Z-4190 bubble shield: Difference between revisions

The Bubble Shield projects a transparent, slightly white/gold tinted protective sphere around the user. The shield itself is similar to a [[Wikipedia:Geodesic dome|geodesic dome]], made of tessellating hexagons. The shield protects against bullets, explosions, lasers, [[plasma]], flames, grenades, and other projectiles used primarily by the [[Covenant]]. An early form of the Bubble Shield was used in the original teaser trailer for [[Halo 3]]. It is shown being used by the [[Master Chief]] to protect him from an incoming Plasma Mortar. In the video the bubble shield looked like a type of grenade leading to rumors that it would be one of the new grenade types. [[Vehicles]] and players however, are still able to pass through it.  After a significant amount of time, (about 19 seconds), has passed it will collapse. Whether of Covenant or Human origin is unknown as there is little information and much speculation for both theories. Many point out that the [[Covenant Loyalists]], mainly the [[Brutes]], have been known to secure [[human]] [[weapons]] and equipment for their own ends, thus pointing to the Bubble Shield as being one of human development.
