Trivia

 * The Assault rifle section states that it was not present in Halo 3: ODST. This is incorrect as the MA5C is used by your marine allies and is your primary weapon during the Buck flashbacks.
 * The Scout armor section doesn't have all Scout armor models displayed, most likely due to limited image footage.
 * The MAC Gun Spartan operator seems to be Noble Six running in leaked photos from the development of Halo Reach.
 * The book says that the Shadow was only seen in the level Outskirts and the 2003 Halo 2 demo, but in actulity, the Shadow also made an appearance in the level that follows Outskirts, known as Metropolis.
