Art Director [[Marcus Lehto]] led the art design of the campaign level ''Halo''. Lehto cited [[wikipedia:Snoqualmie Falls|Snoqualmie Falls]] in Seattle as a major inspiration for the level's natural landscape, especially the first waterfall upon exiting the lifeboat.{{Ref/Film|Id=ReachCommentary|[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|''Halo: Reach'' Legendary Edition]] Developer Commentary}} The second half of the level was inspired by the terrain seen in the [[Halo announcement trailer|MacWorld ''Halo'' announcement trailer]]. According to [[Paul Bertone]], the level design determined the direction for the game engine, which needed to support the wide-open terrain and high density of gameplay. Artist Chris Lee modelled the beam emitters seen throughout the level. Designer [[Jaime Griesemer]] was responsible for the level design.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} | Art Director [[Marcus Lehto]] led the art design of the campaign level ''Halo''.

*If the player somehow gets on top of the cliffs during the first part of the level (departing the Bumblebee until entering the underground tunnels), there is a unique scripted trigger volume that activates called "gotohell", which disables all player input permanently, including opening the menu and leaving the game. This is the only area in the entire game that uses this method of preventing the player from escaping the level.{{Ref/File|Halo Editing Kit|Mission\Game data\Trigger volumes\gotohell}} | |||
