*At the beginning of the level, although the Marines yell at you to save their Scorpion from being destroyed by Wraith fire, a second, unmanned tank is also in the plaza. It is likely available for Co-op purposes and is completely ignored by the enemy unless you or a friendly are nearby. | |||
*You can ride on the side of the tank, unlike in Halo 2 and 3 in which only NPCs can ride on the sides. This change reflects the fact that you are an ODST and provides gameplay balance. | |||

When you get inside the Banshee and fly over the wall with the 4 on it, go right and fly straight for a bit and you will see something like a Da Vinci Egg texture on the ground (like from the eggs in Sandtrap and Sandbox). You can also go exploring and see the 2D-render of the apparent 3D structure of the space tether and 3D buildings that are out of play zone. You can even get inside the "blocked off" Kizingo Boulevard on the other side of the district (the area behind the plasma shield barrier). | ||

If he is sitting on your Scorpion, his kills will count towards the achievement. This is much easier than having to aim for multiple enemies, with only limited ammunition. | ||

*The Marines on your Scorpion tank can be made to proceed to the last area of the level by making them dismount the tank and then pushing them past the blast doors. | |||
*The [[Firefight]] level [[Rally Point (level)|Rally Point]] is based on this level. | |||
*If a player captures a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], they can drive it up to the rally point, where an invisible barrier will prevent them from entering the next area unless they exit the vehicle. | |||
