Master Chief is 7 feet high, and the jackals are about 4.5. Holding the shield would be like holding a hub-cap in front of you or something. In short, it would look stupid. The jackals have shields because they are physically weak and do not having recharging shields. MC is strong, and DOES have recharging shields. It might be like putting on a Grunt's gas mask to protect your face.
