'''Shield doors''' | '''Shield doors''' are energy fields that can repel [[plasma]], gunfire, [[vehicles]] and virtually any other object,<ref name="The Oracle">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> with some types exclusively allowing living beings to pass through.<ref name="Snowbound">'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map ''[[Snowbound (Level)|Snowbound]]''</ref> They are similar in design to [[bubble shield]]s with differences being the color and infinite usage time. [[Anti-vehicle barrier]]s are a larger-scale application of shield door technology. | ||
The technology has been used by the [[Forerunner]]s,<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map ''[[Epitaph (Level)|Epitaph]]''</ref> | The technology has been used by the [[Forerunner]]s,<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map ''[[Epitaph (Level)|Epitaph]]''</ref><ref name="The Oracle"/> the [[Covenant]],<ref name="Snowbound"/> and, to a limited extent, [[human]]ity.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', [[Firefight]] map ''[[Alpha Site]]''</ref> | ||

It is unknown if this is a glitch or Bungie meant to do this. | *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.

*The shield doors in ''Halo 3'' all appear to be of Covenant origin and have obvious projectors while the Shield doors in ''Halo: Reach'' appear to be of [[Forerunner]] origin and appear as a simple wall of energy with no obvious projection point. | *The shield doors in ''Halo 3'' all appear to be of Covenant origin and have obvious projectors while the Shield doors in ''Halo: Reach'' appear to be of [[Forerunner]] origin and appear as a simple wall of energy with no obvious projection point. | ||
