*According to Bungie, the main difference of this Scorpion-based mission as compared to those in the previous games is that "it's more of a close-range city fight," and the time the player controls the tank is slightly shorter. | *According to Bungie, the main difference of this Scorpion-based mission as compared to those in the previous games is that "it's more of a close-range city fight," and the time the player controls the tank is slightly shorter. | ||
*The beacon to start this level is a ruined [[M68 Gauss Cannon|Gauss Turret]]. Though this turret is slagged automatically, a second Gauss turret is found on the lower level. The player can actually save this second turret from damage and use it to their advantage in the ensuing fight. | *The beacon to start this level is a ruined [[M68 Gauss Cannon|Gauss Turret]].

*In the opening cutscene the Wraith comes around the street corner, but if the player quickly turn right to look behind he/she at the start of gameplay, the Wraith has not rounded the corner yet. | *In the opening cutscene the Wraith comes around the street corner, but if the player quickly turn right to look behind he/she at the start of gameplay, the Wraith has not rounded the corner yet. | ||
*At the beginning of the level, although the Marines yell at the player to save their Scorpion from being destroyed by Wraith fire, a second, unmanned tank is also in the plaza. It is likely available for Co-op purposes and is completely ignored by the enemy unless the player or a friendly is nearby. | *At the beginning of the level, although the Marines yell at the player to save their Scorpion from being destroyed by Wraith fire, a second, unmanned tank is also in the plaza.

*It is possible, though extremely difficult, to hijack a Banshee in this level through [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgY-rAQWKXk a glitch]. When the player gets inside the Banshee and fly over the wall with the 4 on it, go right and fly straight for a bit and the player will see something like a Da Vinci Egg texture on the ground (like from the eggs in Sandtrap and Sandbox). The player can also go exploring and see the 2D-render of the apparent 3D structure of the space tether and 3D buildings that are out of play zone. The player can even get inside the "blocked off" Kizingo Boulevard on the other side of the district (the area behind the plasma shield barrier). | *It is possible, though extremely difficult, to hijack a Banshee in this level through [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgY-rAQWKXk a glitch].

*Upon entering the area where the player meets up with Dutch, exit the Scorpion just past the blast doors and go through the open door leading into the building with the Gauss Turret that serves as this level's beacon. Both inside this building and on the ledge next to the turret are extra Rocket Launcher ammo and Frag Grenades. The former is useful for getting the [[Both Tubes]] achievement. | *Upon entering the area where the player meets up with Dutch, exit the Scorpion just past the blast doors and go through the open door leading into the building with the Gauss Turret that serves as this level's beacon.

*Although the game intends for the player to abandon the Scorpion in order to meet Dutch, the player can destroy enough of the first line of roadblocks to drive the player's tank directly up to Dutch and, to a limited extent, shell enemy forces beyond the blast doors. However, if Dutch boards an available spot on the tank, he will remain there and cannot assist him/her in the coming fight. | *Although the game intends for the player to abandon the Scorpion in order to meet Dutch, the player can destroy enough of the first line of roadblocks to drive the player's tank directly up to Dutch and, to a limited extent, shell enemy forces beyond the blast doors.

*If a player captures a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], they can drive it up to the rally point, where an invisible barrier will prevent them from entering the next area unless they exit the vehicle. However, it is possible to carefully melee the vehicle past the invisible barrier, where it will be possible to mount it and freely drive it for the remainder of the level. | *If a player captures a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], they can drive it up to the rally point, where an invisible barrier will prevent them from entering the next area unless they exit the vehicle.
