-*During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, the SPARTAN-IIs are depicted wearing the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor even though the Mark V had already been issued in [[2551#November|November 2551]]; this element is carried over from the novel, according to which the Mark V was not issued until August 2552. Furthermore, the Spartans wear first-generation Mark IV armor, (the version seen in ''[[Halo Wars]]''), which had been replaced by at least two [[:File:CP armor.png|subsequent]] [[:File:HaloLegends-MasterChief-transparent.png|generations]] before the introduction of the Mark V.

-*There are minor changes made to the events that took place in the Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History. In the original novel, the Hunters were disposed of by creating an opening on the floor below them with grenades, causing them to falling down to the basement. In the adaptation, the Hunters were killed by having a giant stone pillar crushing them after the Spartans threw several grenades at the pillar. In the adaptation, the Spartans were pursued by a large group of Grunts, who were eliminated by having an elephant skeleton drop on them. In the original novel, the Spartans were never pursued by any Covenant. It is unknown why Reed made these changes.
+*During the Battle of Chi Ceti IV, the Spartans board ''[[Unrelenting]]'' with nuclear missiles, perhaps [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shivas]]. In the book, they use [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s, which have conventional warheads. As seen in [[:File:Anvil II wing.JPG|this image]], the missiles used in the comic are far too large to be ANVIL-IIs.
+*Inside the Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History, the Spartans kill the Hunter pair by toppling a stone pillar with grenades, crushing the Hunters. In the novel, the Spartans dispatch the Hunters by creating an opening on the floor below them with grenades, causing them to fall into the basement. In the adaptation, the Spartans are pursued inside the by a large group of Grunts, who are killed by a falling elephant skeleton; in the novel, the Spartans remain undetected until their encounter with the Hunters.
+===Differences from other media===
+*During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, the SPARTAN-IIs are depicted wearing the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor even though the Mark V had already been issued in [[2551#November|November 2551]]. Furthermore, the Spartans wear second-generation Mark IV armor, (the version seen in ''[[Halo Wars]]''), which had been replaced by at least one [[:File:CP armor.png|subsequent version]] before the introduction of the Mark V. This is because, according to the novel, the Mark V was not issued until August 29, 2552; later media have retconned the Mark V's date of issue to November 24, 2551.
