*Romeo may be afraid of heights, an ironic quality for a sniper (particularly one in the ODSTs), as revealed by dialogue between him and Buck when the player are about to cross the construction crane to reach the crash site. | *Romeo may be afraid of heights, an ironic quality for a sniper (particularly one in the ODSTs), as revealed by dialogue between him and Buck when the player are about to cross the construction crane to reach the crash site. | ||
*The crashed Police Pelican contains a ridiculously large amount of ordnance, including turrets and their cases, Spartan Lasers, and even racks of Rocket Launchers with spare ammo. How the NMPD obtained heavy weapons is unknown, although it is possible that the Pelican was carrying munitions meant for UNSC forces elsewhere in the city. Another possible explanation is that due to New Mombasa being incredibly valuable as one of Earth's seven Tether cities, the UNSC provided the NMPD a large amount of weaponry during the Battle for Earth. More pessimistically, the weapons may be an example of extreme [[wikipedia:Militarization of police|police militarization]], or may be a result of Police Commissioner [[Kinsler]]'s rampant corruption.

*Just before the level ends, Buck will announce the arrival of the final Phantom by yelling "Chieftain!" In the [[Theater]], however, the viewer can use free-roam mode to go near the Phantom for a few seconds. At the right angle, the viewer can see that the inside of the Phantom is actually empty. | *Just before the level ends, Buck will announce the arrival of the final Phantom by yelling "Chieftain!"

*This cutscene is the first instance in a ''Halo'' game of a Brute using the blade side of the Gravity Hammer, although the first time this is ever seen occurs in ''[[Halo: Landfall]]''. Similarly, the scene also shows the first usage of a combat knife in a ''Halo'' FPS game. | *This cutscene is the first instance in a ''Halo'' game of a Brute using the blade side of the Gravity Hammer, although the first time this is ever seen occurs in ''[[Halo: Landfall]]''.
