Another method that is very useful is the man cannon-bubble shield combo. In [[Valhalla]] and [[Narrows]], there are campers who will hide near the spot where the man cannon shoots people. If a player uses a bubble shield first and throws it onto the cannon, the player can safely land without being immediately killed by grenades or players. | Another method that is very useful is the man cannon-bubble shield combo.

Also, you | Also, you can start a fight inside, and before you die, toss a grenade (any type, preferably plasma grenades); and your weakened foe will die with you. A good way to kill someone in a bubble shield is with the [[Sniper Rifle]]. Make sure you are in a safe position so you don't get assassinated and aim at the player's head. This is quite easy because people usually don't move when they are in a shield. Keep on the player's head and as soon as the shield disappears shoot them. While it may seem very simple, most players do not see this coming, and never expect it. Another fun way of getting through an opponent's bubble shield is to get a vehicle and drive into the player hiding in the shield. This works particularly well with a Warthog or Ghost and is very fun to watch as the victims believe they are perfectly safe. Another strategy is to rush into the shield and step back right when you're in front of it, if it works the other player gets out of the shield, giving you an open shot. Also, it is possible to poke the barrel of a sniper rifle out of the shield while staying safely inside it yourself. | ||
One strategy is, activating a Bubble Shield in a doorway so if you and your team were under fire they could use this shield to get away from the enemy. When an enemy is coming at you while you are in a bubble shield, throwing a grenade and moving out of the bubble shield depletes the enemy's shields so you can kill them with a single melee hit or head shot. On close-quarters combat maps like [[Guardian (Level)|Guardian]] the Bubble Shield can be used to distract enemies while you sneak up behind them and kill them from the posterior flank. Also, in close-quarters maps the Bubble Shield can cover an entire room for protection. Another strategy is to block heavy weapons such as Rocket Launchers and Spartan Lasers with the Bubble Shield causing you to survive and them to waste a shot that would've been otherwise useful. | One strategy is, activating a Bubble Shield in a doorway so if you and your team were under fire they could use this shield to get away from the enemy.
