YMMV: Halo The Fall Of Reach
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Catherine Halsey – is she a benevolent scientist who is trying to give the kids a better life and, by extension, save the human race from extinction, or is she just a cold-hearted and methodical bitch who has a near-complete absence of moral fibre and is simply a Well-Intentioned Extremist?
    • Cortana herself wonders if Halsey is pure evil or a Well-Intentioned Extremist after learning what the Spartans went through as children. Her conclusion? Perhaps a little of both.
  • Complete Monster: The Covenant. Dear God, the Covenant.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: John and the 12-year-old Spartans taking down a bunch of soldiers guarding a Pelican, in full military gear, with nothing but winter clothes, a fake broken leg and a bunch of rocks.
    • The prologue, when Blue Team takes down a thousand Grunts, four plasma turrets, and five Banshees using nothing but what they brought to the battle with them.
    • The Keyes Loop, all done without an AI. That's right, he guessed calculated not only the math needed to pull it off, but correctly predicted just how the enemy would react to his seemingly crazy stunts. Keyes was known as 'The Schoolmaster' but this feat proves just how he can school his foes in space; Easily.
  • Tear Jerker: The deaths of Sam and Linda, though the latter does come back.
