==Production notes==
{{Main|Development of Halo: Combat Evolved}}
[[Paul Bertone|Paul Bertone, Jr.]] was the main gameplay designer for ''The Truth and Reconciliation'',{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}} while artists [[David Dunn]] and [[Paul Russel]] worked on the level as environmental artists.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}}
During the initial design, there were concerns for the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' model in the skybox due to engine limitations, and [[Jaime Griesemer]] believed the level would be split into two levels.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=IGN}} Early design of the level also involved a ramp the player would walk up to access the ship, intended to be low to the ground. However, the art team didn't want to have the player be able to inspect the ship up-close due to the low resolution of the in-game asset, so the [[gravity lift]] technology was conceived to to help provide the player with a way of entering the ship while keeping the vessel airborne. This idea proved to be more visually interesting that the level was structured around the gravity lift.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=85}} The gravity lift had also allowed Bertone to spawn in enemy reinforcements after artist Stephan Okasaki developed animations for Covenant troops being deployed from the lift. After his rescue, Captain Keyes was deliberately given a Needler, so players can easily locate Keyes without giving Keyes a high damage output.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=IGN}} A bug was present during the development in which Keyes had the AI behavior to "taunt enemy corpse". Being armed with the Needler, he would fire it into a dead Covenant soldier, which would explode and kill himself.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Commentary}}
There was a level cut from the final game that necessitated the exposition during cutscene in which the Master Chief frees Captain Keyes and the marines. According to Director of Cinematics [[Joseph Staten]], the level, in a more elegant way, described the theory about Halo.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Commentary}}
In the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Master Chief was accompanied by a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s led by a Sergeant [[Parker]] (who appeared in lieu of [[David Scully]]'s [[Avery Johnson]] in-game). In-game, even in the ''Anniversary'' version of the level, the Master Chief is accompanied by Marines wearing regular Marine BDUs as opposed to their [[ODST armor|characteristic armor]], which had not yet been established in canon at the time the novel was written. For example, ''Halo: The Flood'' describes ODSTs using [[UNSC tactical eyepiece|eye-screens]] like regular Marines as opposed to full helmets.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Flood|Page=58, 63}} Additionally, in ''The Fall of Reach'' and ''First Strike'', ODSTs were only distinguished from regular Marines by the unit patches on their shoulders, as opposed to their conspicuously different armor as depicted in later media.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach|Page=248}}{{Ref/Novel|Halo: First Strike|Page=48}} This was amended in the 2010 reprint, where the squad are referred to as regular Marines, as implied by their in-game appearances.
The ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' campaign level ''[[Nightfall]]'' would pay homage to ''The Truth and Reconciliation'', featuring sniper combat and enemy territory infiltration during nighttime.{{Ref/Film|Id=ReachCommentary|[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|''Halo: Reach'' Legendary Edition]] Developer Commentary|Quote=This is our hats off to one of Halo 1's missions.|Quotee=Marcus Lehto}} Similar to the Master Chief in this level, the Sniper Rifle given to Noble Six at the start of the level has more ammunition capacity than normal.

This bug was described by [[Joseph Staten]] on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' Legendary Edition Bonus Disc.
*The player starts this level with a Sniper Rifle with a total of 68 rounds, exceeding the usual maximum of 28. When the player's ammo is less than 28, the normal cap will be in place.
*The player starts this level with a Sniper Rifle with a total of 68 rounds, exceeding the usual maximum of 28. When the player's ammo is less than 28, the normal cap will be in place. When modding the game it is found that replacing the starting pistol with another weapon leaves the weapon with the same amount of rounds the pistol would have had. This may have been a late development glitch and Bungie may have decided to not fix it and instead use the glitch to their advantage as this would leave the sniper with a higher initial capacity without creating new scripts.  
*This is the only level in the game where the player cannot find an M6D Magnum at any point.  
*It is possible to perform a grenade jump that skips much of the level. A video is here: [http://www.highspeedhalo.net/?time&id=9]; the jump occurs after about 13 minutes. A video is also available on YouTube: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpnDWLe-vG4]; the jump is at around 2:47. This jump includes 3 plasma grenades and 1 frag. Three [[plasma grenades]] are thrown near the Overshield, each one is lower than the other. Then, a frag is thrown at the ground. Grab the Overshield before jumping, so no damage occurs.

*If the player pays attention while searching for Captain Keyes throughout the level, the player will find random groups of marines lying dead in the hallways of the ''Truth and Reconciliation''. This is odd considering that all the marines that were with Captain Keyes went to the brig with him and the only other marines to enter the ship were with the Master Chief. It is also possible that they were a reconnaissance force sent in before the strike team. It is reinforced by the fact that in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', it says that reconnaissance had confirmed Keyes was captured and there are also dead Sangheili below the ship and in the launch bay. However, it was also mentioned that Chief passed several groups of dead marines when traveling through the ship's corridors. It may also be that these Marines were captured along with Keyes and killed on the way to their holding cells, perhaps for trying to escape.

Line 454: Line 522:
*After clearing the entire area outside the ship, if one returns to the entrance of the second area, there is a small alcove where a Sangheili was hiding. It is covered by two thin rocks forming a ceiling. If one turns their volume up and walks in and out of the cave lightly, several different "ghost" noises can be heard including hissing, distant "birds" and wolves sounds. The bird sounds seem very similar to the [[High Charity bird|ones]] from ''[[Halo 2]]'' on ''[[High Charity]]''. This place is just one of multiple locations where these sounds can be heard on the map.

But if the Elite is killed before managing to kill any of the marines, the Hunters will be replaced with the said pair of Jackals. On Legendary difficulty, Hunters will ALWAYS enter through the blast doors.

However, it may be assumed that the ODSTs  were wearing regular Marine BDUs as opposed to their [[ODST armor|characteristic armor]], as it appears that the distinct ODST armor had not yet been established in canon at the time the novel was written; for example, ''The Flood'' describes ODSTs using [[UNSC tactical eyepiece|eye-screens]] like regular Marines as opposed to full helmets.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 58, 63''</ref> Additionally, in ''The Fall of Reach'' and ''First Strike'', ODSTs are only distinguished from regular Marines by the unit patches on their shoulders, as opposed to their conspicuously different armor as depicted in later media.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 248''</ref><ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 48''</ref> This was amended in the 2010 reprint, where the squad are referred to as Marines, as the level depicts.

*In a rare occasion, Captain Keyes can be killed by a fellow Marines through friendly fire when engaging in a firefight regardless of any difficulty. This because due to the game mechanics where friendly fire often happens should Marines are fighting in the close-quarters.
