*On the original cover, the Banshees flying overhead have their covers up, meaning they have no pilots. The same is true of the cover of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. | *On the original cover, the Banshees flying overhead have their covers up, meaning they have no pilots.

*The original finalized cover is remarkably similar to that of iD Software's ''[[wikipedia:Doom (video game)|Doom]]''. Both depict the main character gunning down hordes of enemies against a reddish background.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Doom-boxart.jpg '''Wikipedia''': ''Doom box artwork'']</ref> | *The original finalized cover is remarkably similar to that of iD Software's ''[[wikipedia:Doom (video game)|Doom]]''.

*[[Kenneth Scott]] created the cover art used for the 2010 edition of the novel, and it has been reused for every edition since. | |||
*The 2010 reissue cover depicts what is meant to be the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor, although it does not follow any established iteration of the Mark V, instead being a mix of features from the various depictions of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV]], Mark V and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]]. He is also dual-wielding M7 submachine guns. Neither the M7 nor dual-wielding appear in the game or the novel. | *The 2010 reissue cover depicts what is meant to be the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor, although it does not follow any established iteration of the Mark V, instead being a mix of features from the various depictions of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV]], Mark V and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]].

*As the novel was written before many of the Covenant's beliefs were further detailed in ''[[Halo 2]]'', it bears several discrepancies with later material. For example, the Covenant show no particular reverence toward [[343 Guilty Spark]] and the [[Aggressor Sentinel|Sentinels]], and regard them as enemies;<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 319'' (2003 edition)</ref> ''Halo 2'' later established that the Sentinels are revered by the Covenant as "holy warriors of the sacred rings" while monitors are among the holiest of Forerunner creations as "Oracles".<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign levels ''[[The Arbiter]]'' and ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> In addition, John-117 or the other Spartans are never referred to by the epithet "Demon" and are discussed with more pragmatic terms by the Covenant, although their battlefield prowess and high kill counts are acknowledged. However, the later-established nomenclature is used in the ''Adjunct'' section of the 2010 edition, such as 'Zamamee's journal entries. | *As the novel was written before many of the Covenant's beliefs were further detailed in ''[[Halo 2]]'', it bears several discrepancies with later material.
