Energy shielding

Summary
Shields, which are generated by MJOLNIR armor or the Elite's armor, provide the user with an extra layer of armor but its strength differs hugely from difficulty to difficulty. It will protect their Health from damage until it is depleted, and it will regenerate after a while, provided that the user is not injured during this time. In Multiplayer, you can have 50%, 100%, 200%, or 300% shield, or none at all. In Halo 1 it is shown at the top-right corner of the screen, in Halo 2 it is in the bottom-left. They have been changed since Halo: CE by making it charge faster and more resistance.

Be forewarned, although the shield protects your health, it doesn't render you invincible. Pay attention to your shield meter, and if it is depleted, seek cover until it regenerates. Also, it will not protect you from everything, and rockets, grenades, sniper bullets, and some other weapons may shred right through it.
