'''Roadblocks''' may be seen many times in both the ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]]s as well as ''Halo 3'''s [[multiplayer]]. | |||

The Covenant employ Roadblocks to block access to enemy troops and [[vehicles]] that might try to attack or bypass a fortified position. These roadblocks are small flat platforms that are placed on the ground, the top section is then pushed up on a hinge by an anti-gravity beam. The gravity beam can be disrupted by sustained [[weapons]] fire, or a small explosion, nullifying the roadblock's use by lowering the raised platform and allowing passage. Many Covenant troops will also use the roadblocks as a cover when being fired upon. These roadblocks can also be used as a ramp for a vehicle to jump over enemy fortifications. This will only work if you face the direction that it slopes up. | |||

These can be seen around the levels [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]] and [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. | |||
In ''Halo 3'', the roadblocks are much smaller and have three connected plates with a wide base. It can be destroyed but it will can stop vehicles. It appears in the levels [[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]] and [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] | |||

Human roadblocks are small presumably concrete walls. They may appear on a few campaign levels in ''Halo 3'', such as Tsavo Highway. They appear in no multiplayer maps automatically, but they can be placed with Forge. | |||
