* This is the only level in Halo CE to feature an Ocean. | * This is the only level in Halo CE to feature 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. 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''. | ||
* 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.

* At the flipped Warthog at the interior path there are four dead Marines, one more than the Hog can carry. This may have occurred through a similar circumstance to when [[Corporal Harland]] had [[Cochran|one of]] his soldiers lie under the LAAG during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach|Page=165}} | * At the flipped Warthog at the interior path there are four dead Marines, one more than the Hog can carry.
