Yeah, the Helghast combat armors and most weaponry are extremely similar to those in Jinroh. However, it could be a coincidence. Both the creators of Killzone and Mamoru Oshii wanted a kind of futuristic SS stormtroopers. My idea to say it's a coincidence comes mainly from the fact that you could then say that Jinroh ripped Star wars, but it's just the same case. George Lucas, aside from being a big fan of samurai stuff, wanted Darth Vader to look like a nazi officer.

The soldiers in the military base in Ninja Gaiden are also similar, maybe that's more to do with sterotyping the 'futuristic soldier'?

Actually the Killzone soliders are directly inspired by the game. They didn't rip it off... they told everyone it was their inspiration!
