Halo my butt.

Starship Troopers 0.1

If you're going to make a reference, go back to one of the canonical references of the genre, not some trite video game.

That was like a drive by shooting. An Ice Burn even.

If I was KJMoon I'd change my name to something else or go to some other tech website.

Wow.

E.E. Smith came up with it in 1937, in the Lensman books.

Get your facts straight before you attack someone else]]>Nov 25th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/25/sarcos-military-exoskeleton-becomes-a-frightening-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/25/sarcos-military-exoskeleton-becomes-a-frightening-reality/I never said Starship Troopers invented the genre,I said it was one of, if not the, canonical references of the genre. There's a world of difference between them.

Halo, however, is just riding on the coat tails of TONS of other works in the genre.

- So, either Wikipedia is inconsistent (shock, horror!) or powered armour isn't a powered suit.

It's more like Alien than Terminator at the moment, then it'll be more Halo, before it'll become Terminator.

Mind you, it sounds like it's built (at the mo) for the exact same reasons as the Alien missile loader.]]>Nov 25th 2007 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/25/sarcos-military-exoskeleton-becomes-a-frightening-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/25/sarcos-military-exoskeleton-becomes-a-frightening-reality/
