My immediate concern is that it will make Ascension play like Snowbound or Epitaph. Shield doors were great in concept, not at all in practice.

Why not? It provides great cover. Especially from grenade spam.

And snipers.

Looks more like a big bubble shield to me.

Same principle. People camping inside it with Shotty, popping in and out so you can't kill them. Happened with the Bubble Shield too sometimes.

The problem for that strategy with this map is control. You can't activate the shield and camp for more than a few seconds - one minute at the very most. In order to effectively shotgun camp in there you need to: -Secure the shotgun -Hold the middle -Have a teammate constantly cycle the shield -dodge return fire between shield deployments That sounds like map control to me. I love how 343i are using one of my favorite maps, Zanzibar, as inspiration for a lot of their maps.

It doesn't look like the shield lasts long. And there's just one shotgun. And why would you go near a guy with a shotgun anyway?

Yup. =/ Guess we'll find out! Maybe 343i can disable it too.
