*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Unggoy's voices have been changed. Instead of being high pitched and squeaky, their voices sound deeper and mechanical, possibly because of their breathing masks.

*In ''Halo: Reach'', when you shoot off a Grunt's methane tank, its body will rocket around like a balloon for a few seconds as the result of the quickly decompressing gas. They travel so fast that you can end up being "splattered" by one if you're not careful.
