Subject: Bring Back the Overshield!

I think Bungie should bring back the old Overshield.

It wasn't a problem, apparently kids in H3 were just too nooby to be able to handle it.

Bring it back, stop watering down Halo.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

I think I'm noticing a distinct pattern in your posts. I could be just mistaking the avatar though.

Anyway, the overshield changed?

With the OP?

I for one would like to know what the frak he's talking about. How exactly has Halo 3 "noobified" the overshield, as far as I can tell it's exactly the same as the other game's (aside from a couple stat defaults)?

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

It doesn't give you limited invisibility, and it gives more sheilds.

Overshield is fine for all gametypes that aren't FFA.

Has everybody here only played halo 3?

the overshield in halo 1 and 2 gave you two extra shields on top of your normal shield. In halo 3 you only have one additional shield.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Well, it's just a temporary advantage, even less so compared to someone having a rocket. That being said, both can be dealt with if you use the right strategies.


As for the topic, I dunno. Depends on how powerful the weapons are versus shields and base health.
