I've been playing with this idea for a defensive weapon for Halo 3. Alot of people have mentioned the idea of a using the jackel shield or even having a human version of the shield....

well I'm going to take it one step further.

I think Halo 3 should introduce a hand-held shield generator. What on earth is that?

Well, if you've ever played the game RED DOG for Dreamcast, you'll know, but for those of you who don't, its literally a shield generator. It creates a solid wall of energy shielding you from attack.

For Halo 3, I think this weapon should be single-wielded with a limited energy core (like Cov weapons). It would generate a 5 X 5 ft shield infront of you for 5-10 seconds before needing to recharge and it could do 3-6 times).

The shield could with stand all forms of attack, including rockets, but the really sweet deal is that you can aim the shield to reflect shoots. Rockets will instanly drain the shield, but smaller weapons fire, such as the PR, BR, carbine, pistol, etc... wiill be reflected back at the shooter if you aim the shield right. Red Dog has this same system and it worked quite well once you got used to it and I'm sure it could be made to work in Halo 3

Well, just another idea to go along with the 1000 of others out there

MC already has a shield......ITS ALL AROUND HIM. If you didnt already know, the got the shield technology from the jackel shields. BUT MC IS PRACTICALLY A HUMAN SHIELD. why would you want another one. plus a knife would be a cooler and better defencive weapon. Not flaming you, just pointing some things out.

You have the MC's and Arbiter's shield. You don't need another.

He's right. The MJOLNIR shield technology is derived from the Jackal's shield generator. If he needed one bad enough, he could just take one from one of them. Also I don't think the knife would be a good idea either. How would a stainless steel knife cut through an enemy's shield/armor? Just use a frickin' energy sword.

Jackal shield wielding is good enough, if they include something new it will be that.

And anyway that already exists.. not only does he have a shield generator on his armor but you can also pick up an overshield!!! omg so crazeh!!!! who knew?
