Re: Fist = Supershield?

In Response To: Re: Fist = Supershield? (Narcogen) : What isn't is that while Brutes have taken and modified for their own use : other Covenant tech available to Elites (Brute plasma rifles) they have : not done the same for other Covenant tech available to Elites (body : shields). This further emphasizes Tartarus' uniqueness as the Fist also : produces a shield. : It's been speculated that Elites won't let Brutes have shields, but I'm not : entirely convinced by that; there's no precedent for other, similar : restrictions. There is a hierarchy among species with regard to various : equipment, specifically offensive weapons, but for shields, it seems : reasonable that Brutes at least rank equal with Elites. At the very least, : the Brute honor guard should have them-- but they don't, either. I think : that choice was about gameplay balance and not story, so I think to add : story interpretations on to that omission isn't productive. As I've said before, there's a difference betweeen plasma rifles and energy shields. Plasma rifles are not Elite-exclusive, like shields or energy swords. If a Brute started using any of those, then they'd probably be in serious trouble, at least with the Elites.
