My friend and i got into a huge debate, and I was curious as to the public opinion. While we both were looking forward to new weapons, we were looking in different places. I was looking toward the future, he wanted things he was unable to use in halo and halo 2. I wanted completely new guns that had never been created. However he wanted the Jackel Shield, and the fuel rod cannon. He said the fuel rod cannon would have been cool because it couldn't lock on but had five shots in a clip and was weaker (would only take your shield out w/ one shot). The fuel rod cannon wasn't too bad but I felt it would need some tweaking before it was used in mp, possibly a smaller clip or longer reloading. However the Jackel shield I thought was a noob's wet dream. Not only would it completely change mp, by changing the tactics but it would also create the ultimate "noob combo" of all time. First off he wanted the shield to be duel wield, no way that would make it way too unfair. But even if it is single wield, you carrie the sword in one slot the shield in the other?? You can walk straight at a guy with out being hurt and then own him, completely retarted, the jackel shield is one thing im sure bungie will not include in the halo three mp, and i just wanted to now if public opinion was on my side.

Jackal shield would be excellent. They could really play havoc with the game. A guy runs into the enemy base with a smg and a jackal shield taking the brunt of the defense whilst his teammates run up behind him.

Sounds awesome to me.

It would definitely be a huge advantage for the person with the shield, since only plasma weapons can get through it. But yeah, as long as someone has a plasma weapong, they can disable the shield, plus, when you're running with the shield I would expect it to be carried off to the side, and only at a standstill or crouchwalk would it be in front. So yeah, I say put it in.

I believe it should have a battery count, like any other plasma weapon besides the sword (which I personally believe should have a battery count like in campaign) ...this would mean that after a significant amount of damage it is permanently un-usable. I would say it should with stand a slight bit more than a regular persons shield, but not as much as overshield gives you...this should be dual-wielded. I am not a noob...and even though it is hardly noobs that use noob combo, I don't do that either. I am a hardcore Halo fan...BR55 is my weapon of choice in 80% of maps. I would still say its a good idea to have the jackal shield, they use it in the books!

no we are talkin about JACKEL SHIELDS

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

I see no point for being able to use the Jackel Shield. Master Chief/the Arbiter already have energy shields. The only way it would be decent is if they put some form of a blade on the front of it so you could shield bash someone, like a melee of some sort. Other than that, it is pointless.

no it isnt its an everlasting weaker overshield but it will switch off if too much damage is taken but it comes back on after 5sec and you cant use any heavy weapons just duel wieldable waepons thats its weakness

Death is not the end!

Multi player Gladiator game type only Jackel sheilds and Swords only. 1 sword lunge protection and a time variable recharge. It would be Crazy awesome!!
