Several hours later, Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]'s signal was detected to have been bounced from "[[Control]]" to "Apex," and Fireteam Crimson was sent to investigate it. With the help of several [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tanks]], Crimson was able to fight their way through the defending Covenant and Promethean forces and reach the terminal from which Halsey's signal had been bounced. [[Roland]] was able to determine that the signal was next bounced to "[[Lockup]]" and Crimson was extracted to continue their search in "Lockup."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/Science Mountain|S109 Science Mountain]]</ref> | Several hours later, Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]'s signal was detected to have been bounced from "[[Control]]" to "Apex," and Fireteam Crimson was sent to investigate it.

*In ''[[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|Backup]]'', the back of the cave the player lands in is sealed off which is not the case in later levels. This is presumably done for gameplay reasons as it keeps the player contained to the part of "Apex" the mission takes place in. | *In ''[[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|Backup]]'', the back of the cave the player lands in is sealed off which is not the case in later levels.

*In ''[[Key/Clean Up|Clean Up]]'', its stated that Halsey's signal has been tracked from "[[Control]]" to "[[Lockup]]." However, in the next level [[Fireteam Crimson]] are deployed at "Apex" where the signal is ''again'' detected to have been sent to "Lockup." It is only after the fight at "Apex" that Crimson gets sent to "Lockup." | *In ''[[Key/Clean Up|Clean Up]]'', its stated that Halsey's signal has been tracked from "[[Control]]" to "[[Lockup]]."

*During ''[[Key/Science Mountain|Science Mountain]]'', despite it being stated that the player can't get a [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] through part of the level and they have to continue on foot, it is actually possible to do so. By facing away from the first tower near the point where the Scorpion has to be abandoned and then gunning it over the nearby ridge, the player can get the Scorpion over the obstacle and continue using the vehicle against the Covenant and Promethean forces though this is difficult to accomplish and can take several tries. Though there are similar obstacles along the path, there are ways around or over them, though they are much simpler than the first time. When the Scorpion nears the LZ where a replacement is dropped, the tank will reach a point where it will get stuck and can continue no further, requiring the player to use the replacement. Though the Scorpion can't be used to get into the LZ, it can get close enough that the player can use it to eliminate most of the enemy forces there, including a [[ | *During ''[[Key/Science Mountain|Science Mountain]]'', despite it being stated that the player can't get a [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] through part of the level and they have to continue on foot, it is actually possible to do so.
