*This is the first level players can build a base, and is therefore also the first level to train units and research upgrades.
*The soundtrack, Perspective, which is also the music for the cutscene, is a reference to Anders' line: "''I like the view, it adds... perspective to my work.''"

*During the talk between Captain Cutter and Anders on board the Spirit of Fire, a Hornet can be seen below. This marks the first and only time a Hornet is seen in the CGI cinematics and the first time it is seen in space.

*The shields that the Covenant have put up can be destroyed with out destroying the power source. If you build at least 5 cobras, lock them down, and then order them to attack the power source, the shields will eventually be destroyed.

*An achievement named Endless Fun can be obtained if you destroy all the Methane tanks near the refineries.
*Some pieces of human dynamite (found next to Alpha Base, to the right of the base exit) are incorrectly listed as enemy methane tanks and can be destroyed
*The opening cutscene portrays Sangheili anatomy incorrectly. Halo 3 established that Sangheili blink with their transparent nicitating membranes in a left-right movement so as not to interfer with their vision. When Ripa looks at the cliff, he instead closes his eyelids, which are portrayed as a top-down movement.
