Line 383:
* [[Generation Xerox]] - Well, if you consider having your brain cloned and then used to create an AI as having an offspring, Dr. Halsey and Cortana definitely qualify. {{spoiler|Particularly when we finally see Dr. Halsey in person in ''The Package''---she looks exactly like Cortana's hologram and says several of her lines word-for-word.}}
* [[Genius Bruiser]] - Spartans, Elites, and to a lesser extent Brutes. [[All There in the Manual|Hunters, too]].
* [[Good Job Breaking It Hero]]: During the fall of Reach, Admiral Whitcomb re-purposes one of the UNSC's new experimental [[Earthshattering Kaboom|NOVA Bombs]] and leaves it booby trapped so that if the Covenant took it back to one of their planets, it'd induce massive casualties. By the time the bomb detonates however, the Covenant is fractured under civil war and ending up annihilating a major reorganizing fleet of the faction that ended up siding with Humanity.
** Though it is possible that if the fleet remained, they wouldn't have been desperate enough to side with the humans at all.
* [[Hand Wave]]: Though there is a decent-enough explanation for why Sgt. Johnson was able to resist getting nommed by the Flood, it's never really explained how he, Lt. Haverson, Cpl. Locklear, and PO2 Polaski were able to commandeer a Pelican despite being separated from other UNSC forces on Halo.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Admiral Cole sure gets one when he fins out that {{spoiler|his wife and the mother of his child, Lyra, is a high-level Insurrection operative.}}
Line 414 ⟶ 412:
* [[The Metric System Is Here to Stay]]
* [[Necessary Drawback]]: The Spartan I training program was a mixture of [[Training from Hell]] and chemical enhancements but didn't result in a significant battlefield improvement. The Spartan II's had [[Training from Hell]], chemical enhancements, cybernetic augmentation, and a custom-built [[Powered Armor]] but because of the high risk of deformities and death from the implants (low "graduation" numbers) it was deemed to not be cost efficient. Spartan III's (the subjects of Halo: Reach) were a balance between the previous programs to get higher numbers of [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]] that could affect the tide of battle.
* [[GoodNice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: During the fall of Reach, Admiral Whitcomb re-purposes one of the UNSC's new experimental [[Earthshattering Kaboom|NOVA Bombs]] and leaves it booby trapped so that if the Covenant took it back to one of their planets, it'd induce massive casualties. By the time the bomb detonates however, the Covenant is fractured under civil war and ending up annihilating a major reorganizing fleet of the faction that ended up siding with Humanity.
** Though it is possible that if the fleet remained, they wouldn't have been desperate enough to side with the humans at all.
* [[Novelization]]: The first game has one, titled ''Halo: The Flood''.
* [[Psychic Static]]: A way of fighting back the Flood if you ever get infested and [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped.]]
