Both Sergeant Apone and Sergeant Johnson have a strikingly similar appearance. Both are tough-as-nails, mustache-lipped, black, cigar-chomping, gung-ho Sergeants with a penchant for playfully mocking their Marines and spouting humorous one-liners, and Johnson occasionally repeats Apone's lines. Bungie admitted that Sergeant Johnson was inspired from Sergeant Apone.{{ | Both Sergeant Apone and Sergeant Johnson have a strikingly similar appearance.

During the Flood-themed levels in both ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' -- most notably [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]] and [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]] -- visibility is limited, and close-quarters fighting is common, such that the player is forced to keep an eye on their [[Motion Tracker]] -- a homage to ''Aliens''. This was pointed out in ''[[The Art of Halo]]''.{{ | During the Flood-themed levels in both ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' -- most notably [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]] and [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]] -- visibility is limited, and close-quarters fighting is common, such that the player is forced to keep an eye on their [[Motion Tracker]] -- a homage to ''Aliens''.
