Pollerific!

lose the shield it has fucked up game play and is another another item added to the noob arsenal

[FAF]

It will be interesting to see how t tactics develop to counter the shield, but I think it can only do the series some good. Fact of the matter is that for 3 years, the only significant gameplay change in CS has been the 1.4 jumping thing. If a new spice isnt added to the gameplay soon, CS is gonna take a downward slide. All the ppl who bemoan the shield as being a waste of money must be some of the loner goth types mentioned in the poll. Following a team mate with a shield is akin to having your own portable, impermeable super duper hiding crate. A change is as good as a fresh start, and this is a change to the better.



Seems fairly plain to me that folks like Seth051 and Goerenz havent even given the shield a chance on a "proper" game of CS yet. Flame cos it's new, just like every other noob before a new version comes out. I know MikeJ flamed it too, but at least he's got the guts to admit that he hasn't tried it out against human opponents.



[edit] Oh yea, I believe that the shield was added because the game was becoming too much of a campathon with awps/AKs/Colts, and a change of pace was needed. Aside from redesigning the old maps, this was the only addition that was possible, as far as I can see[/edit]

I agree with #16.. The shield is fine once they fix the exploits.. And I can't understand the shield whiners.. Imho a AWP-user is alot bigger problem to handle then a shield-user, so should the AWP be taken out aswell? Should we take all weapons out we cannot beat (who is the n00b here?)? It's so typical of the average CS player to whine about things that are new or they cannot handle, it's so sad.. I bet most of you don't even know you can simply get close to a shielder and knife him thru the shield, and more of that stuff..



Anyway, I vote for the first option, that it might be an option for CT saverounds.. But I don't think alot a clans will use them in a clanwar because it's to easy to get arround as T in a clanwar.. At least I hope they keep the shield as it is and not make it weaker in some sort, because then it will really be a new useless weapon that will never be used over time.. Time will tell..

the poll should be ammended to include an option that says "i haven't played cs 1.6 yet."



as of right now... i cant honestly vote for anything... that makes me sad.



oh and orphy you're damn funny. haha tampon commercials... ah jesus.

[orphy]

Yea, I didn't mean to make it sound like that, but when I typed it and re-read it I laughed.



Anyway, I don't think there's a problem with either the AWP or Shield. If you know how to play, you can easily kill anyone who's whoring on them. Just run around them, and you're fine.

puffycloud kicks my ass he is great

To fix the shield, it should be made to take damage and break. And a shot to the little window should make it impossible to see forward through it.

here we go, 67 iq idiots complaining because they dont have any brains to think of a way to get by the sheild so they send hate mails to valve day by day
