    Have a go at using the Riot Shield with a throwing knife. Wait for the enemy to reload or switch weapons then give the knife a throw. Rinse and repeat.

      That is my main strategy on most maps when using Riot Shield. I think the Riot Shield is the funnest weapon in the game:laugh:.

          As the holder of a Riot Shield, you are the ultimate distraction. Players will attempt to make pot shots at you with the hopes that they will be able to hit you. Arrogant Chopper and Jet users will do the same. If you see someone with a Riot Shield grabbing all the attention on your team, use the opportunity to flank your enemy, if you have the chance.

            Dealing with riot shields is extremely simple. Most users will expect you to shoot at them, and if you are confronted you can often just stand and stare at them. Most will start pushing you or try to switch to their weapon/grenade and that gives you time to make a move. Normally I just watch them to try shield themselves from me and then when the time is right sprint/jump to their side and kill 'em.

              The counter to that for shield users is to back around the corner and switch to an auto-shottie. Soon they will come bouncing around the corner, expecting to circle a shield user. And instead they end off as a tastefull wall decoration

                Pretty much all Riot Shield'ers I've kills have been with just a knife. If they are crouch walking then I just sprint to whatever side has more room from the wall and knife him. If they are trying to sprint to me I'll usually just sprint away also until I get enough distance to get a few bullets in their foot.

                  Tip: Run virus scans.

                  Don't use Scrambler unless you WANT your enemy to know that you are nearby. Use cold blooded and Ninja.

                    A combination of Marathon, Lightweight and Commando make for an excellent class to play if you have intents of getting up close and personal with your knife. Bring a sub-machine gun and a pistol along for quick shooting when range is necessary. Don't bring a Riot Shield unless you can bear the weight.

                          Ones from airdropped crates don't, all others do from what I understand.
