*Interestingly, the first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep. The first section from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is also appropriately titled "Reveille", and also involves someone waking from cryo-sleep. Reveille is a traditional bugle call of the U.S. Military, which is sounded at the start of each day on military installations, to wake up the troops. Also, "Reveille" translates in French, to "Awaken." | *Interestingly, the first section of this book is titled "Reveille" and involves characters emerging from cryo-sleep.

*From the section Sigma Octanus, the datestamps appear ten years behind. Sigma Octanus, Reach, and the ''Halo'' trilogy occured in relatively quick succession, but ''The Fall of Reach'' states that Sigma Octanus, Reach, and Installation 04's events occured close together ten years before they were supposed to. | *From the section Sigma Octanus, the datestamps appear ten years behind.

*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several quotes from this book during Cortana moments, all of which are Dr. Halsey's. Such as: "Can I speak with you please? What's your name? It's very nice to meet you. You like games? So do I.", "You have been called upon to serve, you will be trained...and you will become the best we can make you. You will be the Protectors of [[Earth]] and all her Colonies.", and "Could you sacrifice yourself to complete your mission? Could you watch him die?" (In the game, "yourself" and "him" are changed to "me", referring to Cortana) However, this may be because she was malfunctioning, since Cortana was "spawned" (created) from Dr. Halsey's mind. | *In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Cortana states several quotes from this book during Cortana moments, all of which are Dr. Halsey's.
