4* The Legendary ending. Rogue Cortana has ''a [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Halo]]''.
5* It's hard to say which is worse: Cortana is still rampant, or she's ''not'' rampant and just [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity mad with power]]. Either way, when she shows her true nature to Fireteam Osiris, her ranting and sneering is just ''chilling''. Even worse is that she's utterly convinced she's in the right, that the Spartan-IV's and their kind deserve to ''die'' and that Chief will agree with her when she wakes him from stasis in 10,000 years.
6* The ''Argent Moon'', the derelict ship of the eponymous second mission that Blue Team is sent to recover from Covenant forces. At first, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Covenant found it and killed everyone aboard. But it turns out the ''Moon'' was already a GhostShip long before Kig-Yar scouts stumbled upon it. ONI scientists had been working on an airborne bioweapon, and it somehow got loose. The result, as hinted by numerous dessicated corpses with an odd residue beneath them, was everyone aboard the entire vessel dying horrifically. According to a record by the shipboard AI, those who were at ground zero for the containment breach (who died instantly as their soft tissues ''liquefied'' as a result) were "the lucky ones."
7* Hearing the Jackals [[AliensSpeakingEnglish speak English]] for the first time in the franchise is a little jarring.
8--> FAAAALSE ARBITER! KILL! KILL!
9* There's an EasterEgg on the multiplayer map "Rig". While the trigger for it is simple [[labelnote:*]] After GroundPound-ing a platform in the BottomlessPit in the middle of the map, you shoot two cores coming out of their silos, on the edge of the map.[[/labelnote]], the result isn't. You hear [[HellIsThatNoise a piercing screech]] as a rig on the horizon is suddenly lifted from below by ''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a titanic]] SandWorm that makes Literature/{{Dune}}'s sandworms look like maggots.'' One can only hope that no one was on that rig.[[labelnote:Then again...]] This is just a simulation. Someone in charge of the simulation’s programming was probably messing around. Therefore, it isn’t likely that the sandworm even exists outside of the War Games simulation. [[/labelnote]]
10* As Cortana extends her offer to cure the rampancy of all AI who join her, suddenly Fireteam Osiris hears the voices of hundreds of Smart [=AIs=] all across the galaxy speaking up to pledge themselves to Cortana. The real scare factor is not only hearing all these voices overlap, but the realisation that a key element of humanity's interstellar infrastructure has turned against them.
