*Several aesthetic additions have been included in Stonetown, such as graffiti, tarps on scaffolding, and a [[Lethbridge Industrial]] logo. The power plant structure now has a more futuristic design and is larger. A [[space elevator]] is visible some distance off the map's coastline.<ref name="ign first">[http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/10/20/zanzibar-remake-stonetown-rocks-in-halo-the-master-chief-collection-ign-first '''IGN.com''': ''Zanzibar Remake 'Stonetown' Rocks in Halo: The Master Chief Collection – IGN First'']</ref>{{Ref/Note|The space elevator seen on the map is remarkably similar to the [[Mombasa Tether]], but is unlikely to be the same elevator. The tether appears to be under construction, and the city surrounding it is nowhere near as built up as it is seen in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. Also, Zanzibar Island is over a hundred kilometers away from Mombasa, and even a structure as large as the tether would not be as clearly visible at such distances as it is on the map. Given the tether's apparently incomplete status, it is more likely that the map is set in the post-war period and depicts a new space elevator constructed further away from the East African coast, close enough to be clearly visible from Zanzibar.}}

*After bringing them down, the bridge next to the wheel and the smaller bridge in front of red base can be picked up. This is a bit of a hassle because the both are a bit awkward to move and shake frequently when held.
