what if it will fit in league play (not public fun), and ppl will like it, and eSports will be more interesting?

It didn't kill CS in 2 months how everyone predicted, it can't be too bad now.

It didn't kill CS, because 90% or so of the servers currently have it banned.

They had it banned because the leagues did.

A. Shield was banned on pubs before leagues did it.

B. Even on shield-enabled servers you wont see too many shielders as it is considerred pure lamage and ppl are trying to aviod it.

Ya the whoel scrim next year or the playoff. All the demo we can see on CT is getting all shields. Ya that makes game VERY interesting NOT!!!

What the hell did you just say?

OFMG!!!1 (Meanwhile in reality, whatever, some cheapass's will get lucky untill a person that isn't a complete and udder retard finds a loophole or glitch to beat the shield.)

Personally I don't like the idea of the shield at all, simply because it's been billed as a 'riot shield' when Counter-Terrorists wouldn't be using riot gear... but whatever, it just bugs me. As for glitches with the shield, I've yet to see any problems with it, it's just annoying how nothing can get past it bar knives and grenades. It'll be interesting to see how the pros deal with the shield in league play like this.

Heh the funny thing is you people missed the last CS update that had all those "fixed the shield bugs" messages in its changelog. Another thing that I find funny: Even if the shield appears to be unbalanced, it doesn't matter in league play because you switch sides mid-match. Everyone gets a chance with it. So shut up whiners, I'm tired of hearing your bullshit. If you don't like it, go play in OGL. rofl

I don't know how it is possible to say something so ignorant unless you yourself are horrible at CS and a complete idiot. It didn't fix shield hitboxes at all. You can see their feet and fire at them but you won't hit them. They can lower their shield to fire at you and you can hit them directly in the head and see nothing but sparks from the shield while other times people shoot directly into it and get a headshot. You have little indication on whether you're damaging them if they have armor on and you can't assume you're doing damage do to the fact that even when shooting what is exposed it fails to hurt them often.



As for it being unbalanced, they dropped aztec from CAL/CPL because it was too ct sided making the scores look too unbalanced if they stop at 13 plus when you go 1-11 t side you aren't going to have a whole lot of momentum going into ct pistol round. I can't really talk about balance issues though do to the fact that if a t gets a shield, rushes are easier. I'm not too against shields(because anything on balance is just speculation) as long as they fix the hitboxes so that you can hurt them when they're exposed.

The Shotguns are the best way to kill shielders, but nobody uses the shotguns so that's why nobody knows this. Clue in people!

i will conside the shield gay as long as u can awp them right in the face hole from point blank w/o doing damage

I'm sorry you suck so bad that you can't kill people with shields. And not playing well after going 1-11 because your "momentum" is down is a personal problem to be honest.

Man it's not April Fools for months now, wtf... =/

[Buddah]

Hitboxs with the shield are still screwed. You can still get to the side and fire and still hit the shield.

[Noldster]

nice fucking job Frank. Even without the exploits, do you know how goddam uneven it is?

[evildoughnuts]

Fixed the shield hahhaa. I can still shield glitch when ever I want CAL here I come
