Stop being such a Jim.

Why don't you shut up?

You think we should be able to pick em up? Because we dont have shields of our own, we could jack one off a dead jackal or something, temporary cover until they burn out of lose their charge.

Nah. We are too manly.

That's a good idea.

  • 07.29.2009 6:16 PM PDT

I really like this idea and wish we could do it

It's retractable. And if a scrawny ass jackal can hold it, a big manly ODST sure as hell be able to

i say that you might be able to hopefully i still say think of a gravity hammer and a jackal sheld you would be just taking the fun out of defeating kills still thats still cool if u could

  • 07.29.2009 6:22 PM PDT

that's.... a good idea...

the slowly running out of charge idea would also be balanced for gameplay

unfortunately i think it's to late for this game

why not post this in the reach forum?

You can't pick up a Gravity Hammer in ODST. The Jackal shield idea is definitely plausible as it was done by the marines in the Halo books but i'm sure it isnt incorporated into Halo 3.

i have used a jackle sheild and once they break the are usless and they always break after the jackle dies it is a good idea. and also i have seen a marine with a hammer i am sure bungie will let you use a hammer

yes you can

  • 07.29.2009 6:39 PM PDT

use it like a sword, but u can also pick up a duel-weild weapon with it

  • 07.29.2009 6:46 PM PDT

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

That would kind of go against the whole no shields thing that makes ODST more difficult than previous Halo games.

If they did do this it would mean the shields would have to be extremely rare to keep with the feel of ODST.

You can pick up the Gravity Hammer in Firefight, though I have yet to see it be used in the Campaign or seen any confirmation that you can.

I like it but it probably wouldn't be a good idea because your not a super soilder you can't hold the smg in one hand and still have good accurace.

you know if u think about it theres a strong pausibility that want be there since u cant dual weild and it would be a problem if u did it just be to easy to defend your self if you were in firefight u could have a lot of shelds its gonna be a no go

I think it would be a good idea, you should make a new thread about this in the Reach forum. In a first person perspective however I dont know how it would work.

Yes but jackals can hold them and shoot and they're weak as -blam!-. Also that would be cool because in the books the Master Chief does pick up a jackal shield. I think it's a great idea personally.
