Trivia
- It is the fifth known level in the Halo series to expose players to the vacuum of space, after Boarding Action, Cairo Station, Long Night of Solace, and Zealot. [1]
- In distance, Sabres can be seen flying around outside of the playable area, close to the two Frigates and near the other side of the station. This can be most easily observed during Forge.
- Despite the name of the level being Anchor 9, the actual space station does not look like the Anchor 9 from campaign. The colors of the station are more white and yellow as well as the geometry of the station is quite different. The multiplayer version looks more like the UNSC Hopeful.
