*There was speculation that this map could have been a remake of ''[[Turf]]'' or ''[[Tombstone]]'', considering the fact they both sport catwalks, alleys, and multiple levels.

*You can hear artillery shells exploding in the background every once in a while on ''Ghost Town'', which is interesting since it is unknown and unlikely that Artillery is even still widely used in the 2500s.

*There is a hidden room in one corner of the map that has a fractured ceiling with rear and concrete sticking out as well as a hole in the brick wall where you can use the trick with the turret that people use to get out of [[The Pit]]'s fence on the hole and there are three levels of hidden room to snipe in.
*The map makes a great racetrack due to its rectangular shape.

*Under the Pump Station, beyond the concrete ramp, there is a fenced-off passageway leading to another part of the building. It seems to have been fenced off by [[Bungie]] for the final version of the map. This passageway is actually quite large, but resembles more of an abstract room. It is easily accessible via the [[Forge]]. See [[Forge]] above for details.
*The map bears a resemblance to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' map, ''[[Turf]]''. The resemblance is most easily seen with a birds-eye view. This slight resemblance is more of a layout similarity than of play style resemblance, as in ''Ghost Town'', the player can enter the buildings, and there are no alleys like in ''[[Turf]]''.
