*If you manage to skyjack a Banshee or blow another Banshee up, you will notice the Heretic Elite has a Plasma Rifle equipped, instead of the Covenant Carbine. This could just be a weapon change for the pilot, maybe because he needed a lighter weapon to fly in the Banshee so it doesn't make it too uncomfortable for him. However, there's an equal chance it's an Easter egg, since not many players would pay attention to the actual dead body. | *If you manage to skyjack a Banshee or blow another Banshee up, you will notice the Heretic Elite has a Plasma Rifle equipped, instead of the Covenant Carbine.

*During the [[Banshee]] part, you can get out of your Banshee and land on the [[Phantom]]. This is hard to balance on, and is recommended to use at the end of the part as there is a high possibility to fall off. | *During the [[Banshee]] part, you can get out of your Banshee and land on the [[Phantom]].

*During the Banshee fight, it is possible to exit your Banshee and immediately board an enemy Heretic Banshee. This however, is quite a difficult tactic. When you do, the Elite inside will have a Plasma Rifle. | *During the Banshee fight, it is possible to exit your Banshee and immediately board an enemy Heretic Banshee.

*Many of the Grunt dialogue in this level is some of the most strange and humorous, Including ''If we stand here any longer, we be on date!'' and ''Hard to tell, but me no female''. It's the first official time you can hear them clearly, and can listen to the strange things they say, because up until now, Grunts have been against you. | *Many of the Grunt dialogue in this level is some of the most strange and humorous, Including ''If we stand here any longer, we be on date!'' and ''Hard to tell, but me no female''.
