UGS Stance on Riot Shield

[-Aragorn]

Edited by [user="10696"] @ [time="1068096585"]

CAL is allowing the shield with the hopes that all of the current bugs will be fixed by next season. If it turns out that the current bugs are not fixed, and are actually detrimental to the gameplay - allowing the shield will change.



CAL just has a policy of supporting VALVe, in the hopes that it will encourage them to get the bugs fixed.



Thirdly, CAL would never disallow any weapon or item in counter-strike unless there were bugs attributed with them. If it is part of what the aim of the game is, then it is part of the league.



The shield is just going to force people to develop new strategies -putting back some life into CS. However, if it turns out the shield is utter crap... then most people will probably not use it. It will become a "joke" item as are the elites, and only the playthings of public servers.

He isn't invincible in the video, but I can't hit him with bullets. I knew you'd say that about the UK2 stuff, and yes I do, since there aren't any good bots for CS yet imo, I just play on assault to praccy some awp, everyone there plays like a bot anyway

rofl.... take this in for example... i used only the pistol p228 for 8 months... during that 8 months i played in cal-o... i did perfectly fine with that pistol... never had to through wall or nothing... now i play with the shield... and now i suck... cs 1.6's shield glitches the pistols and your run speed... on wc3 mod i use undead scourge... everytime i put on shield and take shield off it sets my run speed to that of a para without unholy auroa... there's too many glitches and it's hard to play
