Subject: Weldable Jackal Shields

This would be a cool addition to reach, it would be like a dual weldable weapon with 100 charge and every time it breaks it would deplete 20 charge (or more), it would also be used with the sword, but only the sword. (e.g. sword cant be dual wielded with anything else)

How about while its activated it looses charge. Kinda like when u overcharge a plasma pistol

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Wieldable? Sure, if it's done right.
Dual wieldable? No. I hope dual wielding is removed because it ruins the weapon sandbox.

Uh why ? The only reason is because you think it's cool. It wouldn't add anything to gameplay. Am i missing something here ? Must i also point out that you already have shields ? XD

the point is your shields are down you activated the jackal shield and crouch so it is like a repacement for deployable cover

Why does a man climb a mountain? Because it is there..

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

So we would have 3 cover systems now? (Normal Shields, Deployable Cover, and Now Jackal Shields?

I blame Stosh every Friday!

I like you idea!!!

well, what if your shields are down? Also, you don't really want to lose any shield, and since we're using mark V, the shield is weaker and the health system will be back.
Personnaly, I think that using a jackal shield would be cool.

no just 2 deployable cover did not exist until halo 3

The Monkeys are coming to kill us all!

They did do that in a few of the books. But it should work with any dual weldable weapon. Not the sword, that would be retarded.

If you're shields are down you either take cover or die. Exactly my point you want it just because it's cool. It wouldn't add anything to the game. Now that i think about it, it would take away from gameplay. The shields are there for a reason, and when they're down you're supposed to be vulnerable.

weldable? As in mig or stick welding? I hope you meant weildable...

I didnt say because it was cool you ass.
it is a replacment for deployable cover

  • 07.01.2009 7:24 PM PDT

In the book The fall of Reach, they jump out of the pelican and they loose most of their equipment. They need to take enemy's gear to fight in the way to the Mountain.
It may include Jackal Shield??

Which is completely unecessary, and thus the only good reason any of you have provided so far is "It would be a cool addition."

Kick start a craze

Finally! A legit idea for the game. I was starting to lose faith in humanity with all the time travel and "OmGz teh planet in the legendary ending is totally reach! Here's a picture that shows nothing but proves that I'm right!" theories. In short, I think the Jackal shield would make a fine addition to the halo game play mechanics.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

It would make sense to add a Jackal Shield as a cover.

It provides shielding while moving, and since we are lower tech in armor and shielding, they would be a must to survive.

This has been suggested before. I think it is a cool idea.
