Idk if anyone else has experience this but there have been numerous times where am being killed during the animation of picking up the over shield and placing it in the chest. is that a glitch or that just how its made to be? I personally don’t think it’s fair that if you pick up the over shield you can get killed before placing it into your chest. It should be an automatic thing that happens.
Thoughts??
Just curious.
I like it. Just means you were to late/slow picking it up…I don’t think it’s a glitch.
It is suppose to happen. it happen a bunch during the HCS and they didn’t even bat an eye at it. You have to be mindful of what happens around you and if it was a glitch, it would have been patch in BoSaL
It’s not a glitch, it’s just how the animation works.
I liked it better in the old games where there was no animation when picking it up. Also, since you were temporarily invincible while picking it up, it made for some strategic usage and timing when you get it sometimes.
Unfortunately it works like assassination…you don’t get the assassination medal if your killed before your kill your opponent, even though you initiated an assassination…If you don’t put in your chest, you don’t get the overshield…
Yup, has to do with timing and strategy. That’s why a lot of people toss grenades ahead of them while getting the shield to take out possible melee or spartan charge before getting the overshield—especially on Empire and Plaza

The old grenade throw for the overshield while crouch jumping over the ledge for the rockets in Damination in Halo:CE was one of my favorite moves.
I love the mechanic. Nothing more satisfying than nailing a guy after he grabbed it but before he could activate it.
