Trivia

 * Sergeant Forge appears on the battlefield in Halo Wars as a hero unit. He rides in a Gauss Warthog which has better armor protection, armament, and performance.
 * His last name is often mistaken to be a reference to Halo 3's Forge mode, but Ensemble Studios has stated that they came up with John Forge before they learned of the Forge.
 * He is somewhat reminiscent in appearance to the default Commander Shepard, of Mass Effect fame.
 * He is unable to be promoted past Sergeant, as he has been in jail for a tenth (2.3 years) of his life for fighting with officers. Without this infraction, Forge could have easily gone through OCS and become an officer.
