===Destiny 2===
*After completing Dares of Eternity, which was released during the 30th Anniversary event in Season of the Lost, Guardians can obtain several weapons from the Halo franchise. The Other Half void sword and Half-Truths arc sword are both reminiscent of the [[Energy sword (fiction)|Energy Sword]]. The Retraced Path solar trace rifle is reminiscent of the [[M'tara-pattern focus rifle|Focus Rifle]]. The BxR-55 Battler solar pulse rifle os reminiscent of the [[BR55 battle rifle|Battle Rifle]].
*Guardians can also obtain the Forerunner Exotic sidearm, which is reminiscent of the [[M6D magnum|Magnum]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. The location to obtain Forerunner is found in a cryo pod, which is referencing how the [[John-117|Master Chief]] awakes from cryo sleep during the [[Covenant]]'s raid on the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' in the beginning of the same game, and also how [[Cortana]] awakes him from cryo sleep as the aft section of the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]'' approaches [[Requiem]]'s orbit at the beginning of ''[[Halo 4]]''. If Guardians complete the objective and upgrade Forerunner with the catalyst, they are able to throw [[M9 fragmentation grenade|Frag Granade]]s after landing a final blow with Forerunner.
**Also, in the lore tab for Forerunner, Banshee-44 indirectly references the Master Chief.
*GJNKR, an ornament for Gjallarhorn, is reference to the [[M41 SPNKr]].
*One of the arcades can be heard making [[Sangheili]] sounds while exploring the Thrilladrome lost sector on Neomuna.

*During a mission, Crypto and Pox begin to discuss good ideas for video games. Crypto suggests three ideas for some successful video games. His first and second idea have the same premise as the ''Mario'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games. His final idea involves a "[[John-117|futuristic space marine]]" surviving the dangers of a "[[Installation 04|ring shaped world]]". This is both a reference to [[John 117]] and "[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]".
