*The antimatter charge was not originally going to be included in ''Halo 2''. Instead there was to be a level called [[Covenant Ship]], where the Master Chief would board the Covenant assault carrier and destroy it from within. Due to time constraints however, the level was cut and the antimatter charge was instead included as a means of destroying the carrier.<ref name="Commentary"/> | *The antimatter charge was not originally going to be included in ''Halo 2''.

*It is unlikely that the entire charge is filled with antimatter, as such an explosion would be inconceivably large. It is more likely that the bomb's bulk is due to the fact that antimatter must be kept in a vacuum and prevented from coming in contact with ordinary matter, possibly through use of a force field. Even a small amount of antimatter would need to be safely contained in order to prevent a premature detonation. | *It is unlikely that the entire charge is filled with antimatter, as such an explosion would be inconceivably large.
