Line 16:
** Also, {{spoiler|Sgt. Forge's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: "And for the record, I'd have kicked your ass the first time if the lady hadn't stopped me!"
* [[Break Out the Museum Piece]]: By ''Halo Wars 2,'' a good chunk of the UNSC's arsenal (at least initially) would be seen as obsolete by "modern" standards. Justified in that the ''Spirit of Fire'' has been away for a ''long'' time.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: {{spoiler|The Flood}}, after being absent for several games, makes a return in the ''Awakening the Nightmare'' DLC expansion for ''Halo Wars 2.'' The Brutes also make a comeback, making up a good chunk of the Banished.
* [[Cold Sniper]]: Jerome-092 is listed as a Sniper in the game. He actually uses a Spartan Laser, but due to its long range and pinpoint accuracy it acts like a sniper rifle.
Line 37:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] / [[Unplanned Manual Detonation]]: {{spoiler|Sergeant Forge stays behind to detonate the Shaw-Fujikawa drive bomb}}.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Anders is a decided example.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: ''Halo Wars 2'' adds the Mantis and considerably larger Colossus for the UNSC forces, both of which fit much more closely to this trope. [[All There in the Manual|According to the lore]], they're evolutions of the Cyclops, combined with the technological developments in MJOLNIR armor.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Some of the new UNSC units in ''Halo Wars 2'' can come across as this, being either repurposed civilian vehicles or versions of existing weapons modified with more "modern" technology.
* [[It Has Been an Honor]]: {{spoiler|Jerome to Sgt. Forge}}. Stands out because the game's unlockables hint the two got into a fight after {{spoiler|Jerome suggested the ship kidnapping Anders should be fired upon.}}
Line 44:
* [[Lonely Piano Piece]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z89adFGjR3g Spirit of Fire]", the [[Leitmotif]] of the eponymous ship.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Vultures especially after the upgrade. Likewise with the Wolverine units.
* [[Mini-Mecha]]: The UNSC's Cyclops, which are mentioned as exoskeletons that were being developed prior to MJOLNIR [[Powered Armor]].
* [[Obvious Rule Patch]]: Vultures and Scarabs are already so powerful that they can not be driven by Spartans (aside from one campaign mission for the latter.)
* [[Orphaned Series]]: Or game at least, as soon as Robot Entertainment left 343 Industries treated it as a distraction at best. Averted however with the release of ''Halo Wars 2'', eight years later.
