Trivia

 * The Defiant Map Pack was developed by Certain Affinity and published by 343 Industries of Microsoft.
 * The maps, Condemned and Highlands are based on known locations found in the Halo novels.
 * If you go close to the downed Pelican in Highlands, you can hear a radio coming from the cockpit. Although the comm chatter is filled with static.
 * In some screenshots for the map pack, a new helmet can be seen. Whether this is a glitch or a Bungie/343 Studios exclusive helmet is unknown. It could possibly be unlockable.

Mistakes

 * On Condemned, if you look outside and focus your attention on the Banshees, they are actually the Ground Support Aircraft. Not the Space Banshee seen in Long Night of Solace, in Halo: Reach
 * Also on Condemned, destroyed Sabre Fighters explode in a blue purple explosion, similar to how Covenant vehicles explode. This is strange as most UNSC vehicles explode in a red orange explosion.
