Line 37:
* [[Justified Tutorial]]: Master Chief gets an upgraded armor system (Mjolnir Mark VI) that gives an [[In-Universe]] explanation for some of the gameplay changes (no more need for health packs, supposedly there is an internal "bio foam" system). As well, the technicians have him look around to get adjusted to the new armor.
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Covenant vehicles in this game, more so than the other games. Do enough damage and they violently explode. Twice.
* [[The Missingno]]: The Gravemind mission has the "Honor Guard Councillor", a Zealot (gold) elite that was accidentally programmed to have a "dogmatic" voice/personality; since the level has no permutation data for dogmatic Elites, it defaults to Honor Guard armor and Ultra palette, with randomly chosen head types(most frequently the Councillor, hence the nickname).▼
* [[Neo Africa]]: New Mombasa, Kenya is a high tech city and spaceport. At least, when the game begins.
* [[Retcon]]: Master Chief (with Cortana) was the only human to survive the destruction of the first Halo. The Legendary ending of the first game even gave a (humorous non-canon) scene depicting Johnson's last moments before the Autumn exploded. This game just has him show up in the medal ceremony with no explanation given. The expanded universe had to explain how he survived.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Right Hand Versus Left Hand]]: The Covenant infighting between the Brutes and the Elites leads to a schism in the Covenant and basically the only hope for Humanity's survival.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Also one of the most infamous ones in video game history.
▲* [[The Missingno]]: The Gravemind mission has the "Honor Guard Councillor", a Zealot (gold) elite that was accidentally programmed to have a "dogmatic" voice/personality; since the level has no permutation data for dogmatic Elites, it defaults to Honor Guard armor and Ultra palette, with randomly chosen head types(most frequently the Councillor, hence the nickname).
* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: The E3 demo (and the advertising, ''and'' the boxart) gave the impression that the game would be set on Earth's surface. The final game had a grand total of two levels set there.
** In a more straight version of the trope, the "Give them back their bomb" sequence in the trailer has Earth in '''''much''''' more trouble than in the actual game, in which the Covenant barely stick around for. Earth's on fire? Not really.
