* There is a [[Seven|7 reference]]: John-117's cryo chamber is designated 16. 1 + 6 = '''7'''. Furthermore, on [[Cooperative play]], the second player will start from the cryo chamber designated 14. 14 ÷ 2 = '''7'''. | * There is a [[Seven|7 reference]]: John-117's cryo chamber is designated 16. 1 + 6 = '''7'''.

* This level is reminiscent of the level [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)| | * This level is reminiscent of the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'' from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'': both levels involve the Master Chief awakening from cryo-sleep, retrieving Cortana, and defending a ship from Covenant boarders before crash-landing on a Forerunner installation. It is also similar to the level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]'' from ''[[Halo 2]]'', in which John repels boarders, fights on the eponymous station's outer hull, and destroys a Covenant ship with explosives. | ||

* The cutscene depicting John dislodging the missile from its silo is one of the few occurrences in which he is depicted being equipped with the weapon that the player is using at that moment in a level. In most cutscenes, John is depicted being equipped with scripted weapons regardless of what weapon the player has at the time. The only other notable time that John is seen equipped with the weapon chosen by the player is during ''[[Halo 2]]'''s cutscenes. | * The cutscene depicting John dislodging the missile from its silo is one of the few occurrences in which he is depicted being equipped with the weapon that the player is using at that moment in a level.

* This level marks the first campaign level in the ''Halo'' series (apart from ''[[Halo Wars]]'') that is not divided into distinctly titled sections. Even though there are rally points available in the campaign lobby, there are no names for the level's sections. There is a similar case in the ''Halo 2'' campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]'', where there is only one section in the entire level. It is also the first opening level in which no friendly units are present. | * This level marks the first campaign level in the ''Halo'' series (apart from ''[[Halo Wars]]'') that is not divided into distinctly titled sections.
