In this continuity, shields only protect a single object instead of entire cities, can be worn down by projectile fire, and are so bulky that only vehicles and buildings can carry them - and even then, only the ridiculously wealthy Ordos can afford to employ them ( they still cause violent explosions when shot with laser weapons, but since only the Ordos use lasers this rarely comes into play). In the Dune books, shields had changed the paradigm of warfare by rendering artillery and 'traditional' ranged weapons obsolete, and forced armies to engage using infantry and melee fighting using specific techniques designed to get through an opponent's shield: They could only not be used on Arrakis because their vibrations enraged the Sandworms.
