Trivia

• A section of this level is a nighttime version of the multiplayer map Powerhouse, with some notable differences such as a large Covenant shield dome generator.
• This is the only known level so far that features a Gueta, one of Reach's native species.
• The target locator can be used in this level, to what extent is unknown.
• The sniper rifle which the player uses spawns with more ammo than normal. This could possibly be unique to this level, as it is primarily a sniper mission. If so, it would be similar to the mission Truth and Reconciliation from Halo: Combat Evolved in which the Master Chief uses a sniper with above normal ammo capacity.
• The firefight map Waterfront is based on this level.
