*If the player betrays the UNSC personnel at the beginning of the level, additional troops will enter the area to kill the player. This makes it the first level since [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]] to feature soldiers entering an area to eliminate a betraying player. However, unlike on The Pillar of Autumn--where the Marines are invincible--the Marines on this level can be killed. This course of action can lead to an easter egg; a man resembling [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] spawns as the penultimate hostile.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH3OXjbv1gA '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 Easter Egg: Sergeant Johnson on Shutdown'']</ref>
* It is possible to spawn four [[Type-2 gravity hammer|Gravity Hammer]]s in this mission via a Legendary-only [[Gravity Hammers on Shutdown|easter egg]].<ref name="hammer">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03rqpfoCls '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 - Secret Gravity Hammers Easter Egg'']</ref>
*The last tower can be entered right from the level's beginning, creating a very useful shortcut for Legendary playthroughs or speedruns.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHQttpBOPPo&feature=g-user-u '''YouTube''': ''Halo 4 Tricks'']</ref>
*The Announcer's audio log mentions "Red vs. Blue carnage". This is a direct reference to the web series ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''. Coincidentally, from Season 6 to 10, it is mentioned on numerous occasions that most of the events in the series take place during combat simulations.
*At the beginning of the level, the crocodile-shaped "Greentooth" smiley, symbol of the videogame artists community ''[http://www.polycount.com/ Polycount]'', can be found on one of the crates.
*The Pelican's ammo crate will be instantly refilled as the player finishes the objectives and returns to the Pelican.

=== Mistakes ===
When the Master Chief cocks his assault rifle in the opening cinematic, the animation shows him ostensibly pulling the charging handle back on the right side of the weapon, even though the handle on the MA5D is located on the left side and further back than indicated by the animation.
