*Earlier in the development of ''Halo: Reach'', the game was going to end in a cutscene directly after the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} took off, with the camera resolving down onto Noble Six as they inserted their last magazine into their weapon and walked off into the oncoming Covenant threat that still exists on the planet. The idea of a gameplay sequence in the end came fairly late in the game's development.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/reach_finalthoughts/image-feature/index.html?image=10 '''GameSpot''': ''Halo: Reach - Final Thoughts'']</ref> | *Earlier in the development of ''Halo: Reach'', the game was going to end in a cutscene directly after the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} took off, with the camera resolving down onto Noble Six as they inserted their last magazine into their weapon and walked off into the oncoming Covenant threat that still exists on the planet.

*[[Thirteen dead Spartans]] can be found in this level. Two are inside the structure, while the rest are scattered throughout the area. Their armor permutations and color are randomly generated; their helmets have no attachments, their combat knives are missing, and some have non-accessible or glitched chest pieces, e.g: Assault/Sapper chest, but with only one grenade belt, or any chest with unknown attachments on the waist. | *[[Thirteen dead Spartans]] can be found in this level.

Instead, it is replaced with a big hole in the middle of the visor. However, the only two exceptions are the ODST, which if one looks closely, one can see two holes, and GUNGNIR, which uses a camera instead of a visor respectively, and shows a small hole in the helmet itself. | ||
