Objects and Obstacles- Halo Reach

Obstacles-

Barricades-

Barricades in Halo reach are not just used for cover, but also for blocking off certain areas of the game, this could be removed by passing a certain part of the mission which unlocks the rest of the map allowing the mission to continue, or it could be to limit the players access to a map, maybe beyond that barricade the map runs out thus the barricade would be marking the edge of the map.
