*Arrival is the first tutorial level in the Halo series not to take place on a human space vessel orbiting a celestial body. [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'s very first level was on the UNSC [[Pillar of Autumn]] orbiting the [[Halo]] mega structure and [[Halo 2]]'s first level was set on the UNSC MAC defense platform [[Cairo]] in a geosynchronous orbit around [[Earth]]. | *Arrival is the first tutorial level in the [[Halo]] series not to take place on a [[human]] space vessel orbiting a celestial body.

At the other end of the crater is a metallic object, suggesting the Chief ripped it out of the Dreadnought and rode it down to Earth. Also, the metallic object appears to be a balcony or platform of some sort due to the support bracing on one side. | *Contrary to what players might think, the Master Chief did ''not'' land on Earth using just his [[MJOLNIR]] armor as protection.

*It seems to be that this level is the shortest level in ''all'' of Halo History. In fact it barely qualifies as such. | *It seems to be that this level is the shortest level in ''all'' of Halo History. In fact it barely qualifies as such. | ||
