*[[Frank O'Connor]] has confirmed that the events depicted in the trailer are ''"definitely not a part of the real game story"'' and that the trailer is intended as a teaser only.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/blog/343-sparkast-004-e3-edition/64516 '''343 Sparkast:''' ''6/8/11'']</ref>
*John-117's armor lacks a codpiece, which led to a great deal of confusion and even uproar among fans. The codpiece was actually present on the contemporary in-game model, though an older version was used for reference when the trailer was made.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP2gSLNzKSc&feature=related '''Halo Fest 2011''' - ''Halo 4 Discussion Part 1'']</ref> The codpiece is present in the final game.
*The ''Forward Unto Dawn'' looks noticeably different from its appearance in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as the external [[bridge]] structure is not present and the [[hangar bay]] is less prominent. John's armor also appears to be visually revised; the helmet has an external rebreather apparatus, the chestplate has a different configuration, the shoulder pauldrons are much wider, the abdomen is armored, the groin armor is absent, and the gauntlets are smaller and are flat rather than ridged. Frank O'Connor has stated that some of the changes to John's armor are merely aesthetic, though other changes, including the lack of the codpiece, will be explained in the game's story.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FyEB5FhA8Q&feature=related '''IGN Live (E3 2011)''' - ''Halo HD Remake Commentary'']</ref> However, John's appearance in the trailer does not represent its appearance in the final game; the armor is currently in its fourth artistic iteration, as the art team intends to make John appear both iconic and familiar to fans.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP2gSLNzKSc&feature=related '''Halo Fest 2011''' - ''Halo 4 Discussion Part 1'']</ref>
*Cortana can be heard crying ''"Wake up, John!"'' and ''"I need you!"'' to John while the latter is still in cryo-sleep. This is a reference to the final line of ''[[Halo 3]]'', when John tells Cortana, ''"Wake me. When you need me."''

*There is also a "Director's Cut" version of the trailer. This version of the ''Awakening'' trailer, which was released during GamesCom 2011, features a few changes from the original version. The background melody is different from original video, and continues until the end of the trailer. When John reaches the holotank, he does not speak to Cortana. Near the end of the trailer, he throws away his weapon rather than reloading it.<ref>[http://youtu.be/zI5k1ntGq9w '''YouTube''': ''Halo 4 Teaser Trailer'' (Director's Cut)]</ref>
