The game has gotten less and less fun for the best members of the community, the people who play in CAL, so please listen to us for a change.

Congratulations on offending me, and causing me to dismiss your entire argument out of spite.



Stepping up and declaring your superiority is not a good way to win over a crowd.

azzor, you have said it over and over again to make it a server option... I think I got it the first time.



So you want to make it a server option? Awww, ok.

Ohh, and plus this comment, which appeared right after I posted this.



Now that just seems totally ridiculous. Awp hater!

No-one was noticing my post so I put something st00pid :P

[hotbot]

fix the glitches and bugs (and maybe make it destructible) or remove it...

"Make it destructable" Do you have ANY idea just how worthless that would make it? Even as it stands it isnt a god powered killing machine. One player with an AWP can do far more then one with a shield. I would like to know how many of you even play with shields! I doubt many are more then "It wasnt in alpha 0.006 so it sucks. Change is bad." mongers.

No shield in CS:S, the thing is a joke. Its over used, and still if you fixed the glitches it would stilly be retarded. The thing has no tactical value, except for stopping an entire rush by blocking a doorway, or using it to cover your teammates, essentially making them invincible.



In other words, down with the shield.

I remember way back when the idea of a shield was only a dream and at one poit, I thought I remember them saying that they scrapped the idea because it couldn't be done. Time went on and suddenly it was reveled that they had a working shield and it was going to be in the new 1.6 release with Steam, yata!



It has it's problem, but it's a very useful tool.



I was hoping that the Source engine would be more ideal to handle the physics of the sheild and I think they should at least work on it. There's plenty of time before HL2 is released (could me more time than what we're expecting =P)



All they need to work on it is the collision detection/hitbox so that the shield only protects what it's seen protecting...and they need to increase the dmg of it's knife attack, 15 dmg per hit is pathetic!

[ALT+F4]

Although I despise both the AWP and the Tactical Shield ingame it IS nice to have options. "Right turn permitted on red" does not mean "right turn required on red."



"Realism" (sorry) in this game stops dead in its tracks the moment your crack Counter Terrorism Unit show up onscene with only $800 for equipment, which must apparently be bought from some opportunistic street vendor who chases the SWAT van like some shyster after an ambulance.



The simple solution for satisfying online gaming, as always, is to find (or create) a server for people who like to play the way you do. No shield, all AWP, 24/7 Dust, fy_jerkoff, whatever.



You don't go knowingly join a WC3-mod server then complain about how gay WC is in CS. At least I don't. Anymore.

[Equalizer!]

Only the n00bs here are saying the shield is good. All the REAL players will know that the shield must go. Get the shield out the fuck of cs.

"now in 1.6, getting killed by some random guy running towards us spraying with a galil, or getting distracted by some guy running behind a shielder so the shielder moves his shield 2 inches to the right and kills us"



So true. VALVe @ beta 7.1 @ CS2 ^^

[alien3456]

keep

[CobbeH]

Please VALVe dont fuckup CS2 like you have with CS over the years, players need some old school style in cs2 or you will suffer the consequences.

[D of the O J]

lol VALVe can do what they want with CS, CobbeH, I doubt they'll suffer any consequences with what they do. You'll adapt.



*ahem*



maybe CS:S shouldn't have the shield until the first upgrade, so that all other bugs can be caught and killed. Then, with the time gained by waiting a bit, they could release a perfectly balanced shield that'll blow us away.



anyways I doubt VALVe will decide what to do based on what us CS Nation people say. I mean there's probably only a 150 different people saying things at the very least on this thread, not enough to make major decisions, but maybe enough for them to get ideas.



Fact is too many of you guys are thinking of shield as what it is in CS 1.6, just put it in your mind in Source, no hitboxes and physics, and imagine.
