I think its a awesome idea Ash. it would become unfair if the shield stayed on all the time, at least with the strength that it has in halo 1. your idea would work very well, staying on only as long as the shot is charged. therefore, it would not be over used as the normal jackal shield would be. i dont think it has a very high chance of making it into the game, but i think its a good idea. although if you really think about it, the normal jackal shield might not be so bad. all you would need to disarm a enemy carrying one would be a well placed grenade or sniper shot. it would also be more balanced if you could only use the plasma pistol or other small weapons while holding it. no running around with a rocket launcher and blocking bullets with the shield. all i know is that Bungie will make it completly balanced and awesome whether they choose to put the shield in or leave it out. i think people forget that Bungie does know what they are doing. they will do what ever is going to make Halo 2 the best game ever.
