*The book does contain almost all of the dialogue from the game, word for word, effectively making it a book version of the game. ''Halo: The Flood'' is also acknowledged for explaining what happened to the UNSC personnel and Marines on Halo. In the game, the fates of the humans are not mentioned. Up to the [[Library (Level)|Index level]], the player generally knows that the Marines regrouped somewhere, and have staged a resistance against the Covenant. In the book, it is descriptively explained how the Marines acquired a base, successfully got human vehicles from the ''Pillar of Autumn'', and how they managed to fight the Covenant without the Master Chief. Furthermore, the book also tells us how the entire battalion of surviving Marines dealt with [[the Flood]] and how they attempted to escape Halo. The book finally completes their ultimate fate when Lieutenant McKay intentionally destroys their escape ship in order to stop the Flood from spreading to [[Earth]]. Major Silva's plan to capture the ''Truth and Reconciliation ''is a violation of the Cole Protocol which expressly forbids a captured Covenant vessel from being navigated toward planet Earth, although this could display the Helljumper's attitude and show their common recklessness, and it is also mentioned in First Strike that not many people know of this sub-section of the Cole Protocol, as no Covenant vessel actually had previously been captured.

*In the 2010 cover it is odd that John is wielding SMGs, as they wern't in Halo: Combat Evolved. Further more he is also dual-wielding which wasn't possible until Halo 2. And he is wearing Mark VI armor when he should be wearing Mark V
