*In the early stages of the game development, Elites using the Armor Lock ability were shown with a red aura instead of blue, while Spartans had a large and bulky attachment to their backs. However, these changes were erased before the game was released, so now both Elites and Spartans use the same blue armor lock. | *In the early stages of the game development, Elites using the Armor Lock ability were shown with a red aura instead of blue, while Spartans had a large and bulky attachment to their backs.

*Evade seems to be the only Covenant made armor ability as it is made of purple metal, the Covenants staple metal, and it also as a Forerunner glyph. But it seems that a lot of Covenant can use their own version of UNSC armor abilities, such as the Jetpack becoming an Anti-Gravity Pack if an Elite picks it up | *Evade seems to be the only Covenant made armor ability as it is made of purple metal, the Covenants staple metal, and it also as a Forerunner glyph.

*In canon terms, the Armor Abilities have only been seen in use during the [[Fall of Reach]], due to the fact they were introduced in ''Halo: Reach'' as a gameplay element. As Reach was the UNSC's primary military complex, prototype technologies such as Armor Abilities may have been developed and tested exclusively on the planet, thus explaining their absence in the other games. In addition, other ''Halo'' games occur in the time period after Reach falls, having John-117 as the only Spartan working alongside regular UNSC forces with limited military assets due to the Fall of Reach. ''Halo: Reach'' is centered around a Spartan team on a UNSC fortress world, with support and equipment more readily available. | *In canon terms, the Armor Abilities have only been seen in use during the [[Fall of Reach]], due to the fact they were introduced in ''Halo: Reach'' as a gameplay element.
