Sorry if someone said this but it would be good to steal a jackals shield and then be able to use it to melee attack people

What I wonder is how would the jackal shield stand up against the new covenant carbine?

think that "IF" the shield will be able to be used in H2, i say if you're holding it you would run slower, you can't melee, you also can't throw grenades. The shield would only take so much damage. "BUT" you can hold a one-handed weapon with you free hand. As well you're accuracy will go to hell, and last but not least you can't put a shield in you're inventory. it's a one time use. To me I see the Jackal shield only use to replace the overshield powerups. The same thing like a smoke or flash grenades replace the invisible powerups.

Now the sheild haves to have drawbacks or people will become shield ho's, just like the powerups ho's in H1.

I would like to see no powerups, but iteams to replace them.

a cool idea would be if once you picked up the shield you could put it away and use bigger guns such as the sniper rifle. after you snipe, bring it out again with one of your duel wielding guns.

I dont think it should be put-awayable. and I DO want to be able to melee with it. takes away the fun of shield bashing if you cant. If you could put it away itl be abused a little too often. How about this when its on your off hand you walk around normal speed but you gotta hold down the L button to place it in front of you. and when its active you move half/quarter speed. I agree with the small weapon held in the other hand thing. you can shoot when the shield is up but your accuracy is terrible and stuff. but if you shoot while the shield is held but not up your accuracy will the same as normal.(only smaller weaponry and NO nades)

Guarding ur head from a Headshot would make the Jackals shield wonderful.
