Subject: jackal shield + energy sword= epic combo??

It wouldn't be to much protection, considering Jackals have to crouch behind it, and spartans are way taller, the shield woulden't cover much.

hahah so?

yes, Halo CE had a great gameplay, thats why Halo is the greatest game ever, I think I didn't expressed myself well... anyway.

Lets talk about the shield and sword, this thread is not about Halo and culture

I like the idea of being able to use the jackal shield with a dual wield gun. The jackal shield should definitely be usable in campaign, and maybe in multiplayer if it is balanced right and plays well. I could see a custom games setting be replace all overshields and camo with shields. Jackal shields should at least be able to be placed on a map in forge. One last thought would be that jackal shields could be activated like a piece of equipment.

The game is already over complicated and slow. So on second though I've decided its a bad idea. I think Halo Reach needs to make what we already have work better.

u know how people -blam!- about the sword being nooby, which it is, now imagine how many people will absolutly go ape-blam!- over that being beyond nooby, which it would be

I think the shield should be usable, however, the sword should not be dual-wieldable. I do have to ideas about the shield. It should be activated as a weapon, not equipment, only because you should be able to hit people with hit (would that not be badass?). As to it bing over-powering, it should have a battery life, and able to be turned on and off to conserve the energy. Anyone else agree?

I remember seeing an old concept art of a top Elite with their own shields back in pre-xbox Halo.

I say no because it would create an unfair advantage for people who already camp with the sword as one of the only ways to kill them is to stick them as they are lunging, if they shield is infront of them and they are camping a close quarters area, there untouchable.

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.



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


I'm talking about close combat.

How many people do you see that use Plasma weapons? If a player was using the BR against this, they'd be dead.

If you could dual wield the energy sword with a jackal shield than to keep the game more balanced the sword shouldn't be able to lunge very far.

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...




WTF man??? if a game is good, is good for waht it haz, sword and shield are from acient times, and are entirely symbolic in Halo too bad you can't see beyond

do you know what Tartarus is?? d o you know why Bungie used the number 117? do you know why ...? for get it
hahah I guess you will NEVER get it, too bad, my 5 year old sister understand it..


I think that Halo's Gameplay got it's fans,

Not any Christian stuff

"OMG THIS GAME HAS CHRISTIAN REFERENCES SO IT MUST BE WIN"... Ya no.
You'd be surprised by how many references there actually are. There are actually quite a number of references to a couple of other things, like Hinduism, Japanese culture, Star Wars, allied Naval history just to name a scant few.

These suttle references actuallly make the game better then you would think. If you aren't living under a box, then you would know that "this" is a reference to "that", and you would be like "cool!".

I for one like the references, without actually some of the referenes, and similarities, Halo wouldn't have the same story line, I imagine it would be much different and bland.

Edit: I for one think that it (The Shield and Sword) should be implemented, if only as a custom option, like the Radar jammer. :P
