*During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, the SPARTAN-IIs are depicted wearing the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor even though the Mark V had already been issued in [[2551#November|November 2551]] | {{Expand-section}} | ||
*During the Battle of Chi Ceti IV, the Spartans board ''[[Unrelenting]]'' with nuclear missiles, perhaps [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shivas]]. In the book, they use [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s, which have conventional warheads. As seen in [[:File:Anvil II wing.JPG|this image]], the missiles used in the comic are far too large to be ANVIL-IIs. | |||
*Inside the Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History, the Spartans kill the Hunter pair by toppling a stone pillar with grenades, crushing the Hunters. In the novel, the Spartans dispatch the Hunters by creating an opening on the floor below them with grenades, causing them to fall into the basement. In the adaptation, the Spartans are pursued inside the by a large group of Grunts, who are killed by a falling elephant skeleton; in the novel, the Spartans remain undetected until their encounter with the Hunters. | |||

*During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, the SPARTAN-IIs are depicted wearing the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor even though the Mark V had already been issued in [[2551#November|November 2551]]. Furthermore, the Spartans wear second-generation Mark IV armor, (the version seen in ''[[Halo Wars]]''), which had been replaced by at least one [[:File:CP armor.png|subsequent version]] before the introduction of the Mark V. This is because, according to the novel, the Mark V was not issued until August 29, 2552; later media have retconned the Mark V's date of issue to November 24, 2551. | |||
