-Several elements in the cutscene are portrayed differently from how they canonically occurred, especially the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]]. In the commercial ''[[Scanned]]'' and in the comic book ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'', the Spartans are built like heavily muscled young adults, whereas in Halsey's memory John looks like a preteen, if not younger. The physiques depicted in the previous media are likely more accurate, based on the description of John as having the body of an "eighteen-year-old Olympic athlete" just prior to the augmentations in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 59''</ref> However, it should be stated the physiques of the SPARTANS in the ''Scanned'' promo content are not that of an Olympic athlete, and are more closely resembling that of professional foot-ball players, thus making it an inaccurate portrayal of the candidates pre-aug. The physique of John in this cutscene pre-augmentation is more closely accurate than that of his in the promo content, let alone the fact that game canon supersedes promo content, thus inherently meaning it is more accurate than in that of the ''Scanned'' commercial. The surgery and procedure also look different, as it is shown being done by machine rather than in an open surgical theater.
+Several elements in the cutscene are portrayed differently from how they are depicted in other media, especially the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]]. ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' describes the fourteen-year-old John (and by extension the other Spartans) as having the physique of an eighteen-year-old Olympic athlete just prior to the augmentations.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 59''</ref> In the trailer ''[[Scanned]]'' and in the comic book ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'', the unaugmented Spartan candidates are built like heavily muscled young adults; in Halsey's memory John looks like a preteen. The surgery and procedure also look different, as it is shown being done by machine rather than in an open surgical theater.
 The Elites in the cutscene wear the same armor as those from the [[Covenant remnant|post-war Covenant]]. Similarly the Brute John is shown fighting also wears an unseen armor combination, with the body armor of a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] but the helmet of a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]]. These latter examples involving the Covenant may represent a retcon of [[Sangheili combat harness|both]] [[Jiralhanae power armor|armors]], or it may indicate that multiple styles of armor were in use during the war.
