Production notes[edit]

Several bosses and enemies were cut from the level. The earliest ones included the Covenant Banshee Pilots Nor and Kiz, and Ootu.[5] Later, the Promethean Master Intex was debuted at E3 2015 but cut prior to release.[6] In a developer build prior to E3 2015, the map was called "Escape from Cantor Landing".[7]

Trivia[edit]

If one were to watch in the background for an extended period of time, they will be able to watch a rocket in the background begin to launch. Eventually it will take off and start heading into the sky.
