Line 33:
* [[Car Fu]]: "Roadkill!"
* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: Behold, the following:
{{quote| '''Cortana''': "This thing is falling apart!"<br />
'''Master Chief''': "It'll hold."<br />
'''Cortana''': "We're not going to make it!"<br />
'''Master Chief''': "We'll make it."<br />
'''Cortana''': "Pull up! Pull up!"<br />
'''*Crash!*'''<br />
'''Cortana''': "... You did that on purpose." }}
* [[Co-Op Multiplayer]]: If Master Chief is the lone protagonist hero of the game, who is the carbon copy Player 2 is running around as? {{spoiler|In the Expanded Universe Novel of the Events Master Chief's fellow Blue Team member Linda is fatally injured but placed into Stasis with him.}}
Line 86:
* [[Psycho Strings]] / [[Drone of Dread]]: Typically used in music associated with the Flood, such as Shadows (Between Beams), Suite Autumn (Suite Fall), What Once was Lost (Unfortunate Discovery), Lament for Pvt. Jenkins (Private Service), Trace Amounts (Bad Dream), Library Suite (Dewey Decimate), and Alien Corridors (Xenoarcheology). The ''Anniversary'' remastered tracks especially turn up the horror factor.
* [[Publisher Chosen Title]]: As Bungie's Jaime Griesemer explained in a retrospective ''[[Edge (magazine)|Edge]]'' article, the developers didn't come up with the "Combat Evolved" part of the title:
{{quote| "Microsoft marketing thought ''Halo'' was not a good name for a videogame brand. It wasn't descriptive like all the military games we were competing with. We told them ''Halo'' was the name. The compromise was they could add a subtitle. Everyone at Bungie hated it. But it turned out to be a very sticky label and has now entered the gaming lexicon… so I guess in hindsight it was a good compromise. But the real name of the game is just ''Halo''."}}
* [[Reactor Boss]] / [[Unplanned Manual Detonation]]: {{spoiler|Cortana sets a counter to detonate the Pillar of Autumn's engines... and 343 Guilty Spark stops it. Master Chief then does it with rockets and grenades.}}
* [[Red Shirt]]: The ship security officers from the first couple of levels. They have less health than even a Grunt, and are armed with pistols (if at all). They even wear red (and yellow, and orange, and blue, and on the bridge, even black) uniforms.
