  • From Origins: Part 1, the Forerunners going to war. Here's where we get to see these ancient alien beings in action for the first time, and the end result is nothing short of glorious.
  • The battle in "The Duel". One Arbiter vs. hundreds of Covenant, including a Wraith and 3 supersized Hunters? Curb-Stomp Battle on the troops, 3-0 against the Hunters, and he even manages to take out one by outright launching the Wraith at it.
  • Prototype. Ghost uses a prototype, upscaled suit of MJOLNIR armor with built-in weapons, and uses the time left before its self-destruct mechanism activates to allow his men to escape. The suit resembles a Gundam, in both appearance and the scores of Covenent it takes out. Badass on so many levels.
    • To be precise, it's actually based on one of the Marauder Suits from Starship Troopers, both in design and combat style.
    • Bonus points for that voice filter Ghost uses when he casually pulls up alongside the lowly Marines.
    • Ghost earns those points and more for pulling off a Delayed Causality with a freaking MISSILE of all weapons: firing one at a passing Banshee that just narrowly clipped its wings without exploding, only for the alien craft to erupt into a fireball just several seconds afterwards. A FREAKING MISSILE!
  • "Darkness born in eons past became a threat to all life once again. And humankind and the Covenant who had drowned for so long in each others blood, were united if only for the briefest moment against a terrible enemy they both shared. Righteous souls continued to fight, believing that they could defeat the darkness. And as they fought together, they stumbled together, into peace." All the while, we're shown scenes of the Covenant and the UNSC fighting alongside each other against the Flood, while Sacred Icon Suite 2 blares in the background. Badass.
  • The sequence in "Origins" of the Covenant and Humans fighting against the Flood. The sight of both species putting aside their differences and working together to defeat the universe-threatening scourge that is the Flood? Epic.
  • Dutch, Cortez and O'Brien taking down a Brute Chieftain after it seriously wounds Cal with its gravity hammer note .
  • Every single moment of "The Package." After numerous shorts with Bittersweet Endings, a Spartan strike team led by Master Chief 117 himself is shown launching an attack on a Covenant flagship to rescue Dr. Halsey, Cortana's template...and as they charge into battle, the sound of the franchise's main anthem swells up, letting us know that this time, things will end better.
