There was an idea for the Paranoid Marine earlier in the development of this level in which he will stay alive, and when the player walks a distance away from him there was going to be a loud bang. If the player comes back, he would be found dead on the floor.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}}

According to Director of Cinematics [[Joseph Staten]], the creation of the mid-level cinematic was very time-consuming, as he needed to record every character's movement separately. The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines known as "[[flip music]]" is titled [[Shreddin']]. It was previously planned to license the song "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by [[Lorraine McLees]].{{Ref/Reuse|Commentary}} The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene.

*It is possible to skip the entire Flood reveal and progress through the level directly from the first room after the first elevator. To do this when the player first enters the room they must drop down to the lower level and go left to the column with a light past the locked door. There the player must grenade jump and move back but stop moving just in time; this allows the player to end up in the floor above and if done correctly the player should land on the beam. The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down. From here the player must crouch, quickly release crouch and jump forward, then time the release of forward and crouch again; done correctly the player will land on another beam. The player must then move straight towards the back wall (where the door that later allows the player to progress is). Finally near the wall the player needs to jump diagonally through the wall and possibly crouch, avoiding the glass window at the right but not going too far left. From here the level can be continued as normal as despite the door to get in being locked the door to the electric room and the door after are not.

*Sometimes, if the player moves through the swamp at the end of the mission too quickly, the Marines will get stuck near the exit of the containment facility and not follow any further.
*On rare occasions, the player can encounter [[Flood Infection Form||Flood Infection Forms]] in the room where the Crazed Marine is located. They will not attack the player, but they will despawn fairly quickly.

*Sometimes, after the Master Chief has left dropship V933's crash site, the emergency distress call will start again prematurely, causing the message to overlap on itself.

*The door that the Flood breaks open during the helmet camera cutscene is closed before triggering that cutscene. This can be seen through a window from the room before the cutscene triggers. If the player skips the cutscene before it gets to the part where the infection forms burst out, it will still be intact.

*The date on the timestamp of [[Private Jenkins]]' footage is May 27, 2552; months before the game actually takes place, which is September. This is due to the Private not calibrating his helmet cam.{{Ref/Site|id=BWU4/7/06|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=updateqaapril|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update 4/7/2006|Quote=When the Pillar of Autumn makes a jump, to adjust for normalized Earth time it will recalibrate equipment once position and relative position have been established. However, since the Autumn made a blind jump and straight into combat, no battle or field equipment was recalibrated. For that same reason, "north" on an assault rifle's built-in compass simply defaulted (per instructions from Keyes) to the largest visible source of gravity and magnetism - Threshold. The Earth-normal date was in fact September, in spite of what local equipment displayed. If poor old Jenkins had survived, his equipment would have been reset on the next (deliberate) jump.|D=07|M=02|Y=2021}}

*During the ending cutscene, the Monitor can be seen flying around the tower as well as talking to the Chief. Similar to the previous error, this is because the Monitor is in the level before the cutscene, but isn't removed when the cutscene starts.

*A flashing red light can be seen attached to one of the trees surrounding the tower where the mission ends at. It is identical to the same red lights on the tower itself. This appears to be a placement mistake.

*If the player returns to the elevator they entered the structure after meeting the Flood, looking up to where the elevator is, the player can clearly observe that it is on fire and damaged. Activating it will result in debris of it falling down to the shaft, and the Halo soundtrack [[Lament for Pvt. Jenkins]] will play again.

**If the player is using Acrophobia Skull, the player can get out of the facility only to find corpses almost everywhere, mainly Grunts. Upon reaching the Landing Zone, the player can find a Pelican is holding position at where the Pelican carrying Sergeant Johnson stops before fast-forwarding. The player can board it as a passenger, but the Pelican won't move.
*It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed. However, they will not follow the player any further. Instead, they will run in circles, occasionally dropping to one knee for a moment, and repeat the phrases: "I'm not sticking around to get killed.", "I'm gone, man!", "I'm out of here!", "You can't stop them!", "Forget this!", "Later, dude." and "This is suicide, man!" These lines are said by the Crewmen on {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.
