* [[All There in the Manual]]: Everyone who has played ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' already knows why the Covenant attacked New Mombassa and what they are looking for, but the cast is kept in the dark the entire game.

'''Jim:''' Wha- You did ''this?''

* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: Parts of the game are symbolic of Dante's ''[[Divine Comedy]]''. Two of the biggies:

** Virgil: named after Dante's companion, he is the Rookie's guide for most of the game, as well as telling you the story of what happened when you where asleep in your pod.

* [[Sergeant Rock]]: Buck is a near-textbook example of the archetype. He has served in the ODSTs for a long time with a proven success record. The game even says, "if he were any better, he'd be a [[Super Soldier|Spartan]]."

* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: Engineers give its allies overshields. The shields dissipate when the Engineer is killed, so it is in your best interest to aim for them first, making the rest a bit easier. There are achievements both for doing this and not doing it in the hub level.
