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}} | 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.

The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines is known as "flip music", titled [[Shreddin']], from the game ''Marathon: Durandal'', another Bungie creation rather than their previously planned licensed song which was going to be "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. | ||

*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 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.

*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}}. On a rare occasion, the surviving Marines will follow the player into the next room, but immediately retreat following a brief moment. | *It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed.
