* BoomHeadshot: A vital mechanic for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES Zapper]] which only deals one damage on a body shot but is a OneHitKill upon a headshot.

* SmartBomb: One of the possible effects of the [=D20=] grenade is to play an extremely loud [[Platform/{{Roblox}} "OOF"]] sound accompanied brief flash on the screen, followed by everyone besides the player in an extremely large radius immediately dropping dead.

* SpreadShot: The [=M808B=] Scorpion is replaced with a "Quality Tank" which has two barrels pointed off at a 45-degree angle from each other. On the plus side, the coaxial machine gun is much more powerful.

* NonStandardGameOver: Failing all three questions of 434 Passive Aggression's math quiz at the ending of "The Library" will have him ReasonYouSuckSpeech to the player and the door will remain locked, soft-locking the level.

* NonStandardGameOver: Failing all three questions of 434 Passive Aggression's math quiz at the ending of "The Library" will cause the game to outright crash.

** The [=M6R=] Reverse Throwing Pistol. Clicking the fire button [[CaptainObvious shoots yourself]], you instead have to ''hold'' the fire button and release it to throw it. This results in several darkly hilarious instances of marines immediately blasting themselves between the eyes while fighting the Covenant and even Captain Keyes shooting himself in the head as the Flood attack in the helmet recording.

* BackwardsFiringGun

* BlownAcrossTheRoom: The best part is all of these effects can be amplified with the "Sputnik" Skull if playing on the ''Master Chief Collection''.

* TheCameo: During the Halo Kart sequence, one of your rival duo teams is, for no particular reason, [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] and [[Manga/{{Dragonball}} Goku]].

* DualWielding

* HomingProjectile

* InterfaceScrew

* PatheticDroopingWeapon: The Flaccid Sniper Rifle, with a drooping barrel and "impotent" x1 magnification scope. In-game, it has a massive reticle and is so inaccurate that it's practically a miracle if you hit anything with it. [[DontExplainTheJoke Apparently this happens to one in every four snipers]].

* StealthPun: One of the multiplayer maps, "Derelict" has been changed so all of its textures are a strange bumpy purple texture, and is cited as being a "very 'normal' map."[[labelnote:Explanation]] "Normal Maps" are off-coloured secondary textures that help give a stronger illusion of depth to a surface by telling the lighting engine to place shadows and highlights in a particular way in relation to the player's view and light sources within the map. The map's textures are all literally the normal maps for the basic map textures converted ''into'' the basic map textures.[[/labelnote]]

* FlyingCar: The [[BlatantLies Normal Warthog]] whose wheels turn downward, allowing it to fly [[Film/BackToTheFuture without the need for roads]].
