*If either the player or an enemy throws a grenade inside the Bubble Shield, it stays inside and will more than likely kill almost everyone in the shield at that time. | *If either the player or an enemy throws a grenade inside the Bubble Shield, it stays inside and will more than likely kill almost everyone in the shield at that time. | ||
*The generator is very delicate, and if shot from the inside, it will easily explode and destroy the Bubble Shield. | *The generator is very delicate, and if shot from the inside, it will easily explode and destroy the Bubble Shield. | ||
*The Bubble Shield can be affected by other equipment if thrown within the shield proximity. For example, if an opponent throws in a [[Portable Gravity Lift]] near the generator, the Gravity Lift will raise the shield generator up, leaving anyone previously inside the shield defenseless. Additionally, effects from equipments can also be limited ''in'' the shield; if a Regenerator is thrown inside the Bubble Shield, only those within the shield are affected. Likewise, if a [[Power Drain]] is thrown inside an active Bubble Shield, the disabling effects of the Power Drain are contained within the Bubble Shield. | *The Bubble Shield can be affected by other equipment if thrown within the shield proximity.

*The Bubble Shield can be knocked away with a well placed Power Drain or [[Radar Jammer]] thrown at the generator, causing both objects to roll, and leaving anybody previously inside the shield exposed. | *The Bubble Shield can be knocked away with a well placed Power Drain or [[Radar Jammer]] thrown at the generator, causing both objects to roll, and leaving anybody previously inside the shield exposed. | ||

When fighting large numbers of Covenant forces, the Bubble Shield is useful as it protects you from all sides. However, certain berserking [[Brute]]s may leap inside the sphere and beat you down. It is particularly useful against [[Drones]], partially because they usually surround you, and partially because they rarely attempt to enter the sphere. Be aware, however, that after 19 or 20 seconds, the shield will deactivate, leaving you wide open to an attack. | When fighting large numbers of Covenant forces, the Bubble Shield is useful as it protects you from all sides.

Another situation in which the Bubble Shield is useful is protecting you from a [[Scarab]] detonation. It will stop the explosion from harming you completely, unless the explosion starts on the inside of the Bubble Shield. As such, it is advised that you at least exit the Scarab before using the Bubble Shield. Beware that the Scarab's debris will fall through the Bubble Shield and may end your moment of victory prematurely. Another strategy is to use a Bubble Shield as a stepping stone, breaking up combat and allowing the player to use the Bubble Shield to fall back on. This is especially useful at the end of [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]], where there are large, linear sections. | Another situation in which the Bubble Shield is useful is protecting you from a [[Scarab]] detonation.

*The original Bubble Shield was smaller than the finished Bubble Shield, as seen in the [[Starry Night]] video. It stuck into the ground rather then just stand on top of it; it was also originally in a grenade form, seemed more like a personal device and looked similar to [[Invincibility]], another piece of equipment. | *The original Bubble Shield was smaller than the finished Bubble Shield, as seen in the [[Starry Night]] video.
