No Freakin Way....

I think this was mentioned at some point in time (cant remember when) but Dark Sector and Warframe have got to be from the same universe, theres no doubt about it. I just bought the game Dark Sector cuz i heard that Warframe was inspired by it a bit, but then i saw the trailer from steam and was thinking "holy crap, Hayden Tenno, thats kinda interesting that the main characters name is Tenno". I kept watching and noticed later on that Haydens armor is the very same armor that Excalibur wears, kinda tripped me out a bit more, then i read in the description that Hayden was infected by the Technocyte Virus, the very same virus in Warframe that the Infested are made from.

 

I ended up starting to play the game and noticed the game icons are the same icons, just inverted colors and theres a robot similar to the jackal and hyena in looks, and its called the Jackal.

 

I also realized that as Hayden, you use a pistol and a glaive as you main weapon sets. Master of blade and gun perhaps?

They've stated (in their FAQ I think) that they're not part of the same universe, it's just a reference.

There are references, then theres...well whatever this is cuz references are small things such as names or quotes, not huge parts.

It's a spiritual predecessor. Have you heard of a game called Marathon? It was the primary inspiration behind Halo, and shares many of the same names, technologies, and places.
