According to concept artist [[:Category:Images by Jonathan Bach|Jonathan Bach]], ''The Commissioning'' was originally to have a scene in which [[John-117]] would climb up a rock to watch ''Infinity''{{'}}s arrival on [[Requiem]] - an alternate take on the scene present in the final game at the start of the level [[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]]. In the sequence, the camera would have closed-in on John's visor to see the ship crashing and breaking up in its reflection.{{Ref/Site|Id=Bach|URL=https://jbachdesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/halo-4-live-action-trailer.html|Site=jbachdesign|Page=Halo 4 Live-Action Trailer|D=22|M=07|Y=2024}}
