much like the Chief's beginning in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ending in ''Halo 3''. Both Ripley and the Master Chief begin their respective franchises in a large ship with other people, and both end up alone in a smaller shuttle with a non-human (Ripley with Jonesy and the Chief with Cortana). Both characters also seem to be a rarity, in that they can survive encounters with the Xenomorphs and Flood, respectively. | ''Aliens''<nowiki/>' Ripley begins and ends two of the franchise's movies in cryo-stasis, much like the Chief's beginning in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ending in ''Halo 3''.

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]]. | |||
