I can see it working, and being fun. But it sounds hard to implement.

Even if its only for single player, This is the last halo. YOU GOT TO TELL THE LEGAND.

It would make for intresting online co-op on legandary difficulty.

I dont see why it couldn't be in custom games it could make a cool gladiator gametype swords and shields even cortana says "I'am you shield I'am your sword" that could be awsome one or two slices of the sword take out the shield and then your shields get taken off in anouther hit and then you die with the fourth of fith hit.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That really wouldnt be fun. First, its HALO, not Counter Strike. Second, You already have a shield. And if you, for some n00bish reason, need a shield update, you can always pick up an overahield.

If you didn't like it you wouldn't have to put them on they would only be put in custom games not match made games so stop your whineing.

Would you still have a suit shield?

It would be great for a gladiator like battle in multiplayer.

1.Perfect Dark Zero is a crappy game.

2. Halo isn't perfect dark.

3. Shields are dumb when you already have them built into your armor.


This guy has a brain. Just like the fourteen other people who voted 'no'.

So then I said, "Wait a minute! That is my sister!"

It would be a god save for newb combos the medium sheild could take all the heat for ya so you could maybe get close enough to lunge with the sword or fire an smg.....

That could work the shiel could be used as a new power weapon.

I'm not even going to bother arguing with the people saying "OmG! We can't have new things!!1 Dis isn't Counter Strke!!11" So, yeah, here's my 2 cents: You just see the weapon, well shield, propped up against the wall, and you can only have it with a weapon that you can dual wield (Like an SMG). Although if you had a battle rifle, you would not be able to pick it up. Okay, so you have an SMG, and you hit 'Y' to dual wield it, the shield is in your right hand, and you SMG is stickinh through the crevice on the right. Left Trigger kind of bunts the shield, and the Right Trigger shoots your gun. It would last only as long as the overshield did, so it would be just as balanced as the Overshield, which nobody is complaining about. When getting hit by bullets, it would take damage, like as if it had's it's own health, and once it was depleated, you would drop it, and go back to your normal dual wieldable gun, and if you switched weapons to say, a Battle Rifle, you'd drop the shield. Iy would be perefectly balanced, and fun to have. Also, if you had a couple guys with it, you could defend the comb carrier or whatever, oh and it obviously would be usuless against rockets.

First it would most likely only be added to custom games and not match makeing and second if you dont like it don't set it on the map or don't use it , its as simple as that.

Yes we already have rechageing shields but that didn't stop any one from adding the over shield but the did just think of this as a type of power up/weapon thing it would make some interesting custom games exspecialy in that survival game.

  • 07.23.2006 12:42 PM PDT

Try thinking about it for once... most of you just go "0mg teh che1f need n0 sh31ld h3 teh 1337!!! "
It would be fun. and very helpful.
Say the Jackal Sheild is in your Left hand. while you have an SMG in the right hand. Hold down the 'L trigger' To pop up the sheild. whilst the Sheild is up Your Right hand weapon is then lowered so you cant shoot. And once you let go off the L trigger the sheild turns off and your weapon is returned and your able to shoot again.

If they could put something like that in the game. then i think it would be very good and fun to use.

i think they should take out the oversheild and replace it with the jackel shield it would make a lot more sense than picking up a cube and boom im invincible. it would be twice as useful take more skill and make sense.

You have a shield, use it. Although, I admit that meleeing someone with the shield would be something I'd like to see and do. But no, it's unnecessary.

The Chief doesn't need jackal shields. His are strong enough. And dual wielding those shields? What are you going to do run through the whole game without firing a single shot? Besides, having a shield like that would take away the element of having to find cover in the middle of a battle. It would take away that sense of danger that gets you saying "ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap!" While you run away from the elites with the swords and the flood with the shotguns.
