    Bungie has been talking about the big new feature the "X" button is going to be for halo 3. They haven't said if its a new move or action however the rumor mill has been strong. Its now believed the "X" button will be a bubble shield. For those who saw the Monday night football trailer will remember he had a temp. shield

    I wonder how this will play out, As it stands MC already has a shield. Would taking hits weaking that shield...
    Will it be a new cheap thing you have to master?
    Hopefully the beta will give us a better answer if this indeed the case

    Yeah its kinda weird. Bungie is kinda hyping it while at the same time saying it won't be anything too special.

    Instead of a bubble shield it should be a new melee option or something, like you grab the guy and steal his gun or something, of course, working only at a close range. I don't know, a bubble shield sounds a bit weird. Hope they don't put it in.
