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]] and [[Uprising]]. | |||

In ''Halo 3'', the roadblocks are much smaller and have three connected plates with a wide base. It can be destroyed but it can still stop [[vehicles]], especially [[Wraiths]]. To get a Wraith past one of these roadblocks, the player must either use its mortar or its boost. Covenant roadblocks appear in the levels [[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]] and [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]. | |||
They do not currently appear on any multiplayer maps by default except the Pit (which is on the other side of the fence.) The roadblock can be added on with Forge. | |||

Human roadblocks are often simply small concrete walls, though some highways, such as [[New Mombasa 105 East]] or the streets of [[New Mombasa]], are equipped with sections that can be raised to act as roadblocks.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> | Human roadblocks are often simply small concrete walls, though some highways, such as [[New Mombasa 105 East]] or the streets of [[New Mombasa]], are equipped with sections that can be raised to act as roadblocks.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> | ||
Human-made roadblocks appear on a few campaign levels in ''Halo 3'', such as [[Tsavo Highway]] or at the beginning of The Storm. They appear in no multiplayer maps automatically, but they can be placed with Forge. They can be damaged, but not completely destroyed.
