*In ''[[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|Backup]]'', the back of the cave the player lands in is sealed off which is not the case in later levels. This is presumably done for gameplay reasons as it keeps the player contained to the part of "Apex" the mission takes place in. | *In ''[[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|Backup]]'', the back of the cave the player lands in is sealed off which is not the case in later levels.

*In ''[[Key/Clean Up|Clean Up]]'', its stated that Halsey's signal has been tracked from "[[Control]]" to "[[Lockup]]." However, in the next level [[Fireteam Crimson]] are deployed at "Apex" where the signal is ''again'' detected to have been sent to "Lockup."

*During ''[[Key/Science Mountain|Science Mountain]]'', despite it being stated that the player can't get a [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] through part of the level and they have to continue on foot, it is actually possible to do so. By facing away from the first tower near the point where the Scorpion has to be abandoned and then gunning it over the nearby ridge, the player can get the Scorpion over the obstacle and continue using the vehicle against the Covenant and Promethean forces though this is difficult to accomplish and can take several tries. Though there are similar obstacles along the path, there are ways around or over them, though they are much simpler than the first time. When the Scorpion nears the LZ where a replacement is dropped, the tank will reach a point where it will get stuck and can continue no further, requiring the player to use the replacement. Though the Scorpion can't be used to get into the LZ, it can get close enough that the player can use it to eliminate most of the enemy forces there, including a [[ | *During ''[[Key/Science Mountain|Science Mountain]]'', despite it being stated that the player can't get a [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] through part of the level and they have to continue on foot, it is actually possible to do so.
