** What makes this ''worse'' is that some of the suplimentary material for ''Halo Wars'' reveals that AI's created by copying human neural patterns can still retain some memories of the brain's human life. Tali might not know what a flower smells like, but there's at least a tiny chance she can experience it, or just not know what it's like. Cortana might know ''exactly'' what she's missing, and that there is no chance of her experiencing it for herself.

* The mental back-and-forth The Chief does as he ponders The Rachni Queen's fate. Most players had an easy time picking one option or the other, but the Chief, as Major Ackerson and Admiral McAllister [[TwoLinesNoWaiting discuss in the same chapter]] is fundamentally ''broken'' and has difficulty empathizing with others, let alone aliens people know little about. The normally decisive Chief flip-flops on a matter of life or death to the point where he almost seems to be on the verge of a HeroicBSOD. His decades of training and discipline coming into conflict with his last few in-story weeks of character development, forcing him into a corner until he finally settles on something and inputs [[AmbiguousSituation some unspecified commands]]. Only an update will reveal what he has decided.

* In a happier moment of tear-jerking, the name of a sports team on Reach is the "New Alexandria Nobles." Noble Team, their battle against the inevitable, their heroic sacrifices... they are remembered.
* The Chief goes to visit the memorial on Reach where all the Fallen SPARTAN soldiers are remembered. ''All'' of them- not just the more well-known SPARTAN-II soldiers, but the SPARTAN-I soldiers (including Avery Johnson Junior) and the SPARTAN-III soldiers. Despite their background, despite their differences in missions... all of them are remembered in one place. Guardians of humanity, they rest content, knowing that they did their duty.

** When we finally get back to him, he tells The Councilors that he killed it, and Sparatus chews him out for it, naturally. [[spoiler: This is a complete and utter lie, however. He let the Queen go]].

** What really makes the above line hurt is that not only does Chief seemingly ignore it, but even the ''narration'' barely acknowledges she said it.

*When trying to work together to restore Peak 15's [=VI=], Tali angrily yells at Cortana about how synthetic lifeforms have made her people's life miserable, citing the fact that she'll never be able to experience normal life due to being stuck in a suit all the time. There's a pause before Cortana speaks.
