: The answer is game balance. In FoR MC takes several seconds of continuous pounding from 10 ODSTs firing 15 7.62mm rounds a second and his shields barely drop. Later, he wades through gatling gun sentries like they're not even there and takes a couple shots from a 50mm autocannon mounted on an attack jet with his shields only dropping by a quarter. In Contact Harvest, the only time brutes in power armor (with shields) die is when there's literaly 20 guys hosing them down at once. Overshields can take even that, but a warthog slamming into him at full speed, skidding for a bit, and then slamming him into a wall took it down. One brute (not a chieftai/subchieftain) in particular tanks a full mag (for some reason this version had a 60 round magazine) from a battle rifle while getting shot by 2 assault rifles (he was in a narrow corridor where it would be practically impossible to miss given that he was big even for a brute) and then tanks a mag from a magnum at point blank range. Nothing happens. [[User talk:Saitoh17|Saitoh17]] 19:34, August 31, 2010 (UTC) | |||
I don't believe that the shield is a field of energy, persay, but rather a film of plasma that deflects and softens blows. Just my two cents. --[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 04:40, 8 January 2011 (EST) | |||
