| '''Shielded Flood Carriers''' are a variant of [[Flood]] [[Carrier Form]]s with [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet]]s.
| |
| | |
| == Background ==
| |
| 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> In addition, Shielded Flood Carriers may have appeared to be infected Jackals.

| == Deleted Material ==
| |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| Why Carriers would require shileds is odd, as Carriers are used as suicidal deliverers of Infection Forms, so any defensive measures would be unnessesary.
| |
| | |
| == 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.
