I highly doubt and would argue against the stupid sworn to secrecy idea. The guys at that site put everything they experienced on the web to read and I thank them. I see what you could mistake for a jackal shield, but if it was there, they would have said so in the story. That being said, I still would like to see MC with one in Halo 2, if it's balanced

I see it, and my first reaction here was "holy -blam!-"
but, it's not the sheild. The elite that the red guy was shooting had sheilds, and I'm assuming so did the red guy. Has anyone seen the animations for when you get hit by a single bullet? your sheilds kinda resonate. Now, the elite, or the red guy, are being shot at close range with an SMG, hence LOTS of bullets creating lots of resonating spots. This, in my opinion is what is making for a very convincing view of the jackal's sheilds.

dude, dont you think the media wouldve said "WEVE TRIED THE NEW WEAPON ITS A MAKES YOU BLEED THING" they wouldve told us that by now. The media are little nosy 6 year olds who dont stop asking stupid questions. I think something as important as this would make it to the front page.

I think I seen it. The very last frame, you see the Elite dying, and there is a blue thing at teh torso of the Spartan. If you freeze frame, you see that it was at the torso of the Spartan , and it migrates to the arm, so I think its just the Elite's sheild collapsing or the Spartan's sheild recharging ( the said you can see the sheild recharge now).

eather you belive it or you dont it is insanely hard to get anyone to believe anything that bungie hasn't said "yes it is in the game" so let people think as they will








but it dose resemble a shield

First, thanks for that link. Great narrative and video on the game...I can't wait for this.
Second, what I see in the point blank video is the plasma sword. This is going to be a big HALO2 weapon, useable by both elites and spartans. One great move with the plasma sword is the death stab, or whatever it is really called. You can take the sword and melee with it, or take it and stab the player right through for the instant kill. I bet when you stab them - that is when they bleed like a river.

Its definately not the shield being shot that makes that orange glow. Its too far from the spartans body for that.

it couldn't possibly be the spatains shields. if you watched the demo, the elites shield appeared around his ENTIRE body, even though he was only shot with a few bullets. and, also based on the fact that the only difference between the elites and spartains shileds is the color, i'm getting more and more conviced that that was a jackal shield. it was too focused on one spot to be the regular shield.

hey if you guys see that their could be a new pick up were you can deskise your self as a mc or a elite. Because if you look at the mc he turns into the elite when he dies.

Is this jackals shield thing At the end of the clip? Because at the end of the clip after the red Spartan is running away with the elite beside him it looks as if he takes out the jackals shields but I am not so sure…

I've taken a long look at it and I must say we'll never get a proper answer, I sincerly doubt it is a shield as:
a) someone would have said something by now.
b)it's probably a particle affect or shield resonation, (notice how it's the same shade as the elite's energy shield)
c) why have an aditional shield? Think about how powerful the chief's shield is anyway (not including the MJOLNIR mk6 upgrade) if you look at the the E3 video last year you see how useless the jackal's shields are against the new weapons, not even counting covenant plasma weapons, the jackels shield it probably isn't.
The only "for" argument is that maybe it could be there to complement the energy blade OR continuity as in the first halo novel the MC steals one I recall it could be used simply to make the game more interactive in SP and got carried over into MP.

it is not a jackals shield. The red guys shield is showing from a gun shot. Any ways a jackals shield has two small holes in the side of the shield they are not there. And bungie did not change the shape of the jackals shield.

perhaps it somthing that no one here has mentioned. Maybe this time around bungie has changed the way shields react to fire. The shields may only light up in the area where they are struck by a bullet or plasma round. just a thought.
No, its in a nice circle thats not even on his body. You can see that the Spartan that did the killing pick it up right after the Elite respawns. He bends over a bit then it pops up into his left arm.

I really do think its the shield, but its weird noboby from E3 mentioned it. I guess I will do what your doing and just wait for Bungie to say something about it.

Thats exactly what I was talking about. You can see it at the very beginning to before you press play, it right next to the reticle.

Its his leg, Hes a red spartan with orange on his leg, you can clearly see it is, well I can. Its on his left, not his front, at the end, I have no idea what your talking about, I'll look one sec.

Nevermind, its not his legs... It's his hands, if you play it slowly you can see that it comes closer and its really his hands, its the exact color of a jackel shield from halo 1 though. Do we have any proof yet of orange shielded jackels yet?

that orange thing at the begining can possibly be a nav point for the flag, and at the end, the "sheild" might be the red spartan activating the plasma sword and trying to cut that elite up.

The blue thing is not a shield, its just like the energy burst that happens when you kill someone with the energy sword. If you look, the covenant has the sword and kills the guy "point blank"
