*Several aesthetic additions have been included in Stonetown, such as graffiti, tarps on scaffolding, and a [[Lethbridge Industrial]] logo. The power plant structure now has a more futuristic design and is larger.

The tether appears to be under construction, and the city surrounding it is nowhere near as built up as it is seen in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. Also, Zanzibar Island is over a hundred kilometers away from Mombasa, and even a structure as large as the tether would not be as clearly visible at such distances as it is on the map. Given the tether's apparently incomplete status, it is more likely that the map is set in the post-war period and depicts a new space elevator constructed further away from the East African coast, close enough to be clearly visible from Zanzibar.}} | *Several aesthetic additions have been included in Stonetown, such as graffiti, tarps on scaffolding, and a [[Lethbridge Industrial]] logo.

*The switch to open the gate in the power station was moved directly above the gate—requiring players to shoot the switch to activate it. However, the switch can be returned to its original position in [[Forge]]. | *The switch to open the gate in the power station was moved directly above the gate—requiring players to shoot the switch to activate it.

*In front of the rocky castle at the beach, a [[man cannon]] gives players an alternative route to the castle's walls. It can be disabled with Forge. | *In front of the rocky castle at the beach, a [[man cannon]] gives players an alternative route to the castle's walls.
