I read a book, in Fall of Reach, I think, anyway in oringal spartan, which have no armor, no shield. They went to thier first mission to capture the Leader of Rebillion. After that mission they facing with Covenant, they found the Jackal's shield. They used them very well agaisnt to Covenant, so they escaped. So my question, why don't we equip with Jackal's shield in mutliplayer? Is that good idea to add for next Halo game?

The sufferance is the shield would eventually go out from being fired at and you also have a view degrees that you can shoot into.

Not to mention you can clearly tell who has it if you are attentive enough and look at their arms or have light in your eye.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yes! This has been wanted for so long!

I have an innate feeling that 343 will listen/do better than bungie simply because they really do love halo.

In a sense 343 is what people claim bungie to be.

It would have to be weaker, or just in campaign. The shield is WAY overpowered when you shoot a non plasma weapon

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Campaign only. Equipment has no place in Multiplayer.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.

I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

It'd be interesting. Would be a fun add on to a campaign mission, I think.
It would probably have to skew part of your view, and you would be much more noticeable considering that you're holding a big glowy thing. Kind of like an energy sword.

It would be balanced if dual wielding returned....

Also there would have to be limits as to the usable weapons while useing it, imagine that and a fuel rod camping in the corner...

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

Imagine the battles with energy swords and shields!

I'd imagine it would be similar to that of a Riot shield of COD in game mechanics. It would be a bit overpowered if you could use a rifle such as a BR so it should stick with a small arm such as a Plasma Pistol or M6. It should also have 2 studs, just like the other Halo's and overall a little smaller similar to that of Halo: CE.

It would be perfect if that were the case. =]

  • 05.17.2011 10:38 PM PDT

Nope.

Spartan shields are already upgraded versions of Jackal Shields. Besides: imagine how well a 1 meter tall shield would protect a 2-2.20 meter tall Spartan....

If the next game is about real S3's in real SPI armor: yes, I can imagine them making use of Jackal Shields.

But for a S2: no point at all other than it looking "cool". It would also slow down a Spartan as he has to crouch down behind the shield, and Spartans are about fast paced action.

For campaign purposes only.

I guess it would be like dual wield in H2 and 3. Except with another button it can be used to shield yourself.

Plus they would have to be damn weak when you use them, otherwise it would be too easy.

(I don't think we are fighting covenant anyway, actually i don't know what we are fighting!)

EDIT: Possibly the new over-shield for multiplayer? I think that i would be OP anyway.

A better idea would be to remove equipment altogether.

Pick it up as a weapon and let it function as a shield. Can't wait to ram a Hunter with it.

Because it makes you a damage sponge. Kill times are already slow enough, and people complained about riot shield in MW2.
Even if the shield dissipates, you definately can't use a gun while holding it. But it would still give you too much cover on a retreat. It's doesn't work in MM.

  • 05.18.2011 4:55 AM PDT

sup if you don't like what I post you can go suck one this is the internet not Grammer class so GTFO Grammer N@ZI's

dual wield reach plasma pistol thats all.

  • 05.18.2011 7:34 AM PDT

sounds too much loke a riot shield.
That thing sucked in MW2.
Noob central.
EDIT*

But then again, If they made it like the jakal shields were in 1,2, and 3, you would be able to shoot their feet and hands instead if being fully protected.

Plus the fact that plasma weapons would destroy it.

And it would only make sense if you could only use a one handed weapon like Plasma rifle, needler, pistol, etc.

So long as you have NO shields (or at least, very weak ones) while wielding one and are limited to single handed weapons.

I can see how it would be balanced if limited by this.

Use yer brain, man.

Spartan sheilds alone can only take so much, adding an extra layer of defence could greatly enhance your chances of survival. Also, a jackal sheild can deflect a plasma granade. Bullet based weapons wont even work on the jackal sheild

A spartans height is actually a good thing for gameplay, as you will be required to aim the sheild at specific spots to deflect fire (Unlike COD's riot sheild where you just need to point in the general direction)

SERIOUSLY? MW2?

Halo fans have been crying out to use a jackal sheid since CE.

Mabye it's not only for campaign, but it may also it for FireFight. Look at the weapon named (I think) AirSriker which it is only for campaign or FF.
