CS 1.6: Shield, FAMAS, Galil

[RaptorRage]

So does the release of 3 weapons/items imply that the M-60, machette and Flare could be added to CS 1.7 and the gas grenade, molotov cocktail and gas mask added to CS 1.8, or in some other combination like that?

I think they wont/and we don't need to add gas greande, molotov coctail and the law to cs's multiplayer part.

Maybe they can add them into some beta versions, to test if it keeps the maps well balanced.

Yeah, in a normal public server, 5 CT's could effectively cover say site B on Dust2 for the whole round, just by blocking entrances with gas grenades. When A T comes through, all messed up, they shoot them with ease.



Oh, and since an AWP can already go through dense objects such as stone pillars and such, Whats a shield going to do? Nock off 3 HP? It'll still kill you, if aimed right.

The shield protects againt small arms fire and light calibre SMG's, mp5/UMP/p90 etc.

well, in the game thats true, but in real life the P90 has armor piercing rounds, and can shoot through 3 kevlars.



Its one of the best guns out there (made in Belgium ;-)

I publicly defy anyone at Valve to give these bullshit answers infront of a live audience.

If you're going to equip the shield with a deagle you may as well just attach an m4 to it too.

If you're going to equip the shield with a 5-7, you might as well just mount a straw with a fresh supply of paper wads to it.



Hey, wow! I'm getting deja vu!



"Hey, how can we add something that doesn't belong in the game?"



"I don't know. You mean like the Elites?"



"Yeah, that's it. Hey, what about a riot shield?"



"Dude, yeah! But we need to make buying it extremely pointless to confirm that we're dedicated to adding Shit That Doesn't Belong in the Game™"



"Yeah, whatever. Go for it"

It would seem very unrealistic to give the AWP full damage through shield+vest. It says it blocks small calibre rounds and slows down rifles rounds in the CS-Nation overview thing.



So pistols and SMGs should do no damage then and rilfes+awp should be greatly reduced.

Yeah. Instead of -150h for an elbow shot, it might only do -130. And inbetween shots, you could use the 5-7 to induce a mildly irritating rash on the AWPer. It'll bolster team communication with such important teammate interactions like "Try buying an actual weapon next round, fuckhead" and "Hey, i think you were more useful when you were flashbanging us".

I didn't realise everyone in CS had 200hp.

[MikeJ]

An awp headshot does over 425 damage, Dangki.

[Dangki]

I dont doubt it does, thankyou for sharing that with me.

[narby]

I think his point was it won't make a difference, it still kills you.

[Dangki]

Even in the elbow!!

[RaptorRage]

Anyone that says the 5-7 is worthless doesn't know how to use it effectively. And its effectiveness will only be increased in combination with the shield.

[mouth]

Its effectiveness will still be rivaled by a road flare.

[MikeJ]

Coming from someone playing since the early-mid betas, 3 seasons of CAL, and countless off-topic CSN comment post: 5-7 = worthless.



But I haven't seen the shield in action...I can only hope for the best.

[Haorsh]

oh my



this game might actually be fun to play again, looks interesting to say the least
