'''Shielded Flood Carriers''' are a variant of [[Flood]] [[Carrier Form]]s with [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet]]s. These were tested by [[Bungie]] and their unfinished forms have been found buried in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' disc, but they have not been included in any actual game.<ref>http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive24.pl?read=724753</ref> The behavior of the Shielded Carrier Form is identical to the unshielded variant, the sole difference being that it is harder to shoot them.<ref>http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive24.pl?read=724861</ref>
Shielded [[Flood]] Carriers are part of the [[:Category:Deleted Material|Deleted Material]] cut from the Halo game.

When developing ''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Bungie]] faced numerous delays for various technical reasons. The actual launch date of the game was almost a year after its original date (Just the E3 2003 Demo supposedly took [[7]] months to complete). 

As such many aspects of the story such as vehicles, game play/design and story elements did not make it into the final version of ''[[Halo 2]]''. Many of the elements have been by confirmed by such things as videos and commentary on the Limited Edition special DVD for [[Halo 2]].
== Trivia ==
*Possibly because they are just an unfinished test, these [[Carrier Form]]s' "hands" pass through their shields freely.
*With an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] you can overload the carrier's shields and they cannot regenerate it.
