The shield will greatly assist the CT but these promote AWP whoring since the CT snipers can hide behind the shield when the T snipers open fire.



P.S. Scout kills would be VERY HARD.

Negative ! The Shield takes the spot of Primary weapons.

This would only work if the sniper had a friend helping out...thus we might get some much needed team-play.

Honestly, I could be wrong, but I don't think the shield will be used much, except for possibly the second round of the game. Why, you ask?



Only the CT's get a shield.



1. Opening rounds. Most T's go with the deagle, which can blast right through that shield. If it was a T weapon, against USP's it'd be great. Alas, this is not so.



2. After this, MP5's will get stopped, but beyond the 2nd round, AK-47's are the mainstay of the terrorist forces, and judging by how effective they already are through walls, they'll likely slice through that shield with ease. Sure, it might prolong the battle, but honestly, I'd MUCH rather go up against a T with an M4 than with a shield and a 5-7.



3. Shields will likely be grenade magnets. See a guy walking around with a shield and some people grouped in close for cover, and it just screams "perfect grenade target here". A group of closely packed CT's will also draw a lot of fire, and even if the intended target is missed, another target is likely to be hit.



If the ballistic shield could stop all but sniper rounds, I can imagine it would be an effective, team-oriented way of changing the play in CS quite a bit. However, seeing how mainstay assault rifles are in this game, my humble opinion is that the shield will not have as great an impact on the game as we might hope.



As far as the player models stuff in question, didn't they already say that custom player models weren't going to be allowed anymore (CS1.6+) due to issues with spiked models? Correct me if I'm wrong on this...

You don't buy a 5-7 and get the shield free, they are two seperate purchases. You can buy the 5-7 as normal OR buy the 5-7 and shield as a primary weapon.

Anyone know if Condition Zero will support other mods?



Like on CS retail I can install Day of Defeat and alot of other mods.



I'm hoping it's the same with Condition Zero?



I don't want to Install CS retail JUST to play DOD and then be playing cs on condition Zero.



Waste of space

i wonder if a terror could pick up a sheild once he has killed the guy who held it
