*After the Fall of Reach, she was presumed dead by the Office of Naval Intelligence, although no body was found. She was mentioned in a memorial plaque inside the [[ONI Alpha Site]] on Earth.<ref name="alph"/> This is odd, considering that John-117, Will-043, Linda-058, Fred-104, Cortana, and Avery Johnson knew she had fled with Kelly-087. However, it is possible that the memorial plaque in question was erected before this news reached Earth. | *After the Fall of Reach, she was presumed dead by the Office of Naval Intelligence, although no body was found.

*Two of Dr. Halsey's statements in ''The Package'' are references to similar statements made in the first two ''Halo'' games. She tells John-117 that she slept well "No thanks to their driving," which is echoed in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' when he tells Cortana he slept well no thanks to her driving. She also tells John, "Don't make a girl a promise...if you know you can't keep it," which Cortana would tell him in ''Halo 2''. | *Two of Dr. Halsey's statements in ''The Package'' are references to similar statements made in the first two ''Halo'' games.

*Halsey's appearance changes drastically from ''[[The Package]]'' to ''[[Homecoming]]''. In ''The Package'', at which point she is aged fifty-two, she is depicted as a fairly young woman with short, blond hair and no glasses. This may or may not have been reflected in the later appearance of Cortana, who was created from the replicated neural pathways of Dr. Halsey herself. Her appearance in ''Homecoming'' however, is closer to her description from the books. It should be noted that various concepts in ''The Package'', and ''Halo Legends'' in general, result from artistic license. | *Halsey's appearance changes drastically from ''[[The Package]]'' to ''[[Homecoming]]''.

*Catherine Halsey is also a character in the novel the Fountainhead. In the novel Halsey progresses into becoming an altruist, thinking of nothing other than the greater good of the majority. In this sense, she is an opposite of the Halsey of the Halo universe; Dr. Halsey begins by sacrificing the Spartans to buy the UNSC more time, but then changes her mind and does everything she can to save the Spartans, regardless of what happens to the rest of humanity. | *Catherine Halsey is also a character in the novel the Fountainhead.
