In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the overshield | In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the overshield appears as a glowing red orb of energy encased in a clear glass cube. The same design is used in ''Halo 2''; this time, however, the orb and cube are gold in color. The design of the overshield in ''Halo 3'' differs and shares some resemblances from previous titles: the orb appears as a glowing red orb of energy, larger than in previous appearances and without a glass cube encasing it. Though left out of the original game, the overshield appears in ''Halo: Reach'''s Anniversary Map Pack in "Anniversary" gametypes; its physical appearance is similar to that in ''Halo 3''. | ||
After picking up an overshield in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the player's [[HUD]] shield display receives two additional layers of shield: first red then green atop the player's usual blue shield. In ''Halo 3'' multiplayer, the standard overshield pickup only grants a single green layer of extra protection. In ''Reach'''s ''Anniversary'' and custom maps it once again grants two full layers, this time purple atop green. In ''Reach'' the player will also leave a trail of flames on the ground as they walk; this effect, known as "Super Shields," is default in matchmaking, but can be disabled in custom games under the gametype options. | After picking up an overshield in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the player's [[HUD]] shield display receives two additional layers of shield: first red then green atop the player's usual blue shield.
