Overshield

Line 12:

In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Overshield appears as a glowing red orb of energy encased in a clear glass cube. The same design is used in ''Halo 2''; this time, however, the orb and cube are gold in color. The design of the Overshield in ''Halo 3'' differs and shares some resemblances from previous titles: the orb appears as a glowing red orb of energy, without a glass cube encasing it.

After picking up an Overshield in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the player's [[Heads-up display]] shield display changes color from blue to red to yellow. The same is present in ~~and~~ ''Halo 2'', though the shield display changes color from blue to red to green instead of to yellow. In ''Halo 3'' however, the shield display only changes from blue to red. This gives the indication that each color represents one layer of shield. A visual effect that is present only in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' is the glowing effect which surrounds the user with an Overshield. This visual effect also negates the [[Active Camouflage|camouflage ability]].

The Overshield can only be found in campaign mode in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. It is absent from ''Halo 2''<nowiki />'s and ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s campaign mode. In ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s campaign mode, a piece of equipment called the [[Invincibility]] which replaces the Overshield. The Overshield makes an appearance in ''Halo 3: ODST'' as a shielding effect awarded to those within the vicinity of a Covenant [[Huragok|Engineer]]; Covenant and UNSC units are provided an additional layer of protection because of the Overshield ability.
