This is just speculation...but according to all those video of gameplay this is what its gonna be.

-Shield are a bit less powerfull (or weapon deal more damage)
-Shield take like 1.5sec before starting regenerating after getting shot
-Shield take like 1.5sec to regenerate
-There is no health indicator but you still can take some shot after losing the shield

IMO this is it
I also think that this is way better, because people will go offensive MUCH more because they know that they only need 1.5 sec of calm to go full health. Halo 2 keep getting more interesting.

I can't really adgree with you on it being better. Many players skill is based on how fast they can kill some1, I can't tell you how many times i've kill groups of 3 people with no shields left and like 1 bar. If you can take less shots then the game play is going to decrease. Futhermore The comp A.I. is going to shoot through the roof meaning were gonna get shot more and see less, do you think you stand a chance?

For some reason I noticed the complete opposite of you:
* Shield recharges FASTER
* Shield takes a lot MORE damage

If you watch the MP demo it took 5 shots from a SMG to bring it down barely a 1/10th of the way. That's a pretty powerful shield.

The kinetic energy behind the bullets in the SMG probably isnt very much so there wont be much shield damage.

I think 1.5sec is quite fast...
