Halo 4, Handheld Shield?

> lol is this guy serious?

I am. Problem?

> Master Chief and other Spartans have used the Jackal’s personal shield in the novels before.

As far as I remember, only with the Mark IV, before they get their personal shield system with the Mark V.

I wouldn’t think a riot sheild would be anything worthy of halo while halo has already had something so much more powerfull. Bubble sheilds, and deployable cover equipments.

School’s out for Xmas… If you want a riot shield go to sleep on Xmas eve and see if Santa left MW3 in your stocking.

Maybe we will get to use the jackal shield!

There are two flaws with your statement:

  1. I already have MW3
  2. I didn’t make this topic because I like the riot shield in MW3, I simply used it for comparison. Actually read through the thread next time.

Gonna have to disagree. You’re wearing an armor that provides a shield for you. In which this technology derives from the Jackal’s Energy Shields, but improved.
I just don’t see the use of it. IMO, it kinda strays from the core gameplay of Halo.
I also think it could also bring the same problem some players are experiencing with Reach, but worse. Which is the sprint double-pummel.
I’m not sure if sprint would make a return on Halo 4, but if it were to return and the Riot Shield were to come for Halo 4, we would be seeing threads for the removal of it.

I appreciate that you actually provided valid reasoning instead of saying “go get MW3”. :slight_smile:

But I’m saying we should atleast get it for forging, as it would have great potential for custom games without energy shields and for machinimas as well.

I’d like to see a usable jackal shield in Halo 4. Spartans have used jackal shields in the books so no one can complain about it “not being canon.”

Just don’t call it a riot shield. Dangit.

I would be fine with a shield, any shield. Not needed, but could be fun.

I don’t know about anyone else, but i would give anything to do this to a running or sprinting enemy.Sparta
Epic Shield Win!

I’ve always wanted, and I’m sure many of you agree, to use the Jackel shield. Maybe they can give us something like that? And if Jackels don’t appear in Halo 4 they can make some type of Forerunner shield.

Also, enough with the “CoD” crap. These two games are nothing alike.

When will you people finally learn to read through the thread: I only used the term riot shield so I could compare it to what I want to see in Halo 4…

Jackal shield people!

How abbout ethier a jackles shield or a hunters shield.

How is this CoD related?..

Jackal Shields have been present ever since the beginning. I think it would be awesome to be able to wield energy shields at last.

Yes, it’d be excellent for machinimas and invasion as well. :slight_smile:

I think there should be different types of shields, like the elites energy shields for Halo CE’s E3 trailer.

A Jackal shield would be really cool.

i wanna use the jackle shield
