I find myself a lot of times trying to wait for my shields to recharge to go into combat but a lot of factors like instant respawn and spawn positions make it harder to live in Halo 4. The recharge wait feels even slower than Reach’s and I belive that the recharge rate should be at least 5.5 seconds.
Change your Tactical Package to Shielding. You will find your shields recharge at a much higher speed.
Select the faster shield recharge option in your loadout, it makes a big difference.

I tried that. It only affects the RATE at which your shields recharge. The delay before it starts charging is still painfully slow.

People can’t read lol
Shield Recharge Rate is how long it takes your shields to refill.
Shield Recharge Delay is how long it takes your shields to start recharging after you’ve taken damage.
I agree that the time seems a little too long, especially compared to older Halo’s. I find myself being killed a lot because my shields seem to take far too long to start recharging.
I agree, I believe currently its 6 seconds to recharge. It should be 4-5 seconds.

I tried it too. Thinking it would save me a lot. In reality ‘Shielding’ doesnt help one bit. You never get caught when your shield is charging, since the charge is i think two or three seconds, but when you’re sitting there going “charge please, charge please CHARGE RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW!!!” Is always when you get tagged.
Shielding really should change the charge delay, having the recharge speed is worthless.

Yep. Use the shielding perk and solves problem.
Another great example of how 343i balanced out this game so well. Makes it more fun, more variety.

The Shielding upgrade does not fix recharge delay, which is what we’re talking about.
