• Anticlimax Boss: Guilty Spark.
• Best Boss Ever: The dual Scarab battle on The Covenant. Probably the coolest battle in the series.
• Best Level Ever: Uh, can I nominate the entire second half of the game for this?
  • No. That would include Cortana.
  • Then "The Covenant", where Master Chief and a small army takes out two Scarabs. And there are not cutscenes for that, you have to pilot something onto the backs of those things and blow them up yourself.
  • The Storm is the best level in the first half.
• Complete Monster: Truth is far beyond redemption by this game.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The level "The Covenant", where you get an amazing shot of a battlefield you're about to be in (complete with two Scarabs and a whole lotta Banshees!) while having a lovely Crowning Music of Awesome.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: The Easter Egg from versus play when you have flipped over an Elephant. "Hold RB to flip... wait, what?? How did you do that???"
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In Cortana:

Master Chief: You know me. When I make a promise... Cortana:...you...keep it. I do know how to pick 'em.

• Fridge Brilliance: Cortana says the reason she chose Master Chief over every other Spartan is luck. Check out what happens to Noble Six, a SPARTAN who is as equally skilled as John, in Halo: Reach, and her statement reverberates in hindsight.
  • The policy of the military is that SPARTANs never die, they just listed as MIA. That's exactly what happens to Chief in the most literal sense.
• Fridge Horror: If Gravemind wasn't in such a hurry to get to the Ark, the Flood would have had plenty of opportunity to infest Earth and wipe out what little remains of humanity, leaving the Chief and company backing up a graveyard while they were preoccupied with Truth.
  • Well, they did try to, dropping off an infected Covenant cruiser in Voi, which would have quickly taken over the entire planet had it not been for the Chief overloading the ship's reactor and Half-Jaw glassing the immediate area before anything could escape.
• Memetic Badass: In Halo 3 multiplayer, the Cone. In the first days of release of Halo 3, a player shot the energy barrels of the level, and was subsequently killed by a flying traffic cone. SPARTAN-II are afraid to tread near them.
• Moral Event Horizon: Spark crosses it when he kills Johnson.
• Nightmare Fuel: Contrasting the previous games, now the Marines (and any Covenant, really) can be "Floodiefied" in real-time. Yes, they turn them into Flood in your face, with a touch of Body Horror.
• Tear Jerker: Many.
  • Johnson's death.

Sgt. Johnson: Send me out... with a bang.

• • Miranda Keyes' death.
  • The Arbiter's refusal to believe that Master Chief is truly dead.
  • The final line of the trilogy: "Wake me... when you need me."
• Villain Decay: The Prophet of Truth goes from a Magnificent Bastard to.. Well, the Prophet of Regret.
