*This is the only level in which [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Sergeant Stacker]] are present at the exact same time. However, Stacker will not have his usual voice actor unless he is obtained by a glitch. But, on rare occasions, on [[The Pillar of Autumn (Level)|The Pillar of Autumn]], they may be seen together as well. | *This is the only level in which [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Sergeant Stacker]] are present at the exact same time.

*It is possible to climb the narrow spire ascending the front of the pyramid. This is especially useful if you have a sniper rifle, as the headshot opportunities are numerous. It is interesting to note that the Covenant will not return fire when shot at, and that any sleeping Grunts will not awake while the player is on the spire. | *It is possible to climb the narrow spire ascending the front of the pyramid.

*If you use one of the tricks to get to the valley floor early, you can find Sergeant Stacker among the Marines, the crashed Pelican, and the Scorpion tank as well as the [[Ghosts]]. Also only two of the Marines will hop in your [[Warthog]], and they will not get out of it when you jump out, like they normally do. | *If you use one of the tricks to get to the valley floor early, you can find Sergeant Stacker among the Marines, the crashed Pelican, and the Scorpion tank as well as the [[Ghosts]].

Although, eventually you will come upon a locked door and will need to restart the level or backtrack using the [[Banshee]] found at the end of the last open area prior to the final open area to fully complete it. The [[Banshee]] is necessary because you need a way back to the bridge. It is possible to take the [[Banshee]] and land on top of the bridge with enough momentum to throw the Banshee off causing it to be waiting for you once you have taken the long interior route down. | ||
*At the part when you get the [[Banshee]], if you fly upwards at a 90 degree angle and fire either your plasma cannons or fuel rod cannon, they will go at another 90 degree angle behind you. | *At the part when you get the [[Banshee]], if you fly upwards at a 90 degree angle and fire either your plasma cannons or fuel rod cannon, they will go at another 90 degree angle behind you. | ||

*It is possible to get an [[Early Banshee]] before the bridge. Through this cheat, if you fly it high enough past certain points of the level, the enemies won't respawn for the rest of the level leaving empty vehicles and thus can be a good lifesaver on high difficulties. However bodies and ammo won't spawn either. | *It is possible to get an [[Early Banshee]] before the bridge.

*At the last part of the level, if you use a [[Ghost]] and time it correctly, you can have it ram you through the first door of the control room and the enemies there will not respond to anything the player does (killing one of them will not alert the others, they will not notice a plasma grenade stuck to their head, etc.). This can also be done with a [[Banshee]] although a bit more difficult. | *At the last part of the level, if you use a [[Ghost]] and time it correctly, you can have it ram you through the first door of the control room and the enemies there will not respond to anything the player does (killing one of them will not alert the others, they will not notice a plasma grenade stuck to their head, etc.).

*The driver of the fourth [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] can be killed before he enters the vehicle, although you still cannot drive the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]. At Rolling Thunder, get one of the [[Ghosts]] and drive all the way to the area with the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]], while ignoring the enemies. An [[Elite]] can be seen making a run for the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]. You can use the guns on the Ghost or snipe him from a distance. A similar trick can be done on [[Two Betrayals]]. | *The driver of the fourth [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] can be killed before he enters the vehicle, although you still cannot drive the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]].

*If you take a | *If you take a Banshee inside the control room and activate the control to open the last door, quickly hop back in and fly towards the door, when the cutscene starts there is a small chance that the Master Chief will be run over by the Banshee and the grenades and guns will roll to where the Chief would normally walk, the Master Chief will still speak though. | ||

*Sometimes, when all your marines are dead, you may find them or Sgt. Johnson frozen in the walls. They will only be 2-D and will bleed and speak when shot! When they die, their bodies stay upright. This may be a mistake by [[Bungie]]. This can also happen in the cavern just before "Rolling Thunder". When they lag behind and the text "Rolling Thunder" appears on the screen, go back and they will either have disappeared or will be frozen. They will not speak when shot, but when they die, their corpses will fall down after a few seconds. | *Sometimes, when all your marines are dead, you may find them or Sgt.

*At the point where you obtain the Scorpion, Johnson will be present and will ride the tank, although this is impossible as he is at the supposed weapons cache with [[Jacob Keyes | Keyes]] at the time. A similar glitch is Johnson sending out Fire Team Zulu's distress call, despite not being there at the time. | *At the point where you obtain the Scorpion, Johnson will be present and will ride the tank, although this is impossible as he is at the supposed weapons cache with [[Jacob Keyes | Keyes]] at the time.
