==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*It should be noted that the ''Halo 3'' Achievement for completing the first mission in the campaign is titled "Landfall". This is more than likely a reference to the short film, due to the fact that in ''Halo: Landfall'', the marines are searching for Master Chief's location when he falls to Earth. | *It should be noted that the ''Halo 3'' Achievement for completing the first mission in the campaign is titled "Landfall".

*In the cutscene ingame, when Master Chief falls to Earth, it is night, when in the video, it is clearly the morning at the very least. This is most likely due to the timezones, the location of the Master Chief's landing site and the area where ''Halo: Landfall'' takes place. | *In the cutscene ingame, when Master Chief falls to Earth, it is night, when in the video, it is clearly the morning at the very least.
