In Response To: Re: Elites glass sheilds in Infinite Succor (SPARTAN-034)
: Well, Infinite Soccor happens midway through 343 Guilty Spark, so I don't
: think thats an option. I think its just an extra type of reserve shield
: for added protection on close quarters.
From what I have been able to make out from the artwork, its actually the sword changed into a shield. One second he has two swords, the next a sword and shield, hence it would be plasma rather than glass.
On some of the panels, especially on page 52, you can also see the basic shape of the sword in the centre of the shield.
So the general conclusion I've come to is that despite such a feature not being in the games, the Covenant energy sword may be dual purpose.
