*If the player catches on fire (from a [[Firebomb Grenade]] or the [[M7057/Defoliant Projector|Flamethrower]]) and then enter Edit Mode, they will take no damage. Upon returning to Player Mode, however, they will find that the fire was "preserved", they will once again take damage. | *If the player catches on fire (from a [[Firebomb Grenade]] or the [[M7057/Defoliant Projector|Flamethrower]]) and then enter Edit Mode, they will take no damage.

**It also applies to any momentum that the player gathered while in Player Mode, if they jump into a Grav Lift or man cannon, enter Edit Mode, move away, and then return to Player Mode, they will fly through the air. This was changed in Halo: Reach as changing to edit mode arrests the players motion. However, if someone in Edit mode is moving when they return to Player mode, their velocity is carried over, and can result in dying if the change happens when flying down, as Halo: Reach physics causes damage to players if they hit the ground too fast. | **It also applies to any momentum that the player gathered while in Player Mode, if they jump into a Grav Lift or man cannon, enter Edit Mode, move away, and then return to Player Mode, they will fly through the air.

*The idea of Forge was taken from ''[[Marathon: Infinity]]'', which also has a map editor named Forge.

*Some weapons may be purchased at no cost if they were originally on the map and are not deleted.

*During lag or a glitch, it is possible to see the small blueish-white tear drop shaped orbs (item spawn points) that denote where an object has been placed while in Player Mode. When this happens, the spawn points can be interacted with while in Player Mode. If the player shoot or melee them, they will hear the same sound that plays when shooting or beating a shield door. | *During lag or a glitch, it is possible to see the small blueish-white tear drop shaped orbs (item spawn points) that denote where an object has been placed while in Player Mode.

*It is unknown why the player cannot place certain weapons on certain maps, but it is probably due to balancing. Vehicles would be unable to evade [[Missile Pod]]s in indoor maps, and large vehicles like [[Wraith]]s and Scorpions might not even fit inside of indoor maps with small doors or rooms. However, weapons such as [[Fuel Rod Guns]] and [[Flamethrowers]] have limited use due network and performance issues. | *It is unknown why the player cannot place certain weapons on certain maps, but it is probably due to balancing.

*Forge 2.0 in ''Halo: Reach'' was originally going to feature Weather as a changeable object but was cut due to time restraints: "No weather effects in the Forge.

*In Halo: Reach, after a player goes in to Monitor mode, the Monitor will have a shield/health HUD similar to that of the species which it was transformed from. However, if a player dies while in Monitor mode, when he/she respawns(as a monitor), it will have a Monitor HUD from Halo 3, showing only the shield bar. Exiting then reentering monitor mode after this will give a normal Spartan/Elite HUD. | *In Halo: Reach, after a player goes in to Monitor mode, the Monitor will have a shield/health HUD similar to that of the species which it was transformed from.

*In Forge 2.0, if there is lag during a forge session and a player goes into Edit Mode, a [[Focus Rifle]] icon will appear for a second and disappear and the reticule will go from Focus Rifle reticule to Edit reticule and if your pressing the Fire button, the player will emit a short Focus Rifle blast with sound effect for as long as the Focus Rifle reticule is visible.
