The Elites in the cutscene wear the same armor as those from the [[Covenant remnant|post-war Covenant]]. Similarly the Brute John is shown fighting also wears an unseen armor combination, with the body armor of a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] but the helmet of a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]]. These latter examples involving the Covenant may represent a retcon of [[Sangheili combat harness|both]] [[Jiralhanae power armor|armors]], or it may indicate that multiple styles of armor were in use during the war.

Some of the events can be assumed as representative rather than exact. When and where the battle in the city occurred is unclear, but it is likely not meant to be a specific battle. Rather, it could be considered a summation of the entire war. Likewise, the scene in which Halsey presents Cortana to John did not occur as such, as evidenced by John's armor and him meeting Cortana by hologram; canonically, as seen in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', John met Cortana after she was inserted into his neural interface for the first time. The comic ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' is an exception to this, as Cortana and John do first meet via hologram, although John was in his new Mark V. This was likely to suit the more visual nature of a comic and a cutscene. Overall, the ambiguous aspects of ''Prologue'' may be due to Halsey's embellishment.
