* BigBadassBattleSequence: while the ''Halo'' TV show has had impressive action scenes in the past, this ''entire episode'' is devoted to the Covenant invasion of Reach.
* BottleEpisode: the episode focuses exclusively on the UNSC's efforts to hold Reach. Anyone who isn't directly involved in the fighting (Parangosky), has already bugged out (Ackerson), or is elsewhere (Kwan Ha, Laera and Kessler) just doesn't appear, though their names remain in the opening credits.

* BroughtDownToBadass: This trope is evoked through the Spartans being without access to their armor. They are still augmented SuperSoldiers with added strength and trained in every weapon available, but demonstrate a [[NervesOfSteel cool head]] and fast decision making that makes them perform well above the regular marines around them.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In canon, Captain Keyes was infected by the Flood on Installation 4, and John gave him a MercyKill to prevent him from being completely taken over. In the Silver Timeline, Admiral Keyes performs a HeroicSacrifice to unhitch the fuel lines to the last transport leaving Reach, and kills the Jackals by detonating the fuel tank.

* PointOfDivergence: While the initial point was ONI hiding the truth about the Covenant's invasion from the public, their actions cause further changes to the Fall of Reach where Chief and Silver Team have no armor thanks to it being taken during their evacuation. This lack of extra protection results in Admiral Keyes dying on Reach to save civilians rather than making it to Installation 4, and Cortana being captured by enemy forces instead of being on the ''Pillar of Autumn'' by the time the invasion began.
