'''The Cage''' is an asymmetrical map built into the Lagoon area of [[Forge World]]. It is reminiscent of [[Lockout]] from ''[[Halo 2]]'' and [[Blackout]] from ''[[Halo 3]]'', but retains its own unique layout. It is roughly the same scale as Lockout and is built around an open center, but features longer sight lines and paths that are strictly one way. During development, the inclusion of a Lockout remake was scrapped when its appearance was removed from campaign.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=timmWslsCXE '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Preview'']</ref> Basic elements from the remake were then translated into Forge World, with [[Chris Carney]] constructing The Cage after a week of design done on paper.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=29601 '''Bungie.net''': ''Carney's Crash Course: Map Design 101'']</ref> The name "The Cage" pay homage to Lockout as it was the original name for the latter when it was in development for ''Halo 2''.
