It's cool, but it might make the game too easy.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Yea I would like it! Perhaps the shield can have a battery, like plasma weapons do, to make it less effective (doesn't last forever).

Yes, because you think it'd sorta be cool, Bungie will personally halt production of ODST for 3 months in order to program it in for you.

You're so special, after all.

Gears of war 3 looks amazing i can't wait for halo 4 master chief is a pretty cool guy he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything

i mean would be great but bungie wouldn't allow it cause it makes it alot easy to kill loads on the firefight

That would be awesome. Like the Spartans do in the books. It would add more tactics to the game, and wouldn't make the game "too easy" as Covenant plasma-based weaponry has a greater impact on Jackal shields than Human ballistics i.e. If you were using a Jackal shield against loads of Grunts, a Brute plasma rifle of overcharged Jackal plasma pistols, or even a Wraith or Chieftain plasma turret, it would quickly be depleted.

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

Probably wont be an option in ODST but it would be a cool if they could implement this feature in Reach.

Add my initial argument. It is not hard to acquire, but does not make the game a whole lot easier.

  • 08.21.2009 11:50 AM PDT

maybe to make it a little harder, you could limit the player using it to only the pistol.

i personally believe that your argument is helping my argument its a arder item to awuire but doesnt offer emence amounts of help but enought to get you around the corner

Doesn't the shield drain out once you kill a jackal?

So they should have an option to rip it off the jackal before the failsafe is activated... like a button you press when you get in close.

i think it shuts off like the energysword did in halo 1

obviously you could only shoot one handed weapons through the notch, yes. Or if you're using a dual handed weapon like the SMG or AR, you would have to expose yourself so you could shoot.
