Players can customize each wave, set and match to make the game nearly impossible or make themselves invulnerable to any enemy fire.

Trivia

 * The Rookie from Halo 3: ODST can be added to your squad. To do this, beat the game on Mythic (Legendary all skulls on) and enter the mission 0 Hour. Near the middle of the mission where you first meet the Covenant, enter the alleyway on the left. Grenade jump into the apartment and he will be there. Just talk to him and he will join your squad.
 * The UNSC Infinity can be found on Nightmare. From the beginning of the level, look up and left. If you zoom in you can see what looks like the UNSC Infinity.
 * if the IWHBYD skull is activated and you continually change weapons with a Spartan, the Spartan will say I need a weapon. This is a reference to Halo 2 when The Lord Hood tells John-117 to defend Cairo Station and he replys by saying I need a weapon.
 * The MA5B from Halo: Combat Evolved is not at full strength. It has the 60 round magazine, but it's damage has been reduced.
 * The same thing has been done with the M6D.
