Shield Strength

Does anybody else feel like the shields are inconsistence?
Every time it is one on one I loose, I know I’m not the best but I can go on just about any other Halo and do a lot better then this.

I imagine the shields feel inconsistent because the starting weapons are inconsistent.

A sidekick can kill you incredibly quickly, but the bloom makes it a gamble. Sometimes people can dump a whole mag and not kill you, sometimes you get dropped quickly because RNG was on their side
