==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the opening cinematic, a Marine yells, ''"They're everywhere!"''; this is a notorious line spoken by the BoBs in the original ''[[Marathon]]''. However, ''Marathon'' is owned by [[Bungie]], not [[343 Industries]], so it is more likely a coincidence rather than a [[List of Marathon references in the Halo series|deliberate reference]].

*''Invasion'' is the only episode that does not feature [[Fireteam Majestic]] in the opening cinematic.
