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]]. | The Bubble Shield projects a transparent, slightly white/gold tinted protective sphere around the user.

The shield protects against bullets, explosions, lasers, [[plasma]], flames, [[grenades]], and other projectiles used primarily by the [[Covenant]]. [[Vehicles]] and players however, are still able to pass through it. After approximately 20 seconds has passed, the shield will collapse and the generator will self-destruct. 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. | ||
An early form of the Bubble Shield was used in the original teaser trailer for [[Halo 3]]. It is shown being used by [[Master Chief]] to protect him from an incoming [[Wraith]] mortar. In the teaser trailer, the Bubble Shield looked like a type of grenade leading to rumors that it would be one of the new grenade types. | An early form of the Bubble Shield was used in the original teaser trailer for [[Halo 3]].
