Well seing as Bungie are planning to include the Jakal shield anyway, I say it should do three things:
1-Counter plasmas, hold down left trigger (cannot use grenades with shield) for a hold foreward block, making those always sticking grenades bounce away.
2-Duel weild with sword (just for fun)
3-Counter swords (but deplete energy in attempt) again using the left trigger.
Whilst in block mode you move slower and whilst running all hits to your left side are deflected. I noticed that people prefer the human sniper to beam rifle (which holds no real advantage over it's 24 magazine cousin) I think that the beam rifle should be able to penetrate the shield whilst the human rifle cannot.
Solution to problems with snipers, plasma grenades, swords and general blocking = Jakal shield.
