* This is the only level in the original ''Halo'' where players have immediate access to an ocean; players will ''not'' drown if they drive a [[Warthog]] out into the sea, which extends out roughly half a kilometer in every direction from the shore before abruptly ending at an invisible wall. At these distances, the Warthog will be fully submerged, and underwater, there are odd effects on lighting, in that the flashlight has no effect and everything is pitch black, including most of the player's arm and gun, even the ammo counter on the assault rifle, which is meant to be a lit-up screen. This lack of a kill-area also applies to NPCs; enemies lured out into the sea will not die, and any marines riding on the Warthog will not only survive being submerged, they can even freely speak underwater. This curious feature of ocean exploration remains fully intact in ''Anniversary''. | * This is the only level in the original ''Halo'' where players have immediate access to an ocean; players will ''not'' drown if they drive a [[Warthog]] out into the sea, which extends out roughly half a kilometer in every direction from the shore before abruptly ending at an invisible wall.

* Interestingly, [[Sergeant Waller]] can be brought into the facility as a passenger in the Warthog. However, he will still talk on the radio to Cortana and ''Echo 419'' as though he is back at the Landing Zone. | * Interestingly, [[Sergeant Waller]] can be brought into the facility as a passenger in the Warthog.
