Trivia
- Before the release of Halo 2, the page for it at Xbox.com was made to look as though it was a series of screens at the helm of a Covenant ship, complete with a Covenant language made of triangular shapes. The Game Guide uses a few of these characters to denote the placement of Covenant vehicles on their maps.
