Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

If the Covenant have better tech in every way, how are MJOLNIR Shields superior to Covenant shielding?

Did Humans get shielding from the Covenant, or is it there own design?

Who said Mjolnir armor has better shields than Covie equivalents?

Dr. Halsey and her team reverse-engineered Mjolnir shields from a Jackal personal defense gauntlet captured by the Spartan IIs late in the war.

Really? So, the MJOLNIR Shielding is based off a Jackal Defense Gauntlet? Those not even the good ones! Sangheili shielding would be better.

Dr Halsey does say though, that the shields have been improved upon (TFOR) so perhaps the shields have been reverse engineered but reviewed and improved?

It was commented on by Covenant characters in one of the books, though I'm not sure which one or where. They say something along the lines of, 'these demons use shield technology that might even surpass our own.' Not a direct or accurate quote, mind you, but the idea is there.

A sentence from Lieutenant Haverson after he'd killed the Engineer who repared the John's shield generator (Halo First Strike) let suppose that the Energy Shields of MJOLNIR Mark V are better than the Elite's shields. I think that the MJOLNIR's shields have more performance than the Covenant's because they copying Forerunner's technology instead innovating it.

It was in The Flood, during the first meeting between Zuka Zamamee, the Minor Prophet and a Sangheili councillor (Soha Rolamee I think) on board the Truth and Reconciliation.

actually because of it's linear design and flat surface it's one of the best shields
