Mark Lima in an interview about its futuristic similarity to a fan-rival game Halo

"Not once did we think about ripping off a game thats published by the creators of Xbox, it's 500 years away from the halo universe, I honestly don't see why some people think we are ripping them off. You might as well claim that movies, and every other futuristic video game with Robots and other futuristic elements to be ripped off of halo too? I could list plenty, but thats not why I am here."

So, what were you saying?
