Shielding CS:S

[Smurfzilla]

dont say that ppl can play in servers without it, cuz u dont know unless u actually join the server and buy one, thats stupid, it should be part of the filter to use shields or not..and even tho thats a good idea, its actually quite dumb that ppl would wanna filter out part of the game, just get rid of it..ppl will always complain if its here, an ppl wont complain after awhile if its gone

[|OSG|HawkEyeWolf]

they should remove the shield, it is worthless, its got so many glitches its not worht the time, cut it and forget it

[D of the O J]

Yeah.



Slow it down



Give it a relatively long life-span. As in if you shoot it enough with high powered weapons, it will have huge gaps open up. Still usable, but just not as protecting as before.



fix the over-reaching crap

wtf are u talkin about opie? i thought nubs stopped complainin about the awp a long time ago, a usp can be a 1 shot cannon, its called a headshot..and awps are VERY easy to get around with out shields, its called spam spots, u know, where u know they would be,spam them, look cool killing the awper an take his 'whore cannon' the awp is perfect, cuz in real life, the scout AND the awp would kill any person in one hit, its a sniper rifle!

It's safe to assume CS:S knows exactly where the shield is and isn't and exactly where bullets hit. Just watch people die in the videos. :)

Using the shield correctly seems pretty hard for some people as to do so, alot of tactics and teamwork are involved. But because few people actually use team skills and tactics in CS, people hate the shield.



In My opinion, the shield is great, it brings more realism into the game, after all, it is a Counter-Terrorism modification.

In my opinion, the shield makes play very unbalanced in favour of the ct's. If you're going to keep it, then you need to make sure that there aren't any glitches or problems, and also seriously consider giving the terrorists something in return, maybe even letting them buy shields as well.

[Jaskier]

remove, definetely

[n8bowa]

Fix it to perfection, or remove it altogether.

but you shoot someone anywhere above the legs with an AWP and they're dead no matter what. Not only that, but if you haven't noticed, USP can't zoom in.



Anyways...



I agree with most everything Opie said. I don't think we should get rid of AWPs, but I think he was just showing that the AWP is just about as unfair as the shield. Shield can be easily overcome, you just have to have patience. Skilled CS players wouldn't whine about the shield, they'd be formulating strategies for fighting it, and preparing themselves every time they play as a terrorist to be able to destroy someone using one.

I definitely think it should be removed, it has never once been welcomed in a server which i have played on without someone being very angry about it and i myself feel that it has no use in the game other than slowing down the death of players who are destined to die sooner or later....

[spartianII]

i LOVE using the shield, but considering, the exploits, unbalanced use by ct's, time to correct its errors, scrap it



if your guna keep it you might as well give the T's a rocket launcher

[Organized_Chaos]

Just boot it. It will take too much time to adjust the shield to what the developers consider to be fair and then to gather user feedback and modify it accordingly. Besides, 9 out of 10 times, the shield is not used in the way it was meant to be used, and only hinders the game.

No. Don't let T's use the shield as well. That'd be stupid. Shields are something that Counter-Terrorist groups use offen, not terrorist cells. That'd be like giving the FAMAS to the T's, and the Galil to the CT's. It makes it more varied in special. Having the same wepaons on both sides would make it boring.
