Can a jackal shield block an energy sword???? just curious cuz if it can, and bungie adds the feature where u can use the jackal shield, thatd be kewl fighting someone with the energy sword, and you have the shield deflecting his every blow. Crazy Melee, is what id call it. Make a game with only swords and shields, ahhh thatd be sweet.

Nope. Made an Elite kill three of them for me once. The shield can not protect against the sword.

speaking of that it wpould be cool if u could dual wield a sword asnd a energy shiled but that would take halo too far away from its cemistry i think. but it is a cool idea

Im just saying tho, if they upped the shield so it can block an energy sword....just for multiplayer tho, thatd be awesome going toe to toe with someone that has the sword and u have the shield.

That would be damn cool! Dual-wielding the sword and shield would be the best. I don't think that you should be able to dual-wield the sword with anything else though. That would just be too powerful.

even if the shield could...it's so small that it'd be easy to hit a spot that wasn't covered.

Dual wielding a Plasma Sword and Energy Shield is with no doubt an awesome idea!

Actually it's not too far off from the ideals of Halo. In the books, on several occasions, Master Chief takes the Jackals shields and uses them for himself. Also about the size of the shield; the shield changes from Halo 1 to Halo 2. They have a much larger protective range, though are able to be dispersed much easier then in Halo 1 (as far as I can tell from the trailers and what I've heard). So it might not be too far off from the Halo Chemistry to claim a shield of a Jackal for yourselves. And yes, that would be "bi#$@" to use a sword and shield simultaneously.

Yeah, very cool, then you could have Roman-style Olympic battles in Multiplayer. Hahaha, sweet.

And one level could be a big collesuem, with everyone having a shield and sword.

I think the shield should replace the "Over Sheild". I'd use it to get away from those pesky snipers, since sniper rounds are deflected off the shield...

Haha, angle the shield to deflect and hit the sniper's own team mate, that would be so funny, ahahaha!

They should at least put this in as a game-type. Y'know shotguns....snipers....rockets....MELEE. And they said that getting a plasma sword in a level will be tough. So they could make the shield tough to get also, so it would not be overpowered.

If someone could master that, I'd consider them "Skilled"... I very much would... Could you imagion a person that was good at redirecting sniper shots back at the person that shot them... That'd be insane...

Well...if something gets talked about over and over, it has a chance of being put into the game.

on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

it would be awesome if you could use l to move the shield into one of two positions. one protecting your head, the other your side. and a shield/energy sword combo would be AWESOME. colloseum fights would be tight.

A bit off topic, but in a colloseum, automated mortars would be tight.

You do realize if the shield/sword combo got into the game, a whole underworld of duelers, clans, tournaments, and ladders would surface. And a whole debate of honor and true skill would ignite between those who feel guns are below them and dishonorable to use and those who play normally. Before you know it, the Montagues would be biting their thumbs at the Capulets and everyone will die and/or be sad. Yeah it would be fun, but it seems like it would take away more from the game than it puts in. Besides, you already have a shield; so are you going to shield your shield? Seems a little ridiculous. Just my two cents.
