*Three Spartan-II candidates die early in the training. Halsey's narration refers to this as "removing the chaff from the wheat". All previous canon sources explicitly state that all seventy-five trainees survived until the augmentations. Nevertheless, following the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]] Halsey explicitly states that 27 children died, representing 36 percent of the candidates, math which only holds true if all 75 underwent the procedures.

All previous canon sources explicitly state that all seventy-five trainees survived until the augmentations. Nevertheless, following the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]] Halsey explicitly states that twenty-seven children died, representing thirty-six percent of the candidates, math which only holds true if all seventy-five underwent the procedures.
*The "ring the bell" exercise is once again included, though with several differences: the events take place some time into the training, rather than on the first day; the obstacle course is indoors, rather than outdoors; and John's team includes all of Blue Team, Fred and Linda included, rather than just himself, Sam and Kelly. Only the first bell exercise is shown.

*The mission in the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] takes place in below-freezing conditions, as described in the novel, rather than the temperate environment of the comic. The trainees wear thin (though presumably insulated) body suits, rather than the novel's heavy parkas.

*As in the novel, Vice Admiral [[Ysionris Jeromi]]'s report is received immediately before the the augmentation procedures in 2525, though it is an audio message rather than the text file of the novel or the video message of the comic.

*As in the comic, CPO Mendez tells John to get some rest when asked whether the Spartans' lives were spent or wasted. A new scene is added in which immediately following this conversation, Sam attempts to comfort John and invites him to the shooting range. John declines the offer and heads to the gym, setting up his confrontation with the ODST's, events which take place more than three weeks later in the novel.

*Sam's narration states that John was still struggling with the loss of his men when he fought the ODST's, implying that he was not in control of his emotions. John is also shown climbing on top of and repeatedly pummelling a fallen ODST (punching him at least 15 times), fighting far more aggressively and offensively than is depicted in the novel, in which he only strikes at the ODST's when attacked. The fight takes place entirely on the floor of the gym, rather than in the boxing ring, as ordered by a Marine sergeant in the novel.

*Blue Team uses [[M7S SMG|M7S silenced submachine guns]] during the assault on Eridanus Secundus rather than [[MA2B assault rifle]]s, while the Insurrectionists appear to be using unsilenced standard [[M7 SMG]]'s instead of [[HMG-38]]'s. Linda also uses an M7S instead of her custom-tuned [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle]].

*In an added conversation, Sam scolds John for sacrificing himself for him, stating, "A queen doesn't sacrifice everything to collect a pawn." To this John replies, "All the pieces go back in the same box when the game is done," in a reference to Cortana's first words.

*When first outfitted with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV]], each of the members of Blue Team is outfitted with same helmet variants they wear in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', save for John who wears the standard Mark IV helmet, and Sam who wears a [[CQB-class Mjolnir|CQB]] helmet. In all previous adaptations they all wear identical standard Mark IV armor.

*The Spartans' assault on the ''Unrelenting'' is generally consistent with the comics rather than the novel, though all five members of Blue Team participate; Fred and Linda enter the ship from the other side then rendezvous with the others at the core and leave the ship together. The Spartans are shown using thrusters built into their MJOLNIR armor - a feature of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR <nowiki>[GEN 2]</nowiki>]] in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. They also carry the same weapons as they use in ''Halo 5: Guardians''; noticeably, Sam carries a [[BR85HB battle rifle]] from ''Halo 4'', which was not yet in service in [[2525]].

*Unlike previous adaptations, where the Spartans exclusively encounter thin-headed Ruuhtian [[Kig-Yar]] aboard ''Unrelenting''<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 120''</ref>, Blue Team first run into and kill an [[Unggoy]]. They then encounter a [[Sangheili]] in a hangar bay, where they charge at each other and Sam is shot in the chest; previous adaptations have Sam shot as a door opens in a narrow corridor. Finally, in the core they engage numerous Ibie'shan Kig-Yar, the stout-headed subspecies introduced in ''[[Halo 4]]''.
