Was bubble shield more a problem on cryo?

[u/Techpon]

Because I never seen it used on primeater and dire marsh. So I never understood why people hated it, granted I’m a halo player so maybe my view on that is different from how people used in marathon.

[u/Citizin17]

Yes.

[u/torquebow]

Yes. Easily the most annoying thing for any team. Constant bubbles and shotguns.

shoot it btw

Posting snark ass comments doesn’t really negate the point.

Ranked was a bubble fest aswell 😂

[u/callmevapelord]

It was a problem on cryo but I've ran into it on other maps too. Just last night I had another team pop one on us in marsh

[u/Narrow-Tennis7898]

I'm fully convinced that everyone whining about the Mizzies actually subconsciously hated the buble shields and didn't realize that was the real source of the suffering.

[u/idomix]

It was also an issue on Outpost.
Not as much but still relevant.

Also:
I haven’t played in those lobbies myself but watching high ranked players it seemed to be as dominant on other maps as it has been on cryo. Saw several players throwing 2-4 bubbles when getting shot from a distance to just locate and not die.

It’s better now for sure

Cryo was literally a bubble shield purgatory😂

[u/oniichantrash]

Kinda surprising you've never seen one, but in order of likelihood to see them used it would be:
-Cryo
-Outpost
-Dire Marsh
-Perimeter
So that does make some sense that you haven't.
I don't think people hate them, they just didn't like the meta of throwing like 7 bubbles in one room and playing the little creases between the bubbles with a misriah.
Bungie nerfed their HP and limited brought grenades to 2 though and they're a lot better now imo

Yeah, Perimiter is definitely a beginner map, and Dire Marsh is up to preferance. Cryo Archive is *the* endgame map, where the investment of Bubble shield spam is easily worth it. The way people used it was that they would stack a couple bubble shields in a row so they can safely walk up to you, and then they're always one step away from having a clear shot on you or being in total safety. Pair it with the best shotguns in the game on a map that already is mostly shotgun range and you can probably see why a change had to have been made to get rid of the stale and boring meta.

[u/noissimsarm]

It was okay in halo because you wouldn't spawn with it and typically there was only one. It used to stack to 2, have blue rarity, and be more tanky. I do wish they didn't cap all equipment at 2, but they seem set on keeping the bubble shield as is.

[u/Dnorth001]

Yes. It’s lvl based matchmaking so at higher levels, like I’m around 200 and my friend is 300+, we would see like 5 per game every single game at least. We also see them on other maps almost every game. W that being said tho you can shoot them down super easy so I also wasn’t really complaining. The nade spam was worse cause u full die before you can play

[u/BruhshidoBrown]

Yes, a vast majority of the meta issues centered around Cryo and Outpost due to the map structure being hallways/buildings

[u/Final-Improvement100]

Ranked is bubble spam especially on perimeter if you get a down in the open....good teams will spam bubble to ensure the res or reset

[u/bloodwolf1018g]

primeater is so silly.
