*It is the fifth level and the third multiplayer map in the ''Halo'' series to expose players to the vacuum of space, after [[Boarding Action]], [[Cairo Station]], [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]], and [[Zealot (map)|Zealot]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29224 '''Bungie.net'''] "...''this platform no longer provides any safe harbor whatsoever – whether the close quarters combat is occurring inside or out of its artificial gravitational field.''"</ref>

*In the distance, Sabres can be seen flying around outside of the playable area, close to the two Frigates and near the other side of the station.  This can be most easily observed during Forge.

*Despite the name of the level being Anchor 9, the actual space station does not look like the Anchor 9 from campaign. The colors of the station are more white and yellow as well as the geometry of the station is quite different. The multiplayer version looks more like the [[UNSC Hopeful]]. It is possible Bungie was going to have the level be set on a different Anchor, but changed the number to 9 for unknown reasons, as in the Bungie-made fly-through they noted that there were 18 Anchors above the planet.

*The grenades fired in the Space areas from the [[Type-52 Guided Munitions Launcher/Explosive|Plasma Launcher]] act strangely; they travel upwards unless locked onto a target or fired directly at the surface of [[Reach]], where the gravity of said planet pulls the grenades down to the surface.

*Using [[Panoramic Camera Mode|Pan Cam]], a player can see that the playable area is actually a floating cube, separated from Anchor 9's superstructure.
