*In the cutscene ''Monsters'', the back of Forge's head is clearly seen, yet his [[neural interface]] is not visible. This is considered a simple oversight on part of [[Blur Studios]], the company that animated the scene. This oversight has carried over to his action figure from [[McFarlane Toys]]. | *In the cutscene ''Monsters'', the back of Forge's head is clearly seen, yet his [[neural interface]] is not visible.

*Forge rides into battle on an upgraded [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthog]] with greater defense and attack power. If his Warthog is destroyed and he is revived, he attacks with a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90 shotgun]] with a special attack that causes him to quick-shuffle his shotgun until empty. | *Forge rides into battle on an upgraded [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthog]] with greater defense and attack power.

*Forge's death was notably similar to that of SPARTAN [[Jorge-052]]. Both died by manually detonating slipspace drives that had been converted to bombs in order to end a Covenant threat, having to stay behind because the bomb was damaged and would not detonate autonomously at the right time. They both voluntarily gave their lives to save a Spartan: Jerome-092 in Forge's case and [[SPARTAN-B312]]'s in Jorge's. This similarity has been noted on ''[[Halo Waypoint]]''.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/video/herosacrifice/46c5c9b9-8ca9-404b-b948-60840e167d5f '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Hero-Sacrifice''</ref> | *Forge's death was notably similar to that of SPARTAN [[Jorge-052]].
