We saw the jackal using the energy shield in halo. but who's to say that they are the only ones limited to using this technology? imagine the skill required to take out a Spec. ops elite carrying an energy shield and an energy sword. only explosives would be able to do the job. the only thing that made jackals significantly tougher to beat then grunts was that energy shield. what if grunts eventually had the ability to hold them. or perhaps we could even see marines stealing the energy shield. I'm expecting to hear some people tell me this is a dumb idea, but i mean it is possible.

It's an idea but not the greatest of ideas, but still not dumb.

I don't think it would make much sense to let the Master Chief, Elites or Marines use energy shields since the energy shield is too small compared to their larger bodieds. So it would be useless to carry since it wouldn't cover their entire body like the Jackals does.

there could be modified shields. as if they can only make them in one size lol. how dumb would that be? we can make armor that can blocks bullets and plasma shots, but im sorry sir our scientist still havent figured out how to make energy shields larger then 3 feet tall lol.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

In an old Halo trailer, the one where the 6 marines take a buliding, and Elite had a sword and a shield, but that was cut from Halo. Perhaps it would come back. The real sweet thing tho would be using them ourselves. Could be one handed, lean around it, like a shield and when it goes down it collapses and recharges using 20 battery! trouble tho it'd become too gd in MP.
