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.

A Covenant Deployable Roadblock in Halo 2.

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 and Uprising.

In Halo 3, the roadblocks are much smaller and have three connected plates with a wide base. It can be destroyed. It appears in the levels Tsavo Highway and The Ark
