Trivia
Note: Any glitches mentioned in this trivia will probably be fixed for the final game.
 * It is said to be inspired by current-day ship graveyards in Bangladesh where old seagoing vessels such as oil tankers are disposed of.
 * The UNSC Commonwealth is the ship on which John-117 first witnessed a battle against a Covenant ship in person, around 25 years before.


 * Outside the confines of the map, in the far valley, lies the scrapped hulls and frames of several Halcyon-class Cruisers, Marathon-class Cruisers and UNSC Frigates and far away, some CCS-class Battlecruisers fly above in the clouds.
 * The Banshee can fly over the death barrier around the frigate or fly through the opening on top of the frigate. This can be handy when surprising a Spartan camping at the core's evac point.
 * It is possible to position yourself on top of the ship using a Jetpack. This is useful for sniping or scouting the opposing team.
 * It is possible to melee the "wings" off of a Ghost and drive it into the core room. The Ghost will explode and kill you when you enter and the game will say you committed suicide.
 * If you have a rocket launcher, shoot at the Phantom floating above. If it hits one of the two sides, it may drop a usable plasma cannon.
 * The layout of Boneyard vaguely resembles Sidewinder and Avalanche's setup, all of them being very large and U- shaped.
 * In the Halo: Reach Beta it was possible to jump off of the cliff onto the neighboring mountains and survive. It is currently unknown if this will be possible in the final game.
