*The Prophet of Truth's line, ''"...your destruction is the will of the gods. And I... I am their instrument!"'' is a rephrasing of the message sent to [[Battle Group 4]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. Likewise, the line, ''"Your world will burn until its surface is but glass"'' is a restatement of a message sent to the surface of [[Biko]] in [[2526]].<ref>[[Data pads|Data pad 10]]</ref> | *The Prophet of Truth's line, ''"...your destruction is the will of the gods.

*The "Seventh Column" icon appears in the opening cinematic. Immediately after Commander Keyes says "Give the order, we're closing shop," the screen cuts to a bearded marine who says "Ma'am?" The screen behind him reveals a map of the base, with the Seven Pillars icon appearing in the middle of the lower-right quadrant. | *The "Seventh Column" icon appears in the opening cinematic.

*When the Drones attack, Sgt. Stacker/Reynolds will say "Take 'em down - short, controlled bursts!" This may be a reference to ''Aliens'', as the ''Halo ''series has had many [[list of references to Aliens in Halo|''Aliens'' references]], and possibly because the Drones and the Xenomorphs share more similarities more than any Covenant species. | *When the Drones attack, Sgt.

*The Banshees and Hornets outside the hangar aren't real, but part of the backdrop. They lack a physical presence, as one can move through them in Theater mode, they have scripted deaths, and they use very low-resolution textures applied to them.
