*Sometimes, Sergeant Stacker's character model will appear instead of Sergeant Reynolds, however all scripted dialogue will remain unchanged. Oddly, even after both Sergeants are together, Reynold's voice will still come from Stacker's model, and vice-versa. However. if Stacker was killed before the players sees Stacker himself, the actual Stacker will have Stacker's character model. | *Sometimes, Sergeant Stacker's character model will appear instead of Sergeant Reynolds, however all scripted dialogue will remain unchanged.

*It is possible to jump the gap in the bridge with a vehicle if you have a [[Gravity Lift]] handy. However, if said vehicle is a Warthog, marines will not mount it, most likely because they were programmed to leaving it once they reached the gap. This can also be done by knocking down a barrier and pushing it around with a Warthog until it turns into a makeshift ramp, although this is slightly time consuming. An easier way to cross the gap is by bringing your Chopper as far forward as you can without falling off and then boosting. | *It is possible to jump the gap in the bridge with a vehicle if you have a [[Gravity Lift]] handy.
