The latest leaked Halo 3 internal beta footage has brought to light a new design for the "Bubble Shield". A tripod-like device that will stay stationary unless moved by a grenade on the inside. Throughout all these physical changes, the shield itself has stayed the same with the hexagon patterns and transparency.

The bubble shield projects a defensive field around the user when deployed that appears impervious to harm. In the latest ViDoc, it appears to be thrown onto the ground as a way of activation.  In the latest ViDoc, it rolled down a hill, Frankie has said in a weekly update that the Bubble Shield will not roll in the Beta, whether or not it will roll in the final game appears to be unlikely.

The aesthetics of the bubble-shield have changed somewhat from its [[Starry Night| first appearance]], becoming larger and roughly spherical in shape. This may be due to the fact that what we've seen thus far is a very rough build. Frankie explained via weekly update that everything is much further along then what we got to see in the Vidoc. The shield was later seen in the leaked [[Last Resort]] video. It appears to look like it did in the [[Starry Night]] video, although it is on a tripod and slightly larger.
