UGS Stance on Riot Shield

[FlamingYob]

The bugs are not fixed, I was playing on a server the other day and some prick was using it. He was on my team and it still pissed me off.

those of you who don't think the awp is fair, you need to really learn how to use the awp. Before playing in the states during college awp was never a real threat. The servers i play now always use awp so much that I had to adjust and use it too. Now I'm not as good as some but i can hold my own and you can indeed run around jump zoom land shoot and kill all in a fraction of second. If done right it looks as though you did not zoom at all, also awp has a high margin of error when used this way i've shoot and missed and still gotten a kill. Trust me alvinliu is right, and faggot 'lamer' your wrong. The better you get with awp the more you understand its unfair.

A bit of public/match servers mixing...? o_O

My only gripe with the shield is the ol it protects more than it is shown sorta "bug".



Its just not consistent. I could aim at what looks like the ct's exposed body but shots just bounce off.

UGS is making a bad decision if any other factor besides exploits has been taken into consideration. CAL will always be taken more seriously if they continue to implement poor rules and even worse maps.



The shield is part of Counter-Strike. If it's still buggy then it shouldn't be used in competitive play, but whether or not Joe Beerhog likes the item or not simply doesn't matter.

I agree rizzuh.. Bugs are the only reason not the allow a new weapon/item, not if people like them.. If we looked at what people wanted we would still be playing one of the early beta's of CS, because every new release lots of whining is going on about the new or changed stuff.. It's like people are afraid to lose their l33t skillz or something, which offcourse is bullshit.. If you have skill in one version of CS, you will still have it in another one.. And I see adapting to new things in CS as a bit of skill aswell.. And most important, it keeps the game fresh in a way.. I would never have played CS for almost 4,5 years now if it never changed, I would have gotten bored of it at one point..

Majority of CS players? The only players that complain on comment sections are whiny conservatives.

Nice move from ugs. The shield is making the hole game look gay and its most annoying thing in cs. I stopped playing on the servers that allow the shield after couple weeks. Im glad that there are some other people who think the same way.

yep, im sure we have all experienced this effect before



(and omg, u play on those shitty uk2 servers?)

[Helkite]

Judging from your video, he doesn't look very invincible to me.

If the shield still has bugs in it (hit box distortians, glitching to obtain invulnerability)--which it still does--it definitely can't be suited for league play. If Frank Nuccio decides the shield is fit for league play in CAL, that's ultimately his decision that he's basing upon his own judgement, and it's ultimately his league that he is holding the fate for.



All in all though, the shield will probably be worked in after a while eventually people will get used to it, like the way people got used to the bunny hop removal back in 1.3.

[Tennovan]

Uh, is it a tactical shield or a riot shield?

[MaxiM]

Some moron called it RS. RS blocks rocks and bottles and other objects throwed at shielder, not bullets. This is TS/BS (ballistic shield, but yet, more like a bullshit). I wonder when you guys gonna understand that this BS even when bugfree will be a problem, have you no imagination? There are shield team tactics that wil always win. You don't believe me? Not my problem, you'll see. Besides there is NO balance in BS. I mean commone, running at full speed with 80-100KG piece of metal in ONE HAND (those level 4 shield are coming with "wheelchairs" to move it)? Walking into vents/small windows with BS deployed? Defusing with BS deployed? Even jumping? And how stupid reload with BS looks? Some other game/mod developers are LOL at shield. Shield is a good idea for CS/AS maps, very poorly implemented. For DE maps it'sa big NO NO.



And rizzuh, the more i read from you, the more i see how biased you are to VALV€.



Oh, and i forgot to add: GG UGS!

[RaptorRage]

The shield weighs only 9.8kg (21.6 lbs)



Its just a Level IIIA ballistic shield endowed with magical properties to block all bullets and never wear out.
