Subject: Regeneration Field in Halo 4

Regen Field coupled with AA Efficiency:

Takes 1 second to deploy
Lasts 10 seconds active
Takes 15 seconds total to fully recharge

So that means you deploy it in 1 second, it fades off after 10 seconds, you wait 5 seconds more and you can use it again. Thus, the little red triangle in your screen lasts 15 seconds.

The more you know. Is this balanced for you?

But it recharges your shields so slow.

Throw a grenade or two in a Regen Field and your screwed.

Like I know, the annoying affect it has on my screen while I'm in it prevents me from ever using it.

Near useless

Red vs Blue Fan. Doc is the best!

I mostly use if to make my shields recharge immediately after they're down, not to recharge my shields faster.

I'm glad you cared to look at this box with letters. Lets hang out sometime! :D

No point in it.

All I got from that AA was a shield and the buzzing sound for the rest of the game...

Yup, to get into combat quicker. In the middle of a firefight even behind a corner and you'll still find disadvantage in your tendency to stay in the regeneration field limiting your movements.

It's a habit I"m trying to kick. I've died so many times haha.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

I don't think it recharges your shields any faster. I think it only decreases the delay between when you begin to recharge.

I might be wrong, but I don't think so.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It's the only useful AA besides jetpack.

  • 12.04.2012 9:09 PM PDT

Decreases the delay and that's about it... Its worthless IMO and a well paced grenade would kill anyone inside(assuming their shields popped when it was deployed...)

Boltshot and regeneration field are a great combo as well. A lot of people run towards you when you deploy it which is stupid on their part.

They're similar to Halo 3 grenades in terms of stats.

You're right.


I always use it with AA efficiency. The best strategy is to deploy it behind a corner, so whenever you move to cover your shields are back up.

I would never enter another players regen field unless I had some sort of melee range weapon my self. Honestly I find the regeneration field much more annoying to deal with at long range, because if you ever miss one or two of your rifle shots his shields start going up and he gains a distinct advantage over you.

I use it for my vehicle loadout. Pretty effective if you're in a pickle.

It's funny when people lay one down thinking it'll save them in a firefight. As long as you continue to put rounds into them their shield won't recharge. However if you place it near cover it can be very useful. I'd say it's pretty balanced; the time it takes for your shield to recharge is somewhat lengthy. It can be a real life/teammate saver if used correctly and in the right locations.

Exactly. I love my regen field. It's on all of my classes.
