Subject: Using Jackal shields in Halo: REACH?

Im just wondering if it would be logical to be able to use jackal shields as a defense weapon in multiplayer. Also I want your ideas for the next best thing that you want in Halo: REACH?

M Man

Thats a pretty good idea. Ive played Halo 1 mods with Jackal shields and there awsome. What I want are elites in Reach because it takes before Halo 1 so it should have elites.

No, it's been requested since before Halo 2, and it's not going to happen.


Right. Because you're the go-to source for everything Halo. Hell, you even know about the games before Bungie does. -_- Bungie has the final word on what is in the game and what isn't.

Jackal shields would make sense, that is if you read the halo books. In them the spartans looted jackal shields to use and i remember the spartans looting them on reach. If i'm mistaken and it wasn't on reach it was some where in the boosk they did, it's been a couple years i dont remember the book in detail, but i know for a fact jackal shields were used.

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

This idea is really old. The first day there was a thread just like this one with its "Cool new idea: Jackal shields!" title. The truth is, it's a really old idea.

who cares if it's and old idea, its a good one plus, idea are alawys thought up, dropped and then brought back up again and finally it actually happens

  • 08.25.2009 9:17 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

Yes. Very yes.

Only make it dual-wieldable though. Plasma rifle, SMG, nothing like a BR or AR with it.

ideas*

  • 08.25.2009 9:17 PM PDT

Yes...it should be a Melee Weapon like an Energy sword..Dual Weildable but you can only carry one and above all you can throw it..more like MC does in "Haloid"

It would be nice to use jackals's shield while your main shields recharge :p

and i want to know do u think, it should B recharge able, or once it taken enough beatings, u cant use it again

  • 08.25.2009 10:38 PM PDT

...

I like the idea of sheilds. But then i want human UNSC shields, not Covenant shields.

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.”

Hell, make it a dual wieldable weapon with a battery that absorbs damage until it runs out.

Sustained damage will make the unit overheat and the shield will be disabled for about 1.5 seconds, and more battery will be drained.

Hi. I'm AlbinoKola1. Currently I am not into Halo. I love to post on the forums though and I will always try to give my best opinion. My goal is to rise in the forum ranks and to have my space cowboy become a familiar symbol. I have one quote that shishka will use. If you send me a message, I'm sorry if I don't respond.

I would like that idea. The sheild doesn't recharge and only select weapons can be used with it. I would also like to use a meat sheild, even though that is ripping off of Gears.

  • 08.25.2009 11:12 PM PDT

Well, the spartans already have shields so I do not see the point. It's kinda just like an overshield except in a tiny spot. If the game has Mark IV armor, those do not have shields. But the shield wouldn't cover much.

why was it used in the book then, the spartans must have used it for some reason. mabye shields could only be used when crouching?, for it to cover more of ur body?, like when the hunters is their shields conected to them, they crouch behind it






  • 08.26.2009 7:33 PM PDT

why are you looking at this?

yeah but it should be a weapon (it is used by dual wielding) and each time it gets hit it loses energy (which is kept track of like a plasma weapon) and can only be used with dual wieldable weapons. it also doesn't provide full protection unless you crouch.
