In the tenth | In the tenth season episode "I Ain't No Holodeck Boy", Stan and Steve Smith enter a virtual environment and Steve is subsequently equipped with body armor which is clearly inspired by both [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and the [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|UNSC Marine BDU]]. Steve is then armed with a rifle, the icon for which is identical to an [[MA5 series]] assault rifle. | ||

In the background several guests are playing ''Halo: Reach''. The screen is briefly viewed, and in-game sound effects can be heard throughout the scene. Careful listeners can discern the sounds of [[armor lock]], [[M9 fragmentation grenade|M9 frag grenades]], [[MA37 assault rifle]]s, [[M395 DMR]]s and [[Type-52 focus rifle]]s. | ||
*In the sixth-season opener, "Valkyrie", Detective Esposito (Jon Huertas - Trooper 1 in ''Halo: Reach'') hassles Castle for being away, saying he's missed "three ''Halo'' nights." | *In the sixth-season opener, "Valkyrie", Detective Esposito (Jon Huertas - Trooper 1 in ''Halo: Reach'') hassles Castle for being away, saying he's missed "three ''Halo'' nights." | ||

*In the third | *In the third season episode ''Go Your Own Way'', while camping out in Miguel's office, Dexter entertains himself playing ''Halo 3''. This is a joke where he narrates about setting up to kill people, something we imagine he's preparing for Miguel, but it turns out to be a game. Oddly, the game is played on the computer, which while not impossible, is unlikely to have been set up in such a way as the game itself has no computer port. In addition the sound effects are different. Oddly enough the stats were actually recorded on [[Bungie.net]]. The game was played [[Rat's Nest]], with Dexter playing as someone called Badpunisher33, against someone called nmagoose.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=748234214&player=BadPunisher33 '''Bungie.Net Halo 3 Game Stats''' ''- Dexter game'']</ref> | ||
