It would supplement your existing shields, not replace them.
And from what I understand MK IV didn't have shields. It wasn't until the MK V was introduced that we saw Spartans with their own shields.
On Reach spartans had the same armor as chief. So they do have shields.
It could replace overshields.
ya I know, but we don't know exactly in what time frame the plot for this game will be set. They all ended up with MK V, but it wasn't until near the end sometime before the major "short" battle took place. The actual fall of reach was very short compared to the rest of the story. There is a lot to tell, and we can't assume that it will follow the book page by page. That would be stupid. Using the book strictly, there simply isn't enough in that short little while during the battle to be made into an entire game. If we play any before it fell, they could very well have MK IV, therefore no shields. And looking at the banner, that armor doesn't look like MK V to me. Does it to you?
No, but we could also play part of the First Strike book?
