Ya They Should Let You Use The Jackel's Shield That Would Be Totally Sweet, Imagine That With The Plasma Sword Mmm... A Great Combo.

People might say its not possible because u can't combo with weapons with an energy sword and thats true that u can't have a weapon and an energy sword because it would be hard to fire a weapon at the same time attack with the sword, it will be very ackward. But for a jackal shield anda sword combo is possible because the shield is passsive item and does not attack. I think u use the left trigger to block attacks since the enrgy sword is usually on the right side. but of course it may still be unfair since now u have an extra shield with u but we'll see what happens when Halo 2 comes out. hehehe whut happens when u have overshield has well HAHAHA!!

it takes two
you need two hands for the sword (one for balance) it would just not work (even though it would be cool it just wouldnt balance right I think)

Jackel shields would make good anti-sniper rifle devices...

What u talking about?? Didn't u see the E3 2K4 multiplayer demo, the Elite was holding the sword one hand and attacking with one hand. Plus its not very easy to hold the sword with two hands since its one handle too.

Also it should be balance to make the shield work. Its energy supply is limited like it takes several hit before the shield becomes useless like when plasma rifle running out of energy. And i think the instant kill lunge attack should completely drain the shield and makes u go back several feet but doesn't kill u.
