What's your ultimate Halo surprise moment ?
For me it's Whisper in the Storm. I always thought we'd be fighting alongside Covenant, but never as one. As big of a surprise as the Flood was, the shock of playing as the Arbiter was beyond words.

Problem is, when people skipped the cutscene preceding the Arbiter levels, it kind of killed the surprise and turned it into a moment of disbelief.

Thankfully I watched all the cutscenes in the game.

XBL: FTG Spartan
But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting in to an infinite pattern.
Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.
Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
I know who you are.
You are Destiny.

Playing as the arbiter was no doubt my biggest surprise in Halo 2. In the series though I'd have to give it to the video on the dead marine's helmet in 343 Guilty Spark. The Flood made the story to Halo so much darker and twisted.
