=== ''Halo 3'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Arc Words]]: "Were it so easy."▼
* [[A God Am I]]: "My feet tread the path... I shall become a God!"▼
** The Gravemind apparently had delusions of godhood as well. Though they might not actually be delusions with him.▼
* [[After the End]]: This game kicks off just as the Covenant have killed nearly all of humanity, with the Flood not far behind.
* [[Alien Sky]]: Once you get to ''The Ark'', the sky features an entire ''galaxy''. Go ahead. Take a moment to stare at it.
▲* [[Arc Words]]: "Were it so easy."
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Master Chief and Arbiter pull this near the end of the game.
* [[Badass Boast]]:
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Cyber Cyclops]]: [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Brute]] [[Invisible Monsters|Stalkers]], the [[Replacement Mooks]] for the Stealth Elites from the first two games, have this look going on. Though you probably wouldn't notice, due to the fact that (a) [[Captain Obvious|they're invisible most of the time you fight them]], and (b) [[Unique Enemy|they only appear in two places throughout the entire campaign]]. Bonus points though for the eye itself being [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]].
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Many people in this game's beta ended blowing themselves up with a mine after attempting to reload their weapons, after being used for so long with pressing X. In more hilarious cases, they deployed mines below ''Warthogs''.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The first two games largely avoided the implications of just how many had died/were dying in the Covenant War, but this game has Earth [[After the End]] and takes an [[Anyone Can Die]] approach to the main characters.▼
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: The Spike grenades appear to be weaker versions of the plasma grenades, until you learn that their explosive pattern is conical from the place of impact. They're meant to be stuck on walls and around corners you can fill a hallway with deadly spikes that can kill from upwards of 40 feet away.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: The humans and Separatist Elites {{spoiler|and temporarily the Flood}} against the Covenant Loyalists.▼
▲* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The first two games largely avoided the implications of just how many had died/were dying in the Covenant War, but this game has Earth [[After the End]] and takes an [[Anyone Can Die]] approach to the main characters.
* [[Dual Boss]]: The two Scarabs in The Covevant.
* [[Duel to the Death]]: [[All There in the Manual|Brute society relishes in the chances to defend their honor in duels to the death]]. In the level "The Ark", a Brute Chieftain challenges [[Player Character|the]] [[Super Soldier|Master]] [[One-Man Army|Chief]] to have one with him, with even the formality of having all his Mooks standing in a semi-circle to watch you two fight. Guess who wins.
▲* [[Enemy Mine]]: The humans and Separatist Elites {{spoiler|and temporarily the Flood}} against the Covenant Loyalists.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: There are multiple hints towards {{spoiler|the rebuilt first Halo, including Guilty Spark's curious "Oh my!" when first accessing the Ark's computer systems and the control room showing ring 4 as incomplete (but ''not'' utterly destroyed, as it was after ''Halo: CE'').}}
▲* [[A God Am I]]: "My feet tread the path... I shall become a God!"
▲** The Gravemind apparently had delusions of godhood as well. Though they might not actually be delusions with him.
* [[I Like Those Odds]]:
{{quote| '''Elite:''' "Shipmaster, Brute Ships. Staggered Line. They outnumber us three to one!"<br />
Line 74:
{{quote| '''Prophet of Truth:''' I am Truth! The voice....of the Covenant!<br />
'''Arbiter:''' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|And so, you must be silenced.]] }}
* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Truth and Gravemind.}}▼
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Guilty Spark upon learning you intend to destroy the Ring.
{{quote| '''343 Guilty Spark''': [[Madness Mantra|UNACCEPTABLE! UNACCEPTABLE! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!]] Protocol dictates action! I see now that helping you was wrong! You are a child of my makers, inheritors of all they left behind. You are Forerunner, but this ring... is '''mine'''!}}
▲* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Truth and Gravemind.}}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Truth, Gravemind and {{spoiler|Guilty Spark}} ends up with this. {{spoiler|Spark}}'s crackdown is the scariest one.
