i can only use it in fire fight, it would be great to have it in big team as the maps are quite open, so it woundnt be overpowered.
It was in BTB but people spammed it a lot in objective based gametypes(CTF) so Bungie took it out during a playlist update.

Pretty much this. I think it was in more than BTB too though but the reason it’s gone is still the same. .
It’s still in Invasion.
It’s still in Invasion, I believe.

Beat ya.
As logical as Bungie is, they responded to quite a few complaints they shouldn’t have with Reach.
I’d love to see the drop shield make a comeback. Its easily the most balanced and fair AA of them all, except hologram of course but holo is fairly useless 
Let people spam it over the objectives. It can be destroyed and you can drive vehicles through it so I don’t see what the big problem is. A single wraith would easily kill everyone camping the flag with the drop shield just by boosting through it. Hell a ghost or revenant, even a warthog would. If not in objective gametypes (which I can kinda see why they took it out) at least put it in slayer. I can’t think of a legit reason to take it out of slayer. If I got the option, i’d definetly use drop shield alot. It feels the most classic to me because its essentially a pretty, blue bubble shield.

Hologram is hilariously useful.

I may have to try it then. I’ll admit I’ve hardly used it, but only because I hardly fall for it myself and neither do my friends so I assumed no one else did either.
I use it for a few things.
1: Making a sniper waste a shot.
2: If I’m low on health, I send the hologram one way and me the other.
3: If some one is chasing me, I send it out towards them, flank them, and assassinate them.
4: If I’m an Elite in Invasion, the hologram comes with the energy sword. This is when I’ll charge someone. I’ll let the hologram loose, fall back a tad, and watch them either punch or waste a round on the hologram, and proceed to hit them with the sword while they’re disoriented.
The Drop Shield is quite useful in the hands of a good player, just like the Hologram. I don’t see a reason why it was removed. It prevents DMR cross-map kills, but only lasts a little bit.
