In the books, Master Chief and other spartans picked up the Jackals shield and used it! Do you think that they may incorporate this into Halo 2? It sure would bring in a new strategy!

If you think about it, we have and can use just about everything the Covenant have! So could this be something that they are keeping Hush Hush about?

Yeah, it would be hard as hell to kill a person who is good with head shots! And if you could use a sniper rifle at the same time! Then that would be killer annoying

I think that if they have the shield that it should force you into a defensive stance like the jackels, only on handed weapons,,,fear the needler..

Just a thought, if the shield was dual-wielded, then it could be carried at the side until the left trigger is pressed. Then you duck into a jackal-like defensive posture and can fire normally with the right trigger. Of course you movement speed would be very limited, if you could move at all, and you'd be easy pickin's for grenades. It could work.

As for the annoying inability to hit someone if they were using the sheild... using the sheild would inhibit their ability to weild anything that could reach a sniper or long range enemy... so it would be pretty much even. It would be a great addition to the single player missions, and it would add more strategy to multi... seeing as if you had one you would stick out like a sore thumb... but be able to defend your glowing self.

you could get on atvs with the shield plus a plasma sword and joust.

how bout the Hunter sheilds and armor plating....i bet the game wouldnt let you put that on right? jackal sheilds are really usefulbecause bullets reflect of it, but that would make you more or less invulnerable correct?

if they did introduce the shield it would be likes counter strikes shield you have gun with and you cant change that if you do you lose the shied
it just evens things out.....thats what i think

If you did have a jackels shield it would be better than having a hunters one because if you did have the hunters shield thingy i'm sure they would design it so that you would become very slow, whereas having the jackels shield would mean that you could have the freedom of mobility and added defense!

It seems to me that there is some legitimate potential behind the idea of a shield, and would certainly add several tactics - but as usual, I worry that too many features will be added, bogging down the game and the experience - While I am not quick to dismiss the idea (as it obviously has some merit) I, again, am worried that the astounding balance and gameplay of Halo will be tarnished by too many new features.
