* At the very beginning of the level, "Press X/E to enter side seat of Pelican" will appear. The player will be placed back on the Pelican as it flies back the way it came and can get off at any time. However, if the player doesn't get out the Pelican, it will crash and the player will die. This is known as the [[Pelican death glitch|Pelican Death Glitch]]. The glitch is not present in the ''Anniversary'' remake.

* If player rides a Banshee with full speed before the cutscene is triggered, there's a chance that the player will die by splatter when the cutscene begins.

* Despite the doors being locked, it's possible to enter the rooms where the Pulse Generator are located in Two Betrayals. This can be done by forcing yourself through the doors by ejecting from a Banshee, with the hatch facing the locked door. The rooms are somewhat different, however, as they are dimly lit and the pulse generators are not online.

* Unggoy sleeping in the level will still say their lines (e.g. "He's unstoppable!") when killed silently by melee. Their cries will not alert the other AI characters of the player's presence. This glitch also happens on other levels.
