* While this level takes place in July, the northern URNA, primarily [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], is clearly covered in snow. This is likely a developer oversight as Earth's [[wikipedia:Terminator (solar)|terminator line]] is inconsistent with the summer months. In July, the terminator runs northwest to southeast across North America in the morning, with the northernmost regions experiencing 24-hour sunlight. In-game the terminator runs northeast to southwest with the North Pole bathed in shadow, a phenomenon which occurs only in winter.

* In the cutscene in which Master Chief crashes the Broadsword, he picks up an assault rifle after attaching the warhead to his back. When gameplay begins, however, he is wielding a [[BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] and a [[M739 SAW|SAW]]. There are also no assault rifles in this mission, and this is the only mission in ''Halo 4'' where he does not start with an assault rifle.

The correct (default) control is LT to throw a grenade.

*Master Chief initially addresses Thomas Lasky as a Commander while in the COM, he was written with the rank of Captain. This could be Cortana and John-117 has yet to receive updates from FLEETCOM regarding of Lasky's promotion to Captain between first Requiem Campaign and New Phoenix Incident.
