The Grunt blood with the Jackals is not a mistake. There were faint signs of Jackal bloodstains but they are heavily deluded into the Grunt blood when examined upclose.

*When you get out of the tunnel at the beginning of the "100,000 Years War" part, if you look at The Library you can see a [[Sentinel Constructor Factory]] being destroyed by [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] shots. | *When you get out of the tunnel at the beginning of the "100,000 Years War" part, if you look at The Library you can see a [[Sentinel Constructor Factory]] being destroyed by [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] shots. | ||
*There is speculation on why the Arbiter is able to use the Forerunner systems on this and other levels. The Forerunners made it to where no one but themselves and the Humans would be able to use the systems on the Installations that they created, but it is shown that the Arbiter can use them as well. This is likely an oversight made by Bungie and the Halo creators. Examples of this is when the Arbiter takes down the Containment shield on the Sacred Icon and when Rtas 'Vadumee activates the Gondola on the Quarantine Zone. It's possible that Forerunners allowed minor systems to be used by any species, like when the Covenant lock a Forerunner door in The Silent Cartographer level, but made sure only Reclaimers could do major things such as activating a Halo or retrieving the Index. | *There is speculation on why the Arbiter is able to use the Forerunner systems on this and other levels.

*When observing the [[Sentinel Constructor Factory]]'s destruction, it can be noted that the projectiles hitting the structure are actually [[Wraith]] [[Plasma Mortar]] shots. In addition, the shots never actually came in contact with the structure when it began to explode and plummet to the installations surface. | *When observing the [[Sentinel Constructor Factory]]'s destruction, it can be noted that the projectiles hitting the structure are actually [[Wraith]] [[Plasma Mortar]] shots.
