In the [http:// | In the [http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13509 second most recent ViDoc], multiple forge items from Blackout were revealed. They include detailed staircases, man-cannons, standard doorways, portals, and blocking doorways, shield doors, and newly edited shipping crates that stay once they are placed. Another new object is the FX filter. Using these will change the tint, contrast, brightness, and overall color of the map, and it is recommended to experiment. You may combine them, to make cool effects. The barracks on Blackout contain a basketball hoop, and the [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] tower is now featured with windows compared to being fully opened. | ||
The level is not an exact replica of Lockout, as there are several noticeable differences. Several jumps have been removed to limit mobility around the map, as well as the removal of a "window" in the Library area that does not allow the players to see under the middle of the level. Players also cannot shoot from the bottom level of the "BR" Tower to the bottom level of the "Sniper" Tower. The following are some activities in Forge that the player can do. | The level is not an exact replica of Lockout, as there are several noticeable differences.

* When playing Team SWAT, if you spawn at Lift in the beginning of the game then do not go up the lift. Your enemy will most likely be expecting you and you will be killed as soon as you get up. If you spawn at Rec Room, then look towards lift. If there's nobody there or you killed him or her already, then look towards Elbow.
