What are the origins of halo? Is it books? or is it a old game?

 

[herbanassault]

What gives you the impression it has origins? It's a typical first person shooter. What are the origins of Duke Nukem?

It's origins are a couple of smart programmers over at Bungie and Microsoft who made the first episode of the trilogy back in 2001 originally only for the Xbox...

Origins, well development origins anyway. Going back to 1998 for Windows and Mac.

The only thing I know is that I was realy looking forward to that game when I read about it in PC game magazines. And then came microsoft who needed a hit game for launch and bought the rights

It has loose roots in the Mac game, Marathon. Marathon was/is a very good Doom-like 3D shooter.

More like: Microsoft bought Bungie because they needed a killer app for the original Xbox.

Back on topic: the Halo world concept was probably lifted from the Ringworld books.

The concept of Bubble Bobble was first mentioned in The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. Some general rules and description were given, but they were rather vague.
