I know this topic has been done before, but I still gotta know somethings D: How long does the shield last for? How much damage can it take (1 grenade then gone?, AR clip?, Rocket?) How quick is the cooldown? Can you immediately start attacking once the shield is down? Sorry if these have been ask before =(
It’s doesn’t last much (pretty sure it’s around 3 seconds).
It’s NOT breakable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t recieve damage from splash damage. I’m pretty sure that a direct Rocket hit (on the shield) would still kill you.
while i dont know the answers to your questions though im sure someone does i think its safe to say the HLS wont be nearly as bad as AL was.
i wish i could help =/
From what I’v eseen, it lasts about 5 seconds if undisturbed, and even less if taking fire. It only protects against small arms and indirect explosives, but a grenade underneath it or on the sides, as well as explosive rockets and sniper shots can still penetrate it.
Walshy said that you can crouch with it to block your feet too, and you can also bounce scattershot rounds underneath it. It sounds like a much more interesting and dynamic AA compared to Armor Lock, and much more balanced as well.
It’s the one I’ll be using in Halo 4.

Sniper shots DO NOT penetrate the shield.
Thought people had to know…
Thanks all 
but does anyone know the CD on it :o? (side-note, 5 seconds of HLS if nobody is attacking you seems a bit short .-. like if your under fire, your basically dead if theirs no corner to sprint around D:

5 seconds is more than enough. It should be used to shield a teammate who’s retreating, temporarily block a door, or help you get into cover. If you’re way out of cover, then it shouldn’t be an easy save for you.
This will quickly be called the Noob Shield.
Oh o-o thought it was suppose to be an easy save for you xD and I enjoyed using AL, yeah o-o You should see how many nades get spammed at me e.e

it should be called a tactical distraction so that enemy fire will be focused on the shield while 2of your friends will have active camo or jet pack. to finish them off
