I think it would add a interesting element to dual weilding

It would be interesting, but I don't think it would be balanced in multiplayer.

In single player, though, it would be pretty cool.

I dont see its useful-ness. I mean they get destroyed real easy, are too small to be effective for the Chief and they lessen your offensive ability. I mean you cant throw grenades or melee when dual wielding, it takes longer to reload and it takes away a second weapon. I'd much rather have an SMG and a Plasma Rifle than a SMG and a Jackal shield!

Well if you rush out in front of a squad of grunts on legendary that few extra seconds prove useful

I dont mean to sound cocky, but I can take a squad of Grunts on Legendary. And like I said if I have an offensive dual wielding combination I could probably take them out in double quick time! Hence my preference for dual wielding two weapons instead of a defensive option which IMO effectively neuters me in combat!

Are you kidding? Jackal Sheild would BLOW during single player. The only thing that damages the shield is plasma (except for a well placed grenade.). So i vote no

Actually I think that the shields might be damaged by human weapons too, if you watch the E3 2003 demo it looks like the Shields are being destroyed by the battle rifle and the gun turret the Chief uses!

*EDIT* In response to the post above this; I know what you are trying to do, I just disagree with this idea! Call it Tactical differences =P

It would be ok, but I'd much rather have another weapon.

In one of the books, he used one once.

Yeah, didn't he strap it to his arm?

It would be kind of neat to carry the sheild, and then have the plasma sword too....nevermind.
