*Upon ''Halo 2: Anniversary's'' PC release, the customization menu reused tooltips from ''Halo: Reach's'' customization menu. Erroneously, the updated customization menu stated the choice between a Spartan and Elite player model is only applicable to appropriate, species-specific gametypes, despite the option being available regardless of gametype. As of Series 8, the preferred species prompt's tooltip still insinuates the choice is only applicable to appropriate, species-specific gametypes. | *Upon ''Halo 2: Anniversary's'' PC release, the customization menu reused tooltips from ''Halo: Reach's'' customization menu.

**Additionally, during [[ | **Additionally, during [[Series 2: Spark]], the Spartan customization menu reused ''Reach'' tooltips, and stated the player can change the appearance of their Spartan by "adding or removing armor", despite the game only providing the option to switch armor sets at that time. The Elite menu properly stated the player can only select specific armor classes. This would be updated for [[Series 3: Recon]] later in 2020, opting to use more general terminology with the switch to more intensive customization. | ||

*As of the release of ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' on PC, the updated Elite armor sets reused descriptions from the [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]], [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec Ops]], and [[Sangheili Ranger|Ranger]] Elite armor sets seen in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', as a result of reused menu text. With the release of ''Halo 3: ODST'' later in the year, these would change to the descriptions based on those seen in a 2015 Canon Fodder blog post.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-marching-on|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Marching On}} | *As of the release of ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' on PC, the updated Elite armor sets reused descriptions from the [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]], [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec Ops]], and [[Sangheili Ranger|Ranger]] Elite armor sets seen in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', as a result of reused menu text.

*The internal unlock files for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' indicate the ORION armor was originally slated to be released in the ultimately cancelled [[Season 9]].{{Ref/File|HTMCC|data\ui\unlockdb.xml|S9 H2A ARMOR PARTS}} Likewise, the same files indicate the Bioroid, Breach, Trooper, Megaframe, and Panzerdoll armor sets included with Series 9 were originally intended for release in the similarly cancelled [[Season 10]].{{Ref/File|HTMCC|data\ui\unlockdb.xml|S10 H2A ARMOR PARTS}} | |||
**The internal unlock files for the armor within Series 9 also refer to the [[Breach attachments|Breach]] armor sets as "BREACH A" and "BREACH B". To create "A", the player must combine the Breach Scout helmet, the [[TAC attachments|TAC/SRV-III]] shoulders, and the UA/KOTIN chest piece. To create "B", the player must combine the Breach Link helmet, the [[UA attachments|UA/WAYLAND]] shoulders, and the UA/GRT78 chest piece. | |||
