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)

:In all seriousness, though, I would say that it's an imperfect technology. The Covenant barely understand any of the Forerunner-based machinery they use, and the UNSC have adapted much of their new arsenal from the Covenant's own attempts at reverse-engineering technology well beyond them. Not to mention the fact that it's often a bullet either an extremely powerful shot, ie a rocket or sniper (significant explosive or kinetic energy) or a spray, which overload the shield's ability to restore itself. Perfected, energy shields might be impervious to "modern" kinetic weaponry, but it's still a long way off, and by the time the UNSC gets around to it someone somewhere will probably have developed weapons that exploit flaws in shields. Plasma weaponry has a better excuse, at least. Two electromagnetic fields coming into contact? Can't be good. Then you have the plasma itself splattering against the now-unshielded target. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:46, 8 January 2011 (EST)
