===Disadvantages===
Due to the bright glow of the overshields, the wearer is made more visible to other players, often drawing unwanted attention. In [[multiplayer]], the overshield slowly loses its strength over prolonged periods of time, unless the player is a [[Juggernaut]], [[VIP]], or [[Grifball]] carrier. A shield (with overshield) can be fully depleted by an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot. Also, many players place traps bear/on the Overshield, such as chucking [[fragmentation grenades]] or placing [[Trip Mines]] there.

Note: The glow does not appear in [[Halo:Combat Evolved]], and therefore has no disadvantages. The glow was probably added to balance the power up.
