* If the player destroys the particle cannons before destroying the shield generator, the cutscene and dialogue caused by their destruction will not start. Destroying the generator will cause the dialog to play with several seconds between lines; after the last line the cutscene will start. This can be accomplished by shooting through the hole that the energy beam goes through toward the particle cannons. To get a sightline and survive, the player must be just below the cannon and fire as soon as the target is about two meters wide, then pull up.

* While this level takes place in July, the northern URNA, primarily [[Canada]], is clearly covered in snow. This is likely a developer oversight as Earth's [[wikipedia:Terminator (solar)|terminator line]] is inconsistent with the summer months. In July, the terminator runs northwest to southeast across North America in the morning, with the northernmost regions experiencing 24-hour sunlight. In-game the terminator runs northeast to southwest with the North Pole bathed in shadow, a phenomenon which occurs only in winter.

* At roughly 30 miles (48.3 km) long,<ref>[http://www.polycount.com/2012/11/20/the-environment-art-of-halo-4/2/ '''Polycount''' - The Environment Art of ''Halo 4'']</ref> the distance from the level's starting point near the top of the ship to the Composer's location near the bottom is far shorter than the vessel's canonical height (371 kilometers) would entail.<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', page 193</ref> This is likely because the ship was not intended to be so large prior to the official establishment of its size, as evidenced by its scale against other vessels in the game's cutscenes.

* FLEETCOM is written as "Fleetcom" in subtitles when spoken, but as "FleetCom" when being spoken to.

*Master Chief initially addresses Thomas Lasky as a Commander while in the COM, he was written with the rank of Captain. This could be Cortana and John-117 has yet to receive updates from FLEETCOM regarding of Lasky's promotion to Captain.
