*The soundtrack, [[Put the Lady Down]], which is the music for the cutscene, is also a reference to Sgt. Forge's line: "Why don't we put the lady down and talk about this, man to freak?"
*Not only is this the first mission in ''Halo Wars'' to feature the Flood, but, chronologically, it the first mission in the entire series to feature the Flood.
*Not only is this the first ''Halo Wars'' mission to feature the Flood, but chronologically this is the first mission out of all other Halo games to reveal the Flood, since the events took place in 2531, 21 years before the main Halo trilogy.
*If the SPARTANs are used to hijack any of the Choppers at the beginning of the level, the player can not gain control of the SPARTANs until the hijacked Choppers have been destroyed.
*Even if you do get to the Spartans without destroying the Choppers, the Choppers would still have to be destroyed before you gain control of the Spartans. Thus the Spartans cannot be used to hijack the Choppers, which would theoretically make the mission easier since they could be used against the Flood. Also, when AI-controlled, the Choppers will repeatedly run the Spartans over, but they will not board it.
*Serina's line ''"Well, this is new. And scary,"'' was first said in the original ''Halo Wars'' demo video. However, rather than the Flood, she was referring to the sudden appearance of a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]].

*The player can encounter two Flood dens before finding Echo Team's Elephant. No one will comment about either of the dens.
*You can run into two different Flood Dens before you even find ECHO team's Elephant. One is to the east of where you begin on higher ground  and the other is north of where the future base will be located. Nobody will make any comments about either of the dens at all.
*This is the only level in the entire series where the Brutes are referred to as Jiralhanae, their proper names. This is also the first level in the series in which a Covenant species is referred to by its proper name in scripted dialogue, though the names of most Covenant species are sometimes said by NPCs in ''Halo 3''.  
*This is the only level in the entire series where brutes are referred to as Jiralhanae, their proper names.  
*Sergeant Forge's report about the discovery of the Flood, ''"Not Covenant, sir. Something else. Something worse."'', is similar to dialogue between [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[John-117]] in ''[[The Storm]]'' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', when the Flood-captured battlecruiser arrives over Voi: Thel asks, ''"What is it? More Brutes?"'', to which John replies, ''"Worse."''
*When Sergeant Forge reported the Flood to the Spirit of Fire, he said "Not Covenant, sir. Something else. Something worse." This is similar to the level The Storm in Halo 3, when the Flood-controlled ship crashed into Voi, the Arbiter says "What is it? More Brutes?" and John-117 replies, saying "Worse."
