Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level): Difference between revisions

*If the player stands under ''Echo 419'' when it lands near the cliff edge, the player will come up through the floor inside the Pelican. The player can then jump through the floor and walk around inside the troop bay, though he will die when the dropship flies away.

*All the Marines and Navy personnel rescued by ''Echo 419'' hold their arms as if they are carrying MA5Bs, even if they are armed with M6Ds or nothing at all.

*There is a rarely encountered glitch that causes the Marines at the hillside complex or the rock formation to not board the Pelican. However, the mission will still proceed as though they had.

*Cortana mentions a command shuttle to Foehammer, though the actual meeting point for the UNSC forces is [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]; it is possible that she refers to the command crew's lifeboat. However, Alpha Base was introduced in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', which was released two years later.

*Johnson asks for volunteers to accompany the Chief, but sometimes he is the volunteer.

*Because the models for Johnson and [[Stacker]] are generic for all Marine staff sergeants in the game, in this level it is possible to have two Johnson or Stacker NPCs accompany the player in the Warthog.

*At the end of the level, Cortana says, "We should move out, Lieutenant", even though Carol Rawley is a captain. It is possible that she was talking to Rawley's copilot, [[Frye|Lieutenant Frye]], though this seems inconsistent with the rest of the game, as Cortana exclusively communicates with Captain Rawley aboard ''Echo 419''.

*On this level the model used for the Halo ring in the far distance does not actually meet the terrain. If the player looks at the bottom of the ring, (where it should flow into the ground below the cliffs), the player can see the sky between the ring and the ground, indicating a gap. This can be best seen with the scope on the pistol or sniper rifle found on this level when climbing the hill next to the cliff edge structure.

*In the ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' version of the previous level, John pulls a marine with a bandana into the Bumblebee. However, the bandana-wearing marine is nowhere to be found amongst the bodies of the escape pod wreckage.

*Cortana's line "This cave is not a natural formation" is reviled by many members of [[Bungie]] and many fans due to its blatant obviousness.<ref name="Essentials">'''[[Halo 3 Essentials]]''': ''Developer commentary''</ref> Originally, the cave to which Cortana refers looked natural, though Cortana could tell that it was not; the cave was changed to look artificial near the end of the level's development, and the line was kept.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1CGUnd3nw0 '''YouTube''': ''Halo Reach Legendary Edition'' Developer Commentary, Part 7]</ref> The statement serves as the namesake of a chapter title in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' level [[The Package (level)|''The Package'']], in which [[Noble Team]] retrieves a fragment of Cortana from a [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|subterranean Forerunner complex]].

**In the ''[[w:c:Gearsofwar:Gears of War 2|Gears of War 2]]'' level ''Disturbing Revelations'', upon approaching a subterranean Locust structure, [[w:c:Gearsofwar:Dominic Santiago|Dominic Santiago]] says, "I think it's safe to say that's not a natural cave formation."

*[[Jen Taylor]], the voice actress of Cortana, also voiced the lifeboat pilot at the beginning of the level.<ref name="Essentials"/>

*If the player makes any Marines on board Echo 419 turn on him at the end, the player will not be able to board the Pelican until the Marines are all dead or when they start trusting him again.  

*If the player goes elsewhere instead of boarding Echo 419 when the last group of Marines have been rescued, the cutscene will soon play regardless of where the player's location.
