* The man cannons placed in [[Valhalla]] and [[Narrows]] can be shut down if you use the map [[Overload_Glitch_%28Halo_3%29|Overload Glitch]]. This makes it a lot easier to place objects such as [[spawn point|spawn points]], [[grenade|grenades]] and [[teleporter|teleporters]] close to or even on the man cannon. If the round or game is ended the map is no longer overloaded and thus, activates the man cannons again. | * The man cannons placed in [[Valhalla]] and [[Narrows]] can be shut down if you use the map [[Overload_Glitch_%28Halo_3%29|Overload Glitch]].

* The main difference between a [[grav lift]] (for example the one on [[Colossus]]) and a man cannon is that it is more powerful and at a more horizontal angle. However, the main [[grav lift]] on [[Epitaph]] can not be called a man cannon because it doesn't look like those present on [[Valhalla]] and [[Narrows]]. It also makes a different sound when used. | * The main difference between a [[grav lift]] (for example the one on [[Colossus]]) and a man cannon is that it is more powerful and at a more horizontal angle.

* Notably, in the popular RTS series Command and Conquer, it has been recently alluded that a vehicle in the upcoming game: Red Alert 3 will make use of a "mancannon" to propulse infantry. At the very least, this could be a reference to the popularity of the cannon among gamers, in comparison to the teleports. | |||
