* FirstInstallmentWins: Fan enthusiasm seems to have moderately died down during Season Two; for example, every time a new episode of Season One was released, there was already a full fan transcription on [[TheWikiRule Halopedia]] almost right away, while the transcriptions for Season Two were still incomplete months after it ended, despite having fewer episodes than Season One.

* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Benjamin Giraud actually is a returning character from the ''Halo'' canon. He first appeared, unnamed, in ''ComicBook/TheHaloGraphicNovel'', as a photographer [[VideoGame/Halo2 who's in New Mombasa when the Covenant attacked]]. The comic ends with him giving up his place on a lifeboat for another survivor, [[BolivianArmyEnding making it seem as though he died in the city]]. With no followup to the story since 2006, most fans expected he was dead, and never thought once thought he'd come back being played by the comedy star Creator/KeeganMichaelKey.
** While many correctly guessed the young boy in the "Starry Night" trailer was John, there was only speculation on who the girl was and once again, nobody expected the commercial to be referenced again. It came as a shock to many that not only was it made canon, but the girl in it received a name, Ellie Bloom, lived to adulthood, and has been a recurring character.

* BrokenBase: The fandom has split into two on the stance on ONI. One side believes that ONI still has good intentions for humanity, while others say that they're just a straight-up villainous organization that stepped right out of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour.'' This escalated further with the final episode, with half of the fanbase furiously defending ONI and the other half openly saying that ONI ''is'' evil.

* {{HSQ}}:
** A post on the ''ARG/HuntTheTruth'' Tumblr showed what seemed to be a textless version of the ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' cover art. Then another picture showed that it was a heavily-edited photo taken by Benjamin Giraud in-universe during the game's events. The ''real'' picture looks very grim, with waves of Covenant ships and the smoking body of a dead marine nearby.
** In-universe, Giraud's weekly audio recordings are this, especially after he decides to upload them to the Internet.
** An in-universe ''and'' meta example for Episode 8: [[spoiler:Chief attacks a peace conference and kidnaps the head human diplomat for seemingly no reason, starting a firefight that ends with nineteen humans dead, with the diplomat's corpse found later]].

[[spoiler:Everything Ben has done, all the people he helped, all the sacrifices he made, are rendered meaningless when ONI arrests him for treason. As he is being arrested, he can only scream about how he wanted to help the Master Chief, his hero. Then when it seems Petra is more than happy to take up Ben's cause and fight ONI with everything she's got, [[YanktheDogsChain she gets caught by ONI too.]]

** Viewers of ''Series/KeyAndPeele'' know that Keegan Michael-Key is a ''very'' versatile actor, but up until now he had mostly played comedic parts alongside his partner Jordan. This series shows that not only can he do great on his own, but he can mine a lot of drama and likability out of a non-comedic and once-obscure ''Halo'' character.

* HilariousInHindsight: In one of ''Key and Peele'''s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcJV5J2dn4s Obama's Anger Translator]]" skits, Luthor (played by Keegan) brags about ''{{VideoGame/Halo 4}}'' all day if Obama doesn't get re-elected. Now, of course, he's a part of the ''Halo'' universe.
