i think you should be able to swing the sheild ......so you could stun an enemy or at least push him back......if you were able to kill them with it it would be cheesy so is you could just rattle them by like pushing them back with it it would be cool

i have not seen the video and i would like to know more


Well ok. I havent seenit in ages though. MC is scouting ahead with a sniper rifle. He sees 2 elites and a few banshees who are conducting a search. The elites brag about how good they are and MC snipes one. The elite is shocked, looks around petrified and then MC nails that one too. Good old MC! :D

He tells the pelican pilot that "The dropzone is clear" and the pelican lands and marines get out. The marines chase to an area guarding by covies. They also run past dinosaur creatures. The marines rocket the covenant and a little battle ensues. Some marines make it inside the facility and are ambushed by some elites and that red elite holding the snazzy shield. Some marines die. The covenant succeed and a few marines are outside. A marine activates a grenade next to a bunch of covies and it blows the area skyhigh (and destroys a cool shadow).

Then the scene skips to a marine on the floor with an elite near him. The elite says that his destruction is the will of the gods and then the marine says something along the lines of "go to hell" i think. The elite is about to kill the marine whenhe spots MC marching towards him with an energy sword. He then charges at the elite, stabs him and the elite drops to the floor. The MC helps the injured marine onto the pelican and the MC says that hes staying and that he still has something to do there. The screen fades to the bungie logo.

Thats about it. can someone correct me if I missed something because I havent seen it in ages lol.

also some sort of human battle shield would be cool. mabye somewhat like a shield that the swat teams use, with a little window to peek through, and a cool metallic texture similar to the marines armor.


Sure they said the same thing in counter strkie and look waht it got them a ****ing wall which you can kill from behind ifthey are not gliching or a lot of nades pitched at them.


That's because they did it bad...

That's a new video that I haven't heard of before. Do you know where I could get it or if a website hosts it or something?

As i already asked in an earlier post, i have heard that you could use the jackal's plasma shield in halo 2. I also pointed out that this is likely given the large dual wield integration and the addition of the plasma sword in halo 2. The reply posts basically stated that none of this is proven so it is all still speculation. I also picked up on a statement that different colored jackel shields have different properties I.E. one deflects bullets, but the other doesn't. I highly doubt this however because i have never sucessfully shot a jackel through its shield with any weapon (except the rocket launcher, of course) The color statement seems to be off too because i only saw one color of jackal shield: blue (the red and yellow colors just indicated that their shields were weakened)

People, please do me and a others a favor, I like reading everyones ideas, but its when they start assuming things that really bothers me, I'm almost at the point of not coming on here anymore because of people always thinking they know everything, I know for a fact that the Jackels shield has not been approved, it really frusturates me about people thinking they know everything, ideas are good, but when you start arguing about things that haven't been approved by Bungie yet is the killer, I'm sure theres a few people out there who agree with me. Please people just stop saying things like " The jackels shield is useable " or " The Carbine has a scope on it " because all of these things haven't even been completely completed yet. Thanks, And message me with a problem because I'll probably not be back in here again.

That pic. was made when Halo was going to be on computer first, it was like around 2000 or something. But I do think a shield should be usable in Halo 2, that would add so much fun, you could have a gladiator gametype, only things on maps would be shields and swords. KICKASS

The thing is, would the shield really protect agenist the sword?

Like I said, I think the plasma pistol should be the new shield rather than create a new weapon. When you charge it up it could mould it to the shape of a shield and protect your 10-2 oclocks. And when you release it, it would just turn into a concentrated charge shot.

This would mean that the shield has a firing mode and you have to hold down the trigger to activate it instead of it unfairly being on 24/7. Does anyone think this is a good idea? I'll probably create a new thread with this post but incorporate a poll so I can see what people think.

I don't know about any of that sheild used as a weapon stuff. My ideal sheild is (in continuity with the Jackal's sheild) one that can only be duel wielded (so that you can only carry one), has only so much energy (I.E.: 100 charge) so that it could only take so many hits and it would be unusable, and a charged plasma pistol shot would take the charge to 0 (but not take down your suit's sheild). Also, like I said earlier in the thread, the left trigger (which usually shoots your duel wielded weapon) should bring up the sheild into a blocking position... any other time it would be kind of off to the side, just enough that oncoming fire will hit you in the face. BOOM!

What are your thoughts?

If it's only Sheild+Sword I won't mind. But when you start getting like the bloody jackals thats all your going ot see is a wall of sheils walking towards you in MP. It could be good it could be bad. It all depends on what the shiled weaknesses are like.

There will be no Plasma Shield/Plasma Sword combo because of this tiny factor you couldnt slice you could only do that one uppercut attack. Unless they made the slice as right trigger. Because when you use the plasma sword you press b and r trig to attack. And to drop a weapon while duel wield you need to use b.
