*In ''Halo 3'', the screen on the cannon's firing mechanism will actually display its surroundings in real-time thermal imaging, similar to the scope of the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel]]. Unfortunately, this does not have any effect on gameplay, and is only in place for aesthetic reasons. | *In ''Halo 3'', the screen on the cannon's firing mechanism will actually display its surroundings in real-time thermal imaging, similar to the scope of the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel]].

*In ''Halo 3'', the slug in mid-flight is blue with a blue tail, making it look like Covenant weapon's fire at first glance. This 'blue light' is most likely the slug heating the air around it to super heated levels due to friction with the atmosphere. In ''Halo 2'', the trail was yellow-orange. | *In ''Halo 3'', the slug in mid-flight is blue with a blue tail, making it look like Covenant weapon's fire at first glance.
