*One of the other lines spoken by 343 Guilty Spark during the fight is "My precious!" This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]], a character from the ''[[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]]'' novels, who was absolutely obsessed with the One Ring and referred to it as his "precious". | *One of the other lines spoken by 343 Guilty Spark during the fight is "My precious!"

*It has been noted that the final section bears a striking resemblance to the [[Cartographer]] island from the level ''[[Silent Cartographer]]'' from the first game. Although it may be a coincidence, it is possible that the structure is the beginnings of the Cartographer island. | *It has been noted that the final section bears a striking resemblance to the [[Cartographer]] island from the level ''[[Silent Cartographer]]'' from the first game.

It maintains many elements of the original 'Maw Run', including a chasm-jump. It is of note that both runs effectively start in control centers ({{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s bridge, and Halo's Control Room), use the Warthog as the main method of transport, involve an escape to a hangar bay and end with large explosions that destroy a Halo. | ||

*Cortana's line, "But you did it. Truth and the Covenant... the Flood, It's finished," is a reference to one of her lines from the end of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' — "We did what we had to do... for Earth. An entire Covenant armada obliterated, and the ''Flood''... we had no choice. Halo... it's finished." In the first game, the Chief denies it, as the war is not over yet. ("I think we're just getting started.") This time, with the war over and the Flood obliterated, he agrees. | *Cortana's line, "But you did it.
