* This level is the only level in ''Halo 3: ODST'' which does not unlock an [[achievement]] upon beating it on [[Normal]] or above. This is probably because of the fact that this is a free roaming level.

*Past an abandoned [[Olifant]], there is a deceased Elite without shoulder pads. Due to the frequent appearances of Elites without shoulder pads and the fact that they only sport white/silver armor, it is possible that they could be ranked as either [[Stealth Elite]]s, [[Ossoona]]s, or [[Sangheili Ultra]]s.

*If a group of hostiles is giving you trouble, fall back through the bulkhead to the last area. They often disappear, or forget you were there. This is very useful for patrols protected by Engineers, when you can't get a shot at it from the volleys the brutes are laying on you.

*After entering the building next to the first locked weapons cache, search the floor surrounding the door leading to the first courtyard. When searching the floor, you will find a box of cereal labeled, ''Web-O's''. The mascot on the front of the box is a picture of a gorilla with a cowboy hat. This character is recognized by Bungie employees and Bungie.net members as, "The Webmaster"(one of Bungie's many inside jokes). In the right corner below him the phrase, "Your Host LOVES 'em!"(A reference to how Bungie.net is hosted by Webmaster).
