It's that easy? (Comparitevly, I mean.) Because they never suggested that in the article. Eh, gossip news people!

The Metroid system is described best as Halo shielding with backup tanks. So if one shield is depleted, another takes its place. So your shield instantly recharging, but it has a limited amount of power to draw from, though that can be upgraded. So in Halo this would be a neat system, since you can take a MUCH greater beating, but once your shield is completely depleted, it's out until you find a power source. Sound good?
