Subject: Hardlight shield is amazingly good.

Ever have a frustrating moment trying to push up in corridor-like spots?

People camping around corners?

Boltshot about to tear you a new one?

All of these can be easily countered with a Hardlight shield and a smart teammate. You tank the shots, your team mate gets the kill.

People get so angry when hardlight works against them aswell.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Mine now, -blam!-...

You have to land a grenade behind them, and most of the time they fail because of the stressful situation.

And even then I can move and use the explosives perk.

Not really deflect I don't think, shields you from the blast at least. I know it's saved me multiple times, each time includes me coming out with an incineration cannon.

  • 12.06.2012 8:12 PM PDT

Well what fool would put up hardlight before they shoot?

That said, most people fire that thing next to you anyways...But you can bait them to shoot from far away.

Most Halo players are not smart so...

Yes, because that's going to work every time.

And why would you deploy the shield before they shoot? That's just counterproductive and gives away that fact that you have the shield.

Neat, noted for future use.

343 will save us

On big maps it's got its moments, but on small maps there's nothing stopping you from just running up to them and beating them down, assuming you can't shoot them in the side.

This hardly ever works...If you know they are going to strafe around you you can simply turn to block more.

And you know...I said I'd have a nearby teammate just to put you down.

Refer to previous quote, its especially useful on Adrift/Haven.

Sure has saved my ass more than once. Got lucky with it a few times and managed to deflect an entire wraith plasma shell to save a few of my teammates. Also encourages them pesky DMR buggers to try and get closer into a more fair range.

Its really fun just flipping it up when the enemy team has a crapload of snipers from their drops and the stupid people with them just beat at your shield as you advance.

  • 12.06.2012 8:20 PM PDT

+1 for you good sir.

I hardly use it, but people always use it when I'm trying to pick them off from across the map. I can't see it being very useful in CQC.

  • 12.06.2012 8:25 PM PDT

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

The problem is that it is said to block light gunfire and small explosions, and not even an hour ago I was defeated because someone block both the missiles AND the machine gun from my mantis.

  • 12.06.2012 8:26 PM PDT

Doesn't look too good to me, but then again I've never used it.

  • 12.06.2012 8:28 PM PDT

Its very useful at baiting people out of camping spots, the trick is you need a teammate to put em down.

i have played all the halo games possible. and i love to forge in halo reach. i am on b.net almost everyday for the past year and half and i hope to keep going with my halo spirit.

It's immune to all damage. I tested it I fired a tank shot at it and it did nothing to the shield,

  • 12.06.2012 8:35 PM PDT

Thank you for the test! I now know I can face just about everything with it.

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

People need to stop using it as a pause button when their shields drop in a DMR fight. I'm just going to line up the headshot and wait patiently, your teammates aren't going to help you, and I'm not getting close enough for you to use whatever other weapon you might have.

I want to see more people use it to protect flag carriers and the like.
