Does enyone remember the elites diamond shaped concept shield thingy it was pretty freakin awesome, i wish they'ed bring it back "if you dont remember it was halo combat evolved before its release in the beta vid" just wanted to say that well have fun with this wall of text...I was quite a youngin' at the time of that trailer myself, so I didn't see it, no. I did see it a couple years ago though.
Awesomeness aside (because who the hell can argue that?), it contradicts storyline to give them jackal shields or jackal-like shields. There have never been mentions of such and there has been only one instance like it in the Haloverse; in the story of Ghosts of Onyx. Elites attacking the Spartans defending the portal within Onyx were ordered to wear Jackal Shields, to be extra cautious against the Spartan threat. Every elite grumbled the cowardice of the deed. Elite culture sees shields as weakling defences
If Bungie created a version of Elites that possessed jackal shields, I would be surprised. Pleasantly surprised. But evidence as it stands is against the idea. Don't expect it. But hope for it, as I imagine we all do at least a little.
