I know there have been post about picking up a jackel shield, but what about a human shield similar to the hunter shield only smaller.

We would be slowed down too much from carrying it(eve if it were smaller) giving the enemy a chance to outflank us. Plus the Hunter shield is made of an unknown alloy to us.

Im saying hunter like (as in just a big sheet of metal) plus MC is super strong.

John could do it, but I doubt he would. It would slow him down(a little) and would be in the way of his full fighting capabilities.

I just think maybe it be useful is deflecting plasma swords. It could be quite small , like 2 1/2 feet long, foot wide and like 3-5 inches thick.

The last man on Earth sat in a room, there came a knock at the door.

Service Record

The plasma swords would melt right through the shield. It already kills the MC in one hit with his awesome armor, what's another couple of inches?

I've had an Elite kill a Hunter before with a plasma sword and the Elite hit the Hunter's sheild. It is an instant kill no matter what.

Use your imagination. im just saying "what if" the was a shield that could block plasma sword hits. And that Elite that hit an hunter probably wasnt programed to take hits from the plasma sword.

I can see that it might help the marines as they worked in a team, kinda like a riot shield that was good against covenat weapons allowing them to move under fire, plus if it where in the game you could make it so if plasma shots hit the shield then it wouldn't slow you down like when you normally get hit with plasma shots in the game.
