I was just thinking that it would be neat if they added a handheld shield like jackals use as an equipment item in Infinite. I was thinking it would be big enough to cover the head and chest but leaving the legs exposed unless you’re crouching. Maybe the user could use the pistol or other small weapons while using it and give the user reduced visibility and accuracy. It could be taken down by shooting it a few times. It’s just an idea that I think could be fun and create interesting encounters.
If the Pistol is like the classic one or Halo 5’s - forget it

I was thinking they could remove the zoom function and make the reticle bigger when using the shield so that shooting is less accurate and more of a suppressing fire situation but I think there are other ways that it could be balanced.
I remember using something like this in halo 4’s Spartan ops. It was a blue shield that chief would hold up. I would like to see it return, and love the idea of shooting with a small gun (aka pistol) while holding the shield.

If its not taken down, then maybe a time duration. It would be great for acting like a jackal lol
Wouldn’t make sense unless dual wielding was brought back across the board.
I like the idea of using the Jackal Shield as an equipment pickup. Would you lose access to your left arm and therefore your grenades? Or would tossing grenades/reloading move or drop your shield?
Alternatively, I think the UNSC could have reverse-engineered Watcher tech. I’d like an equipment pickup that give your a miniature Watcher that follows you. One your shields drop, it brings up a hardlight shield in whichever direction the final bullet/damage came from. Don’t give it the catch-a-grenade ability, but just the shield. Essentially a back-up shield that can take a few rounds, but not a grenade or explosive with splash damage. But if someone shoots down your watcher, that’d cause the pickup to fall off you and others could grab it.

You’re right, there was a blue shield in Halo 4, you could only walk and your corporal shield didn’t recharge
Jackal shield could be cool, with a human or covenant gun, but I would love a forerunner Shield.
