lose the shield, they released it with no community apporval. One has only to look at the number of NO SHIELD servers to see its unpopularity. It adds no strategic elemnt to the game and jsut infuriates people.

I dont think Valve has to approve shit through the community. Its thier game and they do what they want to it when and how they want...Only stupid idiot nubs start bitching and whining about those thing when all they really need to do is:

1) remove the sand from thier pussies

2) Learn to play with them and just learn to rush a shield person and get to his side or just shot threw the shield up close.

Keep it!!! It's fun to run around and tick people off once in awhile :) besides, its good for noobs to get used to cs.

its not good for newbs to get used to cs!!! lol! they get used to being called nubs,fags,whores,bitches, that doesnt help, they dont get good aim with rifles or anything, just little pistols an gay ppl..that doesnt get u used to the game, i got used to the game by trying diff guns, not just a gay shield

either make it penetrable a bit or remove it, just think about it, while it could stop pistol and smg rounds.. it should let through rifle rounds (although while reducing the impact), and snipers should go through it like butter



that would add a tactical aspect to the shield, contrarily to now where you can just run into a crowd, crouch and let everyone empty their clips on to you and not have a bit of damage; instead it should allow the user to deflect a few shots and go for cover

It is at close range. they usally let you get close to them too. Then you can shoot right threw it. FFS it seems a bunch nubs are fighting about nubs killing them with a shield D: (only they awp should penatrate it since all other sniper rifles just shoot 1) 7.62 NATO or 2) 5.56 NATO..AWM Shoots the awsome .338 :)

they should make 2 shields, one that is lighter but can be penetrated by awp/ak/m4 and one that is super thick that cant be penetrated but it extremely slow

I have played CS since b7, until 1.6, you guys made CS too easy/newbie friendly, the shield, along with other changes (yes, including the awp change), was the last straw for me. This isn't a whine post, fun != ease to me, it just sucks that newbies got their way.



I play DoD now and enjoy it very much.

if u can fix it, or design it in a way that works for the majority, keep it.

otherwise scrap it and if possible, implement something else that will utilize the physics engine...



a pogo stick maybe.

[cold_fire1]

Keep it if their are no more bugs and Ts have anti shield weapons.

What is realistic about a guy running hundreds of yards all over the place with one? It looks retarded and is actually VERY unrealistic in its implementation within CS.



Get rid of it. I am tired of restricting it on our server. Plus, every new patch seems to include new problems with it.

Hello, CS is semi realistic. Half the things you can do in CS are nearly impossible. Anyhow, because it's fun and would definately showcase the power of the Source engine, it should stay. Please remember people, we are not talking about the old CS. The shield wasn't such a fitting addition to CS 1.6, because it was implemented on the original Half-Life engine which was never meant to support shields. The new physics engine will allow the shield to remain a powerful weapon, but also allow the enemy to counter it more effectively.

Frankly its a cool idea, but dosnt work well for the CS we are playing now. If it worked flawlessly for CS:S, and people didnt use it to be lame, then yes it should be a part of CS:S. Maybe terrorists could have molotov's



Edit: Maybe it should be made available on certain maps, like indoor maps. Make the sheild available where it would only be applicable in real life. You wouldnt see a real swat team running around a desert with a bunch of 40 pound shields on their arms :p

like i said earlier, i firmly believe the shield should get the boot.

however, if it HAS to stay do two things:

1) fix ALL bugs associated with it (hitbox and otherwise)

2) make a server variable cl_allowshield that doesn't require any mods



edit: i've come up with a third thing

3) make it available only on cs_ maps
