'''Master Chief:''' "[[Badass Boast|To give the Covenant back their bomb]]." }}
The second game in the ''[[Halo (
Following the events of the first game, Master Chief arrives back at Earth, praised as a hero. In the midst of celebration, a Covenant attack begins on Earth, and Master Chief races to stop them. He learns that the Covenant are looking for something on Earth, and his quest takes him to a new Halo ring, where he explores more of the mystery behind The Flood.
Line 31:
* [[Determinator]]: Meta example. The only thing that ended ''Halo 2'''s online gaming scene was the original Xbox Live servers getting ''shut down''. The game was launched on Nov 9th, 2004, and the servers officially shut down on Apr 15, 2010. Officially, that is; several players hung on until getting booted on May 11th.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: The first game to have a set of weapons that you can randomly pair with other designated one-handed weapons.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: An example map in the PC port includes a version of the SMG with a slightly-smaller magazine and a suppressor. This silenced SMG returned in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' as the primary weapon of the titular ODST squad.

* [[Made of Explodium]]: Covenant vehicles in this game, more so than the other games. Do enough damage and they violently explode. Twice.
* [[Neo Africa]]: New Mombasa, Kenya is a high tech city and spaceport. At least, when the game begins.
Line 59:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Nearly a third of it was cut out due to wasting time on the engine. For one, it was supposed to end the series. For two, ''[[So Cool Its Awesome|Forerunner Tank.]]''
** ''Forerunner Tank'' was a level that was cut from the game very early in development. That said, it gained the above trope because of what the developers said about it: "Awesomeness would ensue."
** Not to mention the demo of the game. It appears that everything they had in the demo that ''wasn't'' used in Halo 2, was used to make an entirely new game; [[Halo 3: ODST]].
