Subject: Weldable Jackal Shields

I would rather take cover behind the closest wall or object.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I was thinking that'd be cool for Halo 2 haha. Anyway, I think it'd be good if you could only use a dual-weildable weapon with it. Not the sword. And that to have it sheild your front you had to hold the left trigger and other than that it would be at your side protecting you.

This seems like a good idea. Of course, it would be moving around while you reload and run across maps, as you couldn't keep it steady.

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


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.


Who said we were using Mark V? Anything could happen.

Its Reach. That means we will without a doubt be using Mk V. If they stick to Canon, our shields will be weaker and recharge slower. Jackal shields would be a fun edition but should be like a form of equipment that causes you to lower your weapon and use it strictly as defense for a minute.

Well, welding a shield like that might be a tad complex, but wielding a shield would be cool. I like your idea.

I didnt say because it was cool you ass.
it is a replacment for deployable cover
Which is completely unecessary, and thus the only good reason any of you have provided so far is "It would be a cool addition."

listen you moron I NEVER SAID BECAUSE IT WOULD BE COOL.
is deployable cover and the bubble shield stupid?

I don't think you are allowed to talk about bungie on Bungie.net.

You mean like this?

  • 07.01.2009 11:20 PM PDT

a very good idea.

It reminds me of the movie Troy ( it reminds me of Achilles particularly...) hehe
I read this before, yes it would be good, and the swrw wouldn't be overpowered... and if I would be, it doesn't matter because the Battle Rifle is overpowered to...
please bungie remove the Battle Rifle of the Halo franchise!! at least form Halo reach

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

NO there is already enough trouble with shooting a guy 5 times and then him getting away,it would increase gameplay time way to much.and in term would make it really hard to get medals such as overkill and so on.

you cant move except in a crouch walk so a grenade would beat it

common sense is not commonly used

I think the jackal shield would be a good addition. How its implemented is hard though. IT has a feel like equipment, but it would be used like a weapon.

u should be able to do this and use an weapon only with way less accuracy to compensate considering your using one hand with for example BR

  • 07.01.2009 11:45 PM PDT

what was being used before halo one armor enhancements? this could work. however how big would the jackal shield be compared to a spartan? it might be small compared to a spartan, then of course you have your spartan shield that would take up what the jackal shield would miss. now for the weapon you could use, well your a spartan, br could be used since its a short burst weapon, along with a sword or pistol, smg could work too. have to remember guys spartans are stronger cause of the enhancements they were given during the spartan program.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Pretty cool idea. I wouldn't doubt that it's in the game. It could let you take more damage, but at the cost of accuracy or something like that.
