*If the player continues driving after the pick up point where ''Echo 419'' is shot down by Banshees, Cortana will say her line even if Rawley hasn't crashed yet (this is actually a time-saving strategy, but one won't get a checkpoint). | *If the player continues driving after the pick up point where ''Echo 419'' is shot down by Banshees, Cortana will say her line even if Rawley hasn't crashed yet (this is actually a time-saving strategy, but one won't get a checkpoint). | ||
===Mistakes=== | |||
*The ''Pillar of Autumn'' is approximately 1.17 km long. This, however, contradicts this level where the player must drive along a 3.5 km long service corridor that supposedly runs the length of the ship. This was probably for generating the tension and atmosphere necessary for the level. Furthermore, nav points indicate the straight distance to the target, and does not count twists and turns the player has to make. This is proven by when one makes a map using the [[Halo Editing Kit]], make a single player map, and mark a nav point. | *The ''Pillar of Autumn'' is approximately 1.17 km long.

*The Banshees that attack and follow ''Echo 419'' have open cockpits so they look like no one is piloting them. The Banshees do not actually fire shots that destroy ''Echo 419''. If the player fires at the Banshees, they will not receive any damage and cannot be destroyed until after ''Echo 419'' has passed over the extraction point. | *The Banshees that attack and follow ''Echo 419'' have open cockpits so they look like no one is piloting them.

*In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', after completing the level the carnage report will show that 4 Brutes were killed. This is because the engines that the player destroys are actually invisible AI that can only be "killed" by explosives. This is how the game detects that an explosive was used and triggers the resulting explosion. The game doesn't know what to classify the AI as in the carnage report, so Brutes are chosen. This may be due to the fact that Brutes are first in an alphabetical list of enemies, so they are chosen by default. | *In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', after completing the level the carnage report will show that 4 Brutes were killed.
