You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

We're to see plenty of little new features like that in the new game, believe me. Good idea, btw.

I just realized that we MIGHT not have sheilds! Or if we DO...itll be H1 sheilds


Thats what made me think of the jackal shields in the first place.

Why are you even looking at my forum signature? Are you that bored?
Well, check this stuff out: Service Record , File Share , Career Stats

Good idea, it could be a duel wieldable weapon.

I want realistic equipment...like the jackal shield. Having the jackal shield won't be stealing copying gears of war. The books(that were written before Gear's existence) described spartans using them. Bungie would just be making it a reality from the books.

But if the shields could be a duel weapon would you be able to pick up two shields or only be limited to pick up one?

So we get two shields and get to go around groin kicking people. Awesome!

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Maybe they could use this with more objects, that'd be interesting. A little more cover tactics, but not enough to get Bungie fans pissed.

We are making enemies faster than we can kill them.

why, yes this is a good idea, i think some people will get angry. evr play one of the old counterstrike games? it wasnt fun when some noob bought that SWAT shield and had the pistol. all they do is cover themselves behind that and chuck grenades. defiantly not for match,making.lol

Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

Easy fix: Shield is auto dropped/turned off for melee/reload on 1 hand weapons, (a high reload time ) but for a dual gun reload without shield off/drop

I know what you mean like one person on your team would hold two shields and walk in front of the rest of the team giving them total cover from enamy fire. But like you said i can see were people would get pissed with this cover tactic.

there is a huge blind spot with the energy sheild and it it is very prone to plasma guns and the plasma gernade.

Secondary Protocol

Yeah that would be quite interesting. Although, considering the size of the Spartans I'm not sure how effective it was or will be.

True theres a ton of ways you could look at how the jackal shield would or wouldnt work

  • 06.15.2009 7:09 PM PDT

That would be pretty cool. Though there's a LOT of stuff they do in the books that you couldn't possibly bring into a game. The Jackal shields would be interesting, though.

yes, it would be help full. but keep in mind fall of reach is a book

  • 06.18.2009 4:03 PM PDT

amazing idea, maybe try gathering the best posts here and start up another thread with a poll? i'd be sure to vote :D

I like the idea but what if you could be the Jackals! I think that might be cool

I watch this on loop when I'm bored.

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.


Yeah, lets turn this into GoW2. [/sarcasm]
So shields in an FPS make it like GoW2 and no other shooter that has shields?

Bungie should definitely add engineers that you would have to find that you could use to improve your armor. You could also get an achievement for finding them all.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower
