Agreed
Also the MJOLNIR Energy sheilding was based on the elite energy sheilding, not jackal..
from halopedia, on the energy shields :
Humans started using energy shields with the production of the MJOLNIR Mark V powered assault armor and later the Mark VI. It uses a reverse engineered Jackal Personal Arm Shield that has been modified into a full body shield, much like a Covenant Elite's.
The books never stated if the tech was reverse engineered from jackal or elite sheilds.. but it hinted to both..
Halo wiki are succeptable to false or misconcepted information, as all other wikis are, and i think this was probably an assumption made my whoever wrote/edited the article..
I have a hard time understanding how could human reverse a technology they never encountered before.
since you stick to the book, in TFoR, they explain the spartans what they know about the covenant. they explicitely say they have NOT made any contact with the superior leaders that they like to call "elites", in fact, the very very first time a spartan meets an elite is when MC gets into the space station to destroy the ship that did not execute the Cole Protocole.
therefore, how could the ONI study and adapt a technology they could not even know it existed?
however, MC had conveniently stolen a jackal arm shield a bit before (I don't remember dates, but it certainly was a few days ago) and it WAS studied by scientists.
it doesn't hint at both, it hints at only one solution.
regarding the bubble shield, it's extremely weird how no marines or even odst seem capable of using it. besides, it weights 20 kilograms, which is extremely heavy for an equipment and inconvenient for a normal human being to use.
not even mentionning it doesn't seem to be a human tech at all.
True, MC apparently did not come onto contact with Elites until Reach, which is strange, as they are pretty much the back-bone of the infantry in the games, but other spartans and UNSCDF forces did..
notable examples would be in Halo wars, the very first battle on the first prolouge chapter of Ghosts of Onyx, Cole Protocol, the episode "Baby-sitter" from halo legends.. ETC
