*The Flamethrower's number designation, 7057, can be translated from "L337speak", and it means the TOST. It may be a reference to the Marathon Flame Thrower, which was named the TOZT-7, or it simply relates to the Flamethrower's function, to toast things.

*Strangely, even though UNSC remarks claim that their comrades wield the flamethrower, you can't give it to them in game. This may be due to game-balance issues. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one ever is at the [[Halo 3]] level [[Floodgate]], it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where your surviving marines hold position) holding it like Master Chief . Though you need camera mode to see the marine holding it, which he does for a few seconds.

*In the cut scene of the level [[Keyes_(level)|Keyes]], where the [[Master Chief]] retrieves [[Captain Keyes]]' neural implants, the Master Chief was meant to burn Keyes' skull out of the [[Brain Form]] and retrieve the implants. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the Flamethrower was removed. Lorraine Mclees was the one who actually had to skin the whole "burnt" skull and she added that "the skull was so gruesome no one could look at it." <ref>[[Art Of Halo]] - pg. 140</ref>
