They are similar in design to [[Bubble Shield]]s with differences being the color and infinite usage time. The shield door is similar to [[anti-vehicle barrier]]s. | ||
There are several in past Halo games and they appear in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the multiplayer maps [[Epitaph]] and [[Snowbound]]. | Several human structures have been shown to use a version of shield door technology, including the [[ONI Alpha Site]] in [[New Mombasa]] and the space station ''[[Anchor 9]]''.

There are several in past Halo games and they appear in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the multiplayer maps [[Epitaph]] and [[Snowbound]]. In the secondary versions of the maps Snowbound and Epitaph, namely [[Boundless]] and [[Epilogue]], the map Shield Doors are removed. | |||
They are also featured as forge items in the [[Heroic Map Pack|Heroic]], [[Legendary Map Pack|Legendary]] and [[Mythic map pack|Mythic]] map packs and ''[[Halo Reach]]''.

*Despite the fact that shield doors protect from projectiles, plasma and vehicles, explosions can still affect players and objects on the other side of them. A perfect example of this is the underground shield on Snowbound, where the nearby power coils can be detonated to instantly kill players standing on the ''other'' side. It is unknown if this is a glitch or Bungie meant to do this. | *Despite the fact that shield doors protect from projectiles, plasma and vehicles, explosions can still affect players and objects on the other side of them.
