ok i realize threads like this have been made hundreds of times but while i am on vacation up in minnesota without my halo 3 i get a lot of thinking done and then go to the local library on fridays to show ya'll what i got done. so any way while i was thinking of weapon combos for reach (i was really bored at the time) i thought to my self "what if we could dual wield the jackal shield with an energy sword literally making us like classic spartans (shield and sword)! what do you think yes or no? EDIT: just voting is fine but please comment

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!! *kicks you off a cliff* Anyway, it is a counter intuitive combo, why not make the Jackal Shield duel wieldable with any compatible weapon?

I want Reach to be a combat sandbox, where the fun aspect is that anything is possible. Why not have missile pod, sniper, and kitten turrets? Anyway, I'm sure bungie will make it interesting.

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

a wieldable jackel shield is badass and is going on my list

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

I don't think there should be DW in Reach... except for this purpose. Actually, only way to DW should be to use Jackal shield plus one handed weapon with grenade throwing disabled as trade off (a single handed weapon is weaker usually anyway)

Do you realize how many complaints that would get?

Sure, it would be the best combo since the Plasma Pistol and Battle Rifle but you would be nearly invincible.

So, no.

making the user of a sword practically invincible =/= good idea.

PhoneyMonkeyman is right. It's awesome. What real advantage would be gained by duel-wielding energy swords anyway?
I think that the sword should be duel-wieldable. Sword+Magnum(any kind) is an epic win.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but in the halo novels they constantly describe how spartans pick up jackal shields for use. So i'm thinking Reach should definitely implement this idea.

So, no.



but you do relize that the energy shield comes down really fast when shot by a plasma based weapon
plasma rifle > jackal shield
plasma pistol > jackal shield
so all you would need to do is find one of these to counter and while your at it use them to bring to thier energy shields and get a headshot on them to kill them

The Shield and the Sword are a great idea!!!! it would match perfectly in this fight, but i would prefer a spear xD

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Jackal Shield + any one handed weapon (Magnum, sword, SMG, Spiker, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol)

  • 07.17.2009 5:33 PM PDT

How about not being able to equip anything else with the shield? I kinda like the idea of rushing someone with a shield, putting it away and lunging them with a sword.

  • 07.17.2009 5:38 PM PDT

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

For the win. We need things like that to spice up the game.

you know what make Halo such a great game??Coolix?

is the deep and emotional themes that involves, mythology, religions... specially the Christian religion. All the things that make Halo a great game are not the bullets or the ships, the ancient things of our culture make it so good.


BAHAHAHAHAHA. First of all, what does this have to do with anything mentioned in this thread? Secondly, Halo is a great trilogy because of the game play and story, not the Christian religion...

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

Ok first off shut up. Cheewawa knows what hes talking about when he says that it would ruin the game and it does! I hope they get rid of it in Reach and NEVER put a dumb combo like that.
