'''Shield Doors''' are [[Snowbound|Covenant]] and [[Epitaph|Forerunner]] made "doors" that are able to allow people and machines through while repelling plasma and gunfire. They are similar in design to energy shields that the [[Jackal]]s wear.

There are several in past Halo games and they appear in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the [[multiplayer]] map [[Snowbound]].

Now they are also featured as forge items in the new [[Heroic Map Pack]] and they can be placed anywhere.

If one stands exactly in the shield door's energy field, doing a melee or shooting in any direction will be negated by the shield. However, the player is still vulnerable from attacks from either side. This also works with the [[Bubble Shield]]. Although the Bubble Shield is similar to the Shield wall, it is still different because the Shield Wall doesn't allow vehicles to pass. By "overloading" a map with shield doors (Using excessive trip mines to cause the map to lose control of the maps graphical and geometrical assets), the shield doors on a map will disappear.

==Trivia==
*Despite the fact that shield doors protect from projectiles, plasma and vehicles, explosions can still affect players and objects on the other side of them. A perfect example of this is the underground shield on Snowbound, where the nearby power coils can be detonated to instantly kill players standing on the ''other'' side.
