i hope so. it seems to be a perfect combination. Though this would seem to imply that the sword can be duel-wielded.

I doubt it, and even if u could it would probably be useles, since it would only cover MC's mid-section, leaving his head and feet vulnerable.

this is true. though against covies the shield could soak up a lot of fire. and if you copied jackals and crouch with a shield and gun you could really give covies problems.

In one of the bungie weekly updates, frankie talked about dual-weilding -CENSORED-, or something like that, & in the mister cheif drawing it had him dual-weilding two plasma swords. Sooooooo... I think that you can, not so sure it will make it in the final version though.

That idea is 2 medievil, way to primative. Good idea but no...

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Besides the fact it can't protect your whole body unless you are crouched, (which is pointless in Multi just throw a nade), makes it a bad idea. Sure it could soak up damage, but what about the Jackals, Grunts who love to charge thier pistols... one shot and the shield is gone... again what was the point of it... to have for one moment and then it's gone? I doubr you'll be able to use it, even though in Fall of Reach the Spartans do use them, though this was before they were given shields of thier own.
