==Trivia==
*Halo Origins reveals Cortana's current age as seven, as seen in the quote: "Chief, can you hear me? When I was born seven years ago, I already possessed the entire sum of recorded human knowledge." This places her time of escalating rampancy approximately three years after John-117 enters the cryo-chamber at the conclusion of Halo 3.
**This is subsequently confirmed in Halo 4, which takes place roughly one year following Cortana's narrative in Halo Origins.
*In Halo Origins, Flood Infection Forms are shown to be able to achieve lift and hover; however, the Infection Forms in all the Halo games in which they appear never do so, only crawling and jumping.
**The physiology of the Flood varies widely, and variants may have existed with lighter-than-air properties.
*In Halo Origins, the scene remade from the Halo 2 level High Charity shows that a Phantom crash lands on High Charity, thus releasing the Flood. This is different from the game, where it is shown as a Pelican's crash landing.
**The Flood likely intruded High Charity from more than one location utilizing a variety of modes of transportation than what was specifically witnessed by John-117.
*In Halo Origins, Thel 'Vadam is shown to be at High Charity when the Flood invade alongside the Prophet of Regret, despite being sent to Installation 05 by the Gravemind who had already assimilated the aforementioned Prophet.
*Thel 'Vadam appears to look closer in appearance to Ripa 'Moramee following his transformation to Arbiter than to his appearances in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
*The Inconsistencies of Origins can be attributed to Cortana's accelerating rampancy, escalated by her attempted destruction at the hands of the Gravemind during her confinement aboard the Flood-infested planetoid station, High Charity. This could be responsible for her recollection of false or fragmented memories and data with questionable accuracy. This was further supported by Frank O' Connor.
*In Halo Origins, the Halo Installations are represented without interior environments, this is most likely an artistic choice.
*In The Duel, the Mgalekgolo are shown to be massive, boasting a much larger size than the average specimens seen in the games. As a collective mass of smaller organisms, it is possible for them to take on many assemblages.
*Halo Legends is 117 minutes long.
