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?

I think the sword may be an upgrade, but more likly they just made it look cooler. As for the shield, not confirmmed, but there are a ton of topics about using a jackal's shield in combonation with a sword, and personnely i think it could be cool. But not confirmed.

Its not confirmed if you can use the sheild or dual weild with the sheild/ sword but i highly doubt it.
Ya the sword in halo 1 and halo 2 are the same sword just a different model for it.
Ive never seen a Elite weild a Jackals sheild, you might have mistaken the jackal for an elite.

This was planned for Halo1 but was cut out. I've seen an elite with a Plasma Sword and shield. The marines couldn't even touch him.

Can't help you with the last question, but no you cannot use a jackels shield, the the energy sword is two-handed. I do not see why an Elite would use a Jackels shield when it has a full body shield.

You have a link?

The shield will be useless when up against the Covenant's plasma weapons.
And everything you just said was a rumor, and I doubt any of it is true.
