*If | *If one uses a [[Power Drain]] or an over-charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot, one can take down a [[Hornet]] but the player can not fly it or use the passenger seats. If the player do this while fighting the [[Scarab]] the player can stand on top of the [[Hornet]] and jump on to the [[Scarab]] after the [[Hornet]] can fly again and gets close enough to the [[Scarab]]. | ||

But sometimes one or two will shoot at the player for a second. If one manages to catch one in a Power Drain, or use a [[Plasma Pistol]] on one of them, they can be boarded and the player can fly around the place. The player will, however, die if they pass beyond the map borders. | ||
*When | *When one first sees the Anti Aircraft Battery's "legs" keep going straight, then left onto a small cliff. One can jump onto the other side of the big crack in the earth and go on the other side. Doing this one can walk through some buildings and some of the trees to the right of the road do not have bottoms (assuming Bungie did not plan this) | ||

This would logically place the turn off on the player's left. | ||
*If | *If one looks at the name of the UNSC Frigates firing on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], they all say ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and the ships' numbers are the same as well. Furthermore, on close observation of the cutscene, one can see that one Frigate actually fires its MAC gun twice, however, this Frigate may be similar to the Pillar of Autumn with a MAC gun capable of multiple firings per charge. | ||
*When | *When the player leaves Lake Bed A and enter the area with the marines on the machine gun, the female Marine cries "We'll nail them with the .50". However, the gun that the marine is using is the [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]], which, in fact, uses 7.62x51mm [[wikipedia:Saboted light armor penetrator|SLAP]] ammunition. | ||
