== Trivia == | |||
=== Mistakes === | |||
== | The UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' is represented by the {{Class|Marathon|cruiser}} model, despite the fact that it is a {{Class|Halcyon|cruiser}}. This was likely done to conserve resources during the development of the game. | ||

* | *This level is one of the only four levels in the entire ''Halo'' series in which there is no gameplay; the others being ''[[Noble Actual]]'', ''[[Prologue]]'', and ''[[Epilogue (Halo 4 level)|Epilogue ]]''. | ||

*This is the first and only level in the entire ''[[Halo]]'' Trilogy where any member of the Covenant, in this case the Prophet of Truth, refers to John-117 as the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. This is probably because Bungie doesn't want new players to be confused when the enemy says "Demon". | |||
*Near the conclusion of the cutscene, [[Thel 'Vadamee]]'s helmet creates a bursting graphic texture.

*By using modding tools, it is possible to see the Master Chief hidden behind one of the pillars above the [[Councilors]]. This is due to the fact that [[Bungie]] needed to place an avatar in cutscenes to allow for the AI, thus making cutscenes "unplayable" gameplay. | *By using modding tools, it is possible to see the Master Chief hidden behind one of the pillars above the [[Councilors]].
