And yeah, they unfortunately did not fix the shield penetration bugs as they had claimed, so hopefully they'll figure out what's going wrong, and get that patched up shortly.



The beta test is still fun, though. :)

The shield has been blocking all fire when pointing directly at the enemy and crouching, as well as blocking fire when not deployed. What bugs are still being found with the shield? Is it actually allowing bullet penetration or is it just bullets hittng the elbows and feet that are exposed behind the shield when moving around too much?

3 frags really sux.why won't they implement some kinda skill points instead putting it into frags.i mean it would be better to get skill points for planting,defusing,multi-kills..........this REALLY SUX.frags are frags-which is number of kills if you dunno....with this option i won't mind

Being a beta test, I've been doing a lot of stuff that I wouldn't normally try out. AWPing is one such thing that I've done a bit of. Here's been my observations of the shield, while firing at someone who is crouched, not moving, and looking directly at me, with the shield deployed.



Sometimes, it fully works, stopping everything coming at it. I don't think I've ever seen normal pistol rounds (this does not include DE) penetrating it.



Sometimes, it seems to work perfectly, then a random bullet slips through. Going full auto with a Galil at a shield user, not being able to see any of his body, sometimes leads to him suddenly dying from a headshot, or sometimes from body shots. Seems like everything's being stopped, then suddenly BAM he falls over dead. Doesn't always happen like this, but I've still been seeing it fairly often.



AWP is usually stopped, but not always. Gotten several kills, body or head, pointing at the center of a deployed shield, and firing. Usually the bullets are stopped, but sometimes lobbing 4-5 consecutive shots at it results in them dying.



The shield works most of the time, but it only takes a few bullets getting by (with as many as tend to get shot at the shield) to ruin the whole effect. All in all, though, it's been a pretty cool addition, and it often can lead to different styles of play than we're used to.



Most of the time, though, shield users either get caught from the sides, or (my personal favorite) an enemy runs head on toward them, firing bursts so they keep their shield deployed, then jumps when close enough and shoots them in the head. :)

Urban do you look at the models you review at all? Well if you did you would know this is a hack not a simple reskin. FFS I see your reviews like this alot.

damn, thats one nice exploding sound. ...i cant wait to see what people are able to do with CS:S models...

[TheVash]

oh yeah, the whole "look how the lights turn on and the LCD actually works" thing sealed this for me. To quote something I heard awhile back......"It's all good.....yo"
