*'''Cortana''': "Interesting... the weather patterns here seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the [[Installation 04|ring]]'s [[Weather spire|environment systems]] are malfunctioning... or if the [[Forerunner|designers]] wanted the installation to have inclement weather."

* 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. The cutscene will still carry on but the player can see that the Master Chief is dead or frozen, due to the Banshee landing on the player, killing them.

* If the player manages to descend the cliff at the entrance to the first bridge without dying, the script that would normally spawn enemies fails to trigger, and so no enemies spawn in for the rest of the level.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxdkP38lsRU Halo 1 LEGENDARY SOLO - Mission 5 - Assault on the Control Room]</ref> This is a common technique used by [[speedrun]]ners to traverse most of the level unopposed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIcPIvC8WC4 Halo 1: "Assault on the Control Room" - Legendary Speedrun Guide (Master Chief Collection)]</ref>

* 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.
