E3 Hands-On Impressions of Halo 2: Part One

Good question... Damn, wish I'd filmed that video clip a second longer. I do think it looks like a shield, but it's tough to say. Also, the Covenent in question seems to pop it out only a split-second before making contact with the marine. I played solely as the Marines during my hands-on, but I don't remember ever going up against an elite or jackal effectively using such a shield like that against me. I'll have to ask Zondaro what he remembers about arm shields in the E3 demo, since he played on the Covenent side.

Teddman, i was just wondering if you or anyone you played with used an Energy Sword? If so, did it look rounded at the bottom, going into 2 sharp points, or did it have energy around it with two sharp points, such as the Halo 1 Plasma sword, and the sword that the elites carried after exiting the pods in the E3 2003 demo? Thanks....
