* StillbornFranchise: Not ''Halo'' itself, but Spartan Ops, which never progressed past a first season. Overall reception to the first season was [[BrokenBase lukewarm]], with much debate about it replacing Firefight, its level design, the storyline, and the lack of Master Chief. Doesn't help that the story was written into a corner by [[spoiler:the destruction of Requiem]]. Other comics have progressed the story of Majestic Team, including [[spoiler:killing [=DeMarco=] and promoting Thorne to team leader.]]

* PropRecycling: Of a single-work, single-level example, though it is so subtle that it is practically unnoticeable. In the level Reclaimer, the [[BaseOnWheels Mammoth]] includes an amount of textures and geometry shared with other human vehicles and weapons, only exploded and scaled. For examples, the wheel mountings share color-shifted textures with the Warthogs, and the hand rails in the interior catwalks use geometry from battle rifles. This was not done out of laziness, but necessity, since the level was just so big that they had to use these ways of stretching the memory budget as far as they could due to the finite memory of the Xbox 360 console.
