I see a wheeled robot
and if anything was a War of the Worlds "rip off" it was teh Striders in HL2

What tall-legged robots? No

click next a couple times guys...there are 3 legged things walking around in the backround. Seeing those, I am gonna say "yes"

Last time I checked, the Tripods were described by H.G. Welles in his book which was first published in 1898...

Ok, yeah, those definitely look like the tripods from War of the Worlds. It's not like UT games have been that original, though, especially when you look at all the concepts UT 2004 borrowed from other games.

If you want War of the Worlds copy cat, watch Chicken Little.

Definitely disagree. As someone said, they were first described long ago.
