Jackal shields are much easier to carry than hunter shields!!

I think the shield idea is sweet and it would be balanced in sp and mp. You may be gaining extra defence, but your own personal firepower will go way down. You will only be able to hold 1-handed weapons when the shield is activated so you won't become some kind of unstopable super-god on the battlefield. You will be particularly vulnerable to vehicles because you won't be able to carry any of the large 2-handed anit-vehicular weaponry. Plus for all those people who say its useless against plasma, it is better that the plasma is hitting the hand held shield instead of your full-body shield or your health. It would take 2 overcharged shots to take down your shields. The first overcharge shot would take out the jackal shield (assuming that the shield was positioned in front of the blast), and the second would take out your regular shield. By the time you have done that, the guy with the shield is probably close to killing you if you are not already dead.

Also, wouldn't it be sweet in sp if your marines friends scavanged dead jackals for shields that they would use for themselves. Judging by the first game, they could really use some shielding.

Oh yea, I think somebody already mentioned this but having the energy sword and shield at the same time would be totally badass!! It's like Medievil Master Chief!!

Shields would be a brilliant strategic object in Halo2 i.e. protecting your teamates in multiplayer (c.t.f., k.o.t.h)
