Would you like to be able to pick up the jackal shields and use them in halo 3, like some of the spartans did in the halo books

Ex. kill a jackal and take his shield that he had and use it for later when u will need it

Or use it as a weapon. Equip it as a weapon and hit people with it, or use it to defend yourself until it runs out (Like a damage meter or something?). That would be sweet.

what is the point in the MC using a jackale shield? do you play halo? the jackal shield protects the jakals WHOLE body but with the MC most of his body is visible for attack.

Use it like the combat shield in PDZ. You could hold it with a one handed weapon.
Basic controls:
LT: raise shield to head level
Hold LT + B: melee with shield

and it would also protect you agianst snipers. this one guy made a modded map that lets you have a jackal shield. it was wierd.

i would like to add a bit of my own detail if ya dont mind... what about it is part of a dual wielding and it takes up one spot so u can only use a pistol or smg with it and if u hold example:left trigger it hold up the sheild makin you unable to fire ur wepon and the sheild does not last forever it has a energy meter like a plasma sword on campagne. now that would make it balanced and not be too cheap

Like you pick it up and use it like your other weapon, you pick it up and push the left trigger it deffends you, but if you shoot with the right trigger hand it still covers you but not as well. Once it runs out after like a couple shots its gone, that would be sweet !

Neem deel aan de NL Group, om het spel beter te begrijpen en makkelijker met/tegen vele andere Nederlanders te spelen.

It would be a good defensive weapon, and could be used very well if you're defending a flag carrier

It doesn't explode. The energy just runs out and it has to recharge, I've seen jackal shields recharge in campaign before.

And I think it would be a decent idea if you want to protect a certain part of your body (preferrebly head from snipers), Or absorb some kind of big attack like a hunter shot or something, and of course you wouldn't be able to completely diflect it but you would be able to spare yourself some damage.

that would be cool. Would could like dual-wheld it with an SMG(or anything else that can go in one hand) and also be able to use it as a melee attack. or just hold it in the secondary and when ur shields are down and u really need it just push "y"

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

i like it, use it like a duel weild weapon. only it can be used with sword.

I have an AR save where I can use the jackal shield. It's alright, but not that useful. Of course, this was made by some modder, so...........

the jackal is pretty small compared to a spartan....a shield would probably only cover the chief's torso...


go play some cs if you want a pistol/shield

iDon't need an app to make fart noises. There's an ass for that.

Have you ever read the books. Obviously not. How do you think the armor got the shields, they used a jackal shield and changed it into the shild on the armor
