The problem with being given a shield is that it's very difficult to provide a good set of controls that allows you to move the shield while moving and fighting. Halo is always flowing and the game does what it can to never force you to slow down more than you will. Simple controls are a necessity, and Jackal Shields just don't fit easily into the "simple controls and worthwhile benefits" balancing act.
The simplest way to make it effective would be that it's a dual-wield "weapon," and that arm automatically reaches to block incoming fire as fast as it can while you're holding the right trigger. Problem is that it's not particularly useful, since you can't angle it. The shields aren't even big enough for full body coverage in a standing position.
It's a nice thought and a cool idea, as it always has been, but it has yet to given life.
they could make it so it pulls out to 3rd person like when you use a turret.... and then just have it be in front of you and it takes a certain amount of damage... just an idea
Good idea. But it's still too small.
