*If you manage to get into the boat either in theater or somehow in actual game play, there is a blurry picture of a pirate with writing under it in Swahili that says "Pimps at Sea", an April Fools Day joke that Bungie made up. | *If you manage to get into the boat either in theater or somehow in actual game play, there is a blurry picture of a pirate with writing under it in Swahili that says "Pimps at Sea", an April Fools Day joke that Bungie made up. | ||

The [[wikipedia:BFG|BFG]] is a weapon in the Quake and Doom games whose name is short for "Big Fucking Gun" or, in the Doom motion picture, "Bio Force Gun." It also parodies the rapid firing Area 51 weapon the BBG which parodies the anti-air turret of the Scarab.{{Fact}} | ||
*The last cutscene of the level has clear resemblance to the [[Halo 3 Announcement trailer]], right down to the music. | *The last cutscene of the level has clear resemblance to the [[Halo 3 Announcement trailer]], right down to the music. | ||
*If you look at the name of the UNSC frigates firing on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] they all say ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and the ships number are the same as well. Furthermore, on close observation of the cutscene, one can see that one frigate actually fires its MAC gun twice. | *If you look at the name of the UNSC frigates firing on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] they all say ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and the ships number are the same as well.

*If you use a [[Power Drain]] or an over-charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot, you can take down a [[Hornet]] but you can not fly it or use the passenger seats. If you do this while fighting the [[Scarab]] you can stand on top of the [[Hornet]] and jump on to the [[Scarab]] after the [[Hornet]] can fly again and gets close enough to the [[Scarab]]. | *If you use a [[Power Drain]] or an over-charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot, you can take down a [[Hornet]] but you can not fly it or use the passenger seats.

*The [[Banshees]] at the anti-air defense guns fly around for no reason. They can be shot down for some points. But sometimes one or two will shoot at you for a second. If you manage to catch one in a [[Power Drainer]], or use a [[Plasma Pistol]] on one of them, they can be boarded and you can fly around the place. The player will, however, die if they pass beyond the map borders. | *The [[Banshees]] at the anti-air defense guns fly around for no reason. They can be shot down for some points.

*This is the only level in the trilogy that features real civilians. Even though the crewmen aren't real soldiers, they still work for the UNSC. They have standard Pistols but can fire any weapon that a Marine can handle.

*A useful tactic for taking down the Scarab is to bring the Troop-Transport Warthog throughout the buildings and fill it with four of the rocket-armed Marines. Simply stay in cover until the Scarab arrives, and then park underneath it, The Marines will do the rest. | *A useful tactic for taking down the Scarab is to bring the Troop-Transport Warthog throughout the buildings and fill it with four of the rocket-armed Marines.

Also on some conditions, he have a visible gun in his holster. | *If you look closely where all the wounded are while Thel 'Vadam comes down, you'll see a civilian with the [[Suicidal Marine]] Animation being used instead of the crying animation.

*A good strategy for taking out the AA gun is taking a Sniper Rifle and shooting it from a distance. It usually takes about 12 shots or if you time it right, you can aim carefully with the Sniper Rifle and then switch to your Rocket Launcher and destroy the AA gun with a single shot. The rocket flies as accurately as a sniper round so you can destroy the gun from very far away. | *A good strategy for taking out the AA gun is taking a Sniper Rifle and shooting it from a distance.
