Line 70:
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The Needler, Needle rifle, and related weapons shoot pink to purple crystals that detonate a few seconds after impact.
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: Captain Keyes looks ''much'' younger in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''Anniversary'' than he did in the original ''Combat Evolved''.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Not so much for any characters (the Covenant notwithstanding), but for UNSC ship names. The ones from the games are poetic and [[Cloudcuckoolander|a little bit weird]]: ''Pillar of Autumn'', ''Spirit of Fire'', ''Aegis Fate'', ''In Amber Clad'', ''Forward Unto Dawn'', and ''Say My Name''. But ships from the novels tend to have (more) normal names like ''Leviathan'', ''Fairweather'', ''Gettysburg'', ''Texas'', and (eventually) ''[[Dirty Harry|Do You Feel Lucky?]]''. The odd ship names are very likely a nod to [[Iain M Banks|Iain M. Banks']] ''[[The Culture|Culture]]'' universe [[wikipedia:List of ships
* [[Aggressive Negotiations]]: A Grunt nervously pulls this and starts the entire war.
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]
Line 435:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Guess who kicks the crap out of Master Chief & Co. after the following statement:
{{quote| '''Cortana''': "Also, be advised, Chief, that there are ceremonial guards in this temple - a race we have not encountered before. Roughly translated from Covenant dialects, they are called 'Brutes.' They shouldn't be a significant threat or they would have been used in previous military situations."}}
* [["Three Laws
* [[Time-Delayed Death]]: In ''Ghosts of Onyx'', Dante, after a particularly hectic firefight, offhandedly mentions "I think they got me." {{spoiler|''He then drops dead.''}} Upon closer inspection, it turns out that nearly ''half of his torso'' had been blown off, and he didn't even notice.
* [[Tsundere]]: Sif in ''Contact Harvest'' is a textbook version.
