It's safe to assume the cinematic is fully canon given its MCC remastering.

 '''''Another Day at the Beach''''' is a bonus video on the [[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack|''Halo 2'' Multiplayer Map Pack]]. It details what happens to the second [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] after being shot down by the [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]] in the opening cinematic of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''.

 *The name of the video is a reference to the second section of ''Outskirts'', titled ''A Day At The Beach''.
-*The names of the ODSTs are the names of several of the animators at [[Bungie|Bungie Studios]]. All of the names of the ODST were shown in the ''Halo 2: Killtacular'' documentary during the cinematic design part.
+*The names of the ODSTs are the names of some of [[Bungie]]'s animators.
-*This is the only time the Pelicans engines are shown as blue with exhaust effects, while in the [[campaign]]'s cutscene the Pelicans engines had no exhaust and were black.
 *In the original cutscene of "Outskirts" only the Pelican with Master Chief gets shot by the turret. Here, however, the Pelican holding the ODSTs get shot first at the engine by the turret which then proceeds to shoot down the one carrying Master Chief.
-*Stacker wears the [[ODST armor]] in the video, but when the Master Chief reaches Hotel Zanzibar in ''Outskirts'', Stacker is wearing a Marine uniform.
+*Stacker wears [[ODST armor]] in the short despite wearing the Marine BDU in the level proper.
-*Although the Sangheili is a Special Operations one, its armor looks more like a [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]]'s. This is likely just a mistake.
+*The Sangheili antagonist wears what appears to be [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] armor despite being a [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec Ops]] or [[Stealth Sangheili|stealth trooper]].
-*In the scene where the camera circles around the ODSTs that are looking for the cloaked Sangheili, Jones is carrying an extremely large [[M6C Personal Defense Weapon System|M6C Magnum]].
+*The squad uses the "[[Noob Combo]]" to kill the Elite.
-*In the cinematic, the squad uses what many call the "[[Noob Combo]]" to take out the Sangheili (an overcharged Plasma Pistol to take out the shields, and then a headshot from the Battle Rifle).
+*When the Sangheili is killed he slowly releases his energy sword, which then collapses, similar to the way a failsafe disintegrates the sword in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.

-*Although Stacker doesn't have a helmet, he somehow still hears and replies to Cortana, indicating that the function is carried out by a [[neural interface]] or an earpiece and a throat microphone.
