Trivia
- The Surface-to-Air Missile launcher is present in Halo 3 on the Campaign levels The Storm and Floodgate, as well on the multiplayer level High Ground. It is unusable and serves only as scenery.
- For High Ground, Bungie had tried to have the SAM site AI-controlled, so that when players are charging up the map, there would be a risk of being killed by the launcher. Bungie had its AI capabilities removed, mainly because there was too much firepower coming down on the attackers.[2]
