It amazes me that this is talked about so little so far on this Wikia in general. The the links between Warframe and Dark Sector are fairly clear. I've never played Dark Sector, but this is what I've gleaned from a skimming of Wikipedia:

-Hayen Tenno is dark Sector's main character, and of course, teh Tenno are Warframe's protagonists

-Both games feature the Glaive, which in Warframe is described as "Dating back to the time of the first Tenno"

-Infested are infected by Technocyte Virus and yield Nano Spores, which are Technocyte tumors. The Technocyte Virus was also a part of the Dark Sector lore.

-Dark Sector "was originally intended to take place in a science-fiction environment, in outer space, with players taking the role of a character that inhabits a sleek mechanical suit with incredible powers." Sound familiar?

You can see and hear a number of carry-overs from the Dark Sector concept video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpr1DCQNyg4), including a mention of "solar rails", the Grineer, the Tenno drop ship thing, a robot that looks like The Jackal, general level design carry-over, and there's loads of sound effects that can be found in Warframe too. Seems pretty evident that they were originally intending to more or less make a single-player Warframe, but opted at the the time for a modern-day-ish setting instead of a sci-fi one.
