*In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', the description of ''Pillar of Autumn'' is considerably different from its ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' incarnation. The bridge is described as having a command chair and a curved viewport; in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', this chair is absent and the window consists of several flat sections. The novel also describes the bridge as being extremely cramped, with only a meter of space between the command chair and the other stations,<ref name="for277">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 277''</ref> while in the game, the bridge is clearly more spacious. According to the novel, there is also an elevator leading directly from the engine room to the bridge.<ref name="for277"/> In the game, the engineering and the bridge are on the same level, and there are no doors which may belong to an elevator adjoining the bridge. In addition, the engine room is described as being "hexagonal", while in the game,<ref name="for274"/> it consists of two vaguely rectangular chambers with the engine core in the middle. The ship is also described as having rotating centrifuges to generate [[artificial gravity]];<ref name="for274"/> no rotating sections are present in the game, unless they are located within the hull. | *In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', the description of ''Pillar of Autumn'' is considerably different from its ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' incarnation.

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the ship's [[Ship emblem|emblem]] is the ''[[Marathon]]'' logo. In ''Halo: Reach'', the ship's emblem is retconned into the Seventh Column logo. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', the Seventh Column emblem is replaced by a similar-looking gear, since the Seventh Column is an affiliate of Bungie. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the ship's [[Ship emblem|emblem]] is the ''[[Marathon]]'' logo.

*The [[bulletin board]] just outside the bridge of the ship contains a number of amusing clips, some throwbacks to ''Marathon''. These can be examined on the first level of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. The board has a flier for a missing cat called [[Jonesy]]. This is a reference to the ''Alien'' movies, where the cat's name was Jonesy. The board also has a flier telling Marines to [[Keep It Clean (Trailer)|'Keep it Clean']], a quote later used in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]].'' | *The [[bulletin board]] just outside the bridge of the ship contains a number of amusing clips, some throwbacks to ''Marathon''.
