An Artificial Intelligence Construct is a synthetic technological creation that is a part of a bigger whole. The AI Construct can be a self aware computer or simply a grouping of technologies that come together to form one large being.
First starting out as simple machines throwing stones, artillery has evolved greatly and is an important weapon in war.
A fleet is a group of ships, typically military warships, that sail together for mutual protection and to consolidate their power.
Special or stronger units than standard ones, usually found in strategy games. This is not necessarily the same thing as a superhero or a game's protagonist.
The Human-Covenant War was a series of battles that was fought between the UNSC and the Covenant Empire.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Noble Team is a small-scale fire squad of the UNSC Special Warfare Command Group Three, comprised of mostly Spartan-III super soldiers and one Spartan-II commando.
Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (A.K.A. Helljumpers) are UNSC special forces from the Halo franchise. They are considered the best of the best of the natural Humans; only the cybernetically and surgically-enhanced Spartan supersoldiers outperform the ODSTs.
A division of the UNSC Navy in the Halo franchise. They played an integral part in the Human-Covenant War.
Two or more factions, either with the same or completely different goals, that constantly try to one-up each other. The player is sometimes forced to pick a side to root or work for during the struggle. Other times the rivalry is only mentioned in the plot.
Space is usually empty, but sometimes it's filled with virtual death machines.
When inventing a series of races for a sci-fi setting, creators sometimes utilize a common framework of three competing races, including Humans, advanced aliens, and monster aliens. This is especially true in video games, where variety and balance are key.
Genetically and cybernetically-enhanced supersoldiers, the SPARTANs are Humanity's first and last line of defence against the Covenant. The Master Chief is a SPARTAN-II. They are named after the ferocious Greek warriors of antiquity.
Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
A squad is a group of military personnel who work together as a group. Popular in both single-player and multiplayer games, the other players within the squad can be either AI or other people.
A superweapon is a structure or character with amazing powers and amazing costs. This weapon can turn the battle to its owner's side single-handedly, but is usually the most expensive and time consuming to construct.
Many games feature storylines about wide, sweeping combat between three radically different factions.
Games with vehicles that can be controlled. This applies to games that AREN'T focused on just driving, but just happen to have a vehicle segment or the ability to pilot one.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
