This actually sounds like a fantastic time to implement this. Here's my thoughts and wish list for the shield.
* ODSTs don't have regenerating shields like a spartan therefor need some form of strong protection from tougher enemies. The energy shield would offer an excellent way of defending yourself
* The shield is transparent therefor there wouldn't have to be a switch to 3rd person. You would simply hide behind the shield and look right through it and when you want to shoot, you can hold the left trigger and you will lean out. (Not switching to 3rd person makes things a little more realistic and dramatic to me)
* The shields can be "Turned Off" from taking too much damage therefor balancing the gameplay. You won't be invincible forever.
* Adding on to the shield dying, it turns yellow then red to warn you if your shield is going to die. If it's red, you can easily decide to drop it and take cover behind something sturdy. No surprise shield drops.
* I'm probably wrong on this but Jackals look fairly weak and in a comparable size to the ODSTs. It wouldn't be a hassle for them to hold one of these things (for those of people worried about realistic weight proportions)
__--If the shield were implemented, this is my way of viewing it's uses for gameplay. It's probably nowhere near what Bungie would come up with if they do implement the shield. I'm fantasizing if that's what you'd like to call it.--__
