*Some sound clips used in the trailer, namely Perez's line "Friendlies moving out, covering fire!" and the "Three more, coming left!" "I'm running low, man!" exchange, are from the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo]] and are not heard in the final game.

*In the commercials, the shockwave from Regret's assault carrier's slipspace jump is noticeably orange-tinted, similar to an effect produced by conventional explosives. In the final game, the effect has a blue tint, similar to other slipspace-based phenomena.
