Line 331:
** This is confirmed in ''The Cole Protocol'', when Regret realizes he'll be offed by the Prophet of Truth as soon as he finds no use for him, so he tries to get his own agenda fulfilled before Truth does. {{spoiler|Then the Chief punched him to death, and Truth didn't bother helping his fellow Prophet.}}
* [[Standard Sci-Fi Army]]: Naturally. Infantry dominate (from Light to Elite, and of course the Super Soldiers), although both sides use field aircraft and at least one Armored vehicle. Halo Wars expands on this, giving the UNSC Heavy and Elite infantry (the Hellbringers and Helljumpers respectively), APC's, and Anti-aircraft units. Several of the Covenant vehicles are effectively Technicals, being re-purposed mining equipment.
* [[Standard Sci -Fi Setting]]
* [[Suicide Mission]]: Occurs throughout the series, such as the Arbiter's first mission in ''Halo 2.''
* [[Super Prototype]] (Inverted with the Arbiter armor, which has a cloaking system inferior to the modern Elite armor, ditto with the novel ''Ghosts of Onyx''- the SPARTAN III's had the inferior Semi-Powered Infiltration armor, which lacked the shielding and strength-enhancements of the MJOLNIR suits in favor of some camouflage ability. Played straight with the Master Chief's armor in the first and second games, however - it is markedly superior to the 'standard' MJOLNIR suit due to improvements in shielding and the AI support system that Cortana represents.)
