I want to get the real deal on covenant shields in halo 2. I thought i saw a picture somewhere of a new shield for the elite that was handheld rather than a forcefield kind of shield. I also heard from someone that master chief will be able to pick up a covenant shield of some sort, possibly wielded with the covenant sword. With the confirmation of the use of the covenant sword, and the new dual wield feature, this feature seems likely. One more thing- the yellow elites in the first halo used a different-looking sword than the one seen in halo 2 screenshots. Is the new sword an update of the old one, or an entirely new weapon?
