Subject: Jackal arm shields

In the book Fall of Reach the spartans were able to pick up the jackal arm shields before there suits had shields and even after. I was just thinking that would be something useful they could add in Halo Reach.

What do you guys think?

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

I would really like to see that, but it would need to be balanced well.

Like you could only fire and hold the shield up at the same time if you were holding a 1 handed weapon, but you could still use it and defend yourself if you were holding say an Assault Rifle, but you wouldn't fire with one hand.

I think that it should be like a duel wield but when you pull the trigger it brings the shield up and limits your view and accuracy. Say you have an AR and a Jackal Shield, the shield would take up half the screen and your AR would "walk up" like an SMG.

Another possibility is when you have the shield up you can lean in and out of the shield....but that would be to much I think

When you have the shield and a two-handed weapon you would fire normally with two hands. The shield would stay on your left wrist. It would protect your left side. Pressing LT would raise the shield over your torso and face, crouching would also protect your legs. You can't shoot a two handed weapon with the shield raised.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

There are so many possibilities that this game could take, but I would like to see this. It would be like an over shield, take too many shots, and it will be destroyed, but if an enemy finds the unprotected parts of your body, they will take down their shields and can kill them also.

  • 06.14.2009 8:56 PM PDT

But guys, spartans can wield a two handed weapon one handed. A normal marine cant but think about it, a spike rifle is two handed for a marine. Spartans use it like a pistol.

  • 06.14.2009 8:56 PM PDT

Ahhh! can't believe they took it out of the dictionary ....and NO I'm not coming out of my shell untill you get that THING off my avatar

agreed,

also put in the engineers. I just put up a post asking for them!

  • 06.14.2009 8:58 PM PDT

I think they should get rid of the stupid bubble shields and regens and just give us Jackal shields as a new portective equpiment. It doesn't make youbasically invincable but it still protects you while you get to safety.

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

It would be great, but rather hard to pull off. I guess it could be the same as dual wielding, except if you wanted to shoot you had to drop the shield and pick it back up afterwards.
