  • Instead of teleporting directly into the Library, 343 Guilty Spark first teleports himself and John-117 into a snowy area outside of it and give a brief description of the Flood and their mission, giving a first look at the Library of Installation 04, which appears similar to the Library of Installation 05 as seen in Halo 2. The cutscene ends with them teleporting into the interior of the Library.
  • The structure of The Library vastly changes from the largely identical rooms of the previous versions, creating a more diverse and labyrinth-like experience of the level, although the overall layout is still very similar. This includes small mazes of Forerunner cylixes, a room of small light bridges over a floor full of Infector Pods, and large portions of Flood biomass.
  • The player is ambushed by a singular Tank form roughly halfway through the level. This marks the first appearance of them in the game, where they appear throughout the rest of the missions, having previously only appeared in Halo 3 and Halo: Fireteam Raven.
  • Flood blisters appear throughout the Library. When shot, some burst open to release pod infectors.
  • 343 Guilty Spark no longer makes annoyed remarks if the player fires upon him.
  • The body of Sergeant Marvin Mobuto appears in this level, albeit significantly less mangled as stated in Halo: The Flood. He can be found after the first lift behind an alcove partially covered by Flood biomass, surrounded by dead Combat forms and near the level's Terminal.
