Trivia

• The soundtrack bears some resemblance to "Under Cover of Night" from the Halo: Original Soundtrack.
• The track Keeping What I Steal is a reference to Cortana's Halo 3 quote "Keep what I steal," and how the player uses UNSC weapons stolen by the local militia. It is also a reference to the Halo 3: Original Soundtrack song Keep What You Steal.
