A total of | A total of nineteen data pads can be found in various locations throughout the game's campaign, with at least two data pads in every level. Each data pad is numbered; letters or words are replaced with numbers in each data pad message representing the number of the data pad. Data pads numbered 1-9 can be found on any difficulty settings whereas data pads 10-19 can only be found on the [[Legendary]] difficulty settings. The in-game model for the data pads feature text in their inactive modes that do not represent the actual content. | ||

Circinius IV's omission is understandable as it was created for the 2012 film ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''. Hat Yai, however, was first introduced in the ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'' short story ''[[Dirt]]'', released ten months before ''Halo: Reach''. | ||
