I loved it when cortana saved him from point blank nuclear detonation with a hard light shield that resists one rocket in multiplayer.

Actually it resists everything as long as it's on. Even tank shells can't do anything.

Gameplay mechanics =/= canon. Sure it happened in game but within a cutscene.

This is how it should have ended;

Chief crawls to the nuke, and swings his arm to detonate it. As he does that Cortana stops him, teleports him away, and then uses her hard light body to detonate the nuke instead. She sacrifices herself to save the Chief who was willing to sacrifice himself.

Instead we got some weird space-magic ending where Cortana can protect things at point blank nuclear blast range, despite the Chief seeing the whiteout of the blast.

Bad storytelling is bad.

The hardlight shield can resist Lasers, inceneration cannons and basically everything.

It's a bit different with something like 50cm thick with a sustained power source against a very slim version on a spartan 4. And I believe that he only triggered in and the explosion went off in his ship.

I think there's enough room to fit your version in there. I'm going with that. After all when the ship couldn't hold itself together anymore we see bits and pieces of it floating near Chief, helping support that he was teleported some distance away. Add in that the bright flash could have been Chief being teleported rather than the nuke going off and that sounds like what really happened.

What I love is that she had enough time to activate it. Since Cortana is an AI she has the reflexes to do it. But I think the shield itself would be to slow to activate withing that time period.

I think a shield made out of light would be capable of being activated at the speed of light.

Well now they have an explanations of this, it's a war games simulation on The Infinity and they've nerfed it just like they did multiplayer in real life.

It's made out of light, but the time it would take to turn that light into a solid would be slower than the speed it travels.

Yes but keep in mind he was actually holding the nuke. How did she successfully shield his fingers. Also he was carrying the nuclear warhead, not a detonator.

To all people complaining about the hard light shield surviving a nuke blast:

It's made of light. LIGHT. You can't nuke LIGHT.
