Got the idea when re-reading The Fall of Reach. I know its kind of redundant now since the MJOLNIR suit now has shields…
But could be cool? What do you think?
no
I think it would have fit in better in Reach, I remember in the prologue of Ghosts of Onyx a Spartan3 named Tom used a jackal shield but he was wearing SPI so…
Halo doesnt need riot shields, be it campaign or multiplayer.

Wouldn’t necessarily be a riot shield as they’d deplete and break. You could quickly activate one to shield from an incoming charged plasma shot, and then throw it to the ground…
But yeah, its not gunna happen anyways!
That’s a really cool idea. It shouldn’t cover the whole body of a spartan (not even while crouched) and you shouldn’t be able to wield anything other than one-handed weapons.

Yeah, it shouldn’t cover the whole body and it should have limited energy to it so it depletes after taking however much damage. One-H guns is a good shout too!
The Spartan Shield is a holdable energy barrier that will block incoming projectiles. The Spartan Shield requires two hands to hold so no weapons or grenades can be used when deployed. The user has reduced movement and turn speed when the Spartan Shield is deployed. Meleeing with the Spartan Shield will knock the target back a short distance but cause no damage. The Spartan Shield has a moderate duration with moderate health. Crouching with the Spartan Shield will completely shield you from the front but then you cannot move, only turn 90 degrees left, right or up.

Not only does MJOLNIR already have shields, but it’s an upgraded advancement OF the Jackal Shield. This would’ve been somewhat more prevalent on Halo: Reach as it would be taking a huge technological step back for Spartans. Would just be another Equipment or Armor Ability argument from the fanbase anyway.
/Nope

It wouldn’t work since there’s no dual wielding, otherwise it would have been awesome and the community have asked for it for a long time.
It should only be used as a killer Frisbee.

I like your propositions hehe. It could be fun to use in-game.
To those who are saying why bother when Spartan shielding is already superior to the Jackal shield, Spartan shields aren’t invulnerable. Extra shielding would always be welcome on the battlefield.
Daddy like…
An SIII does it in Ghosts of Onyx. Lucy is the shortest spartan standing at I think 5,2 feet in armour, she was small enough to fit behind the shield perfectly. Big spartans should still be able to hold it though, just in campaign at least. Just another way to make the game more fun and more realistic.
Neat idea, if it were to happen I would like to see what creative gametypes someone could come up with in customs
I think this would be cool if there was dual-wielding, but not with single-wielding, which Halo 4 will be.
Neat idea though. Never thought about it.

pointless post is pointless
Weak shields with one handed weapons.

Where did you hear this?

In halo, you are the riot shield.
