I really doubt the shield "grenade" will be used constantly in-game, if it does actually make it to the final product. Let's not forget that it's an object and typically in the Halo games you cant carry a huge amount of anything like grenades or weapons. Also, using the X button simply for that would be a waste of a surprise (since it could be used similarly to a grenade (yes I know it's not one)) so that's doubtful.
For anyone complaining that it could ruin the game if used, if it's really that bad then Bungie will discover this during the public beta and remove it.
Really though, I cant see it being used, I doubt anyone could anticipate a grenade or projectile explosion early enough to use it effectively, and if used to stop gunfire then the player will essentially be trapping themselves. If anything it would be used for blocking doorways and other general abuse, something I'm sure bungie are already aware of.
