Shielding CS:S

[Big_BossUK]

scrap it, scrap it NOW!

Remove it out! Because it bugs so much and you cant use it so well than you should! This is the right choice!

I have shield users on my server quite a lot. They're not really annoying, actually, unless they act like a n00b and camp a corner.



I say keep it in. Hopefully all the bugs that is associated with it disappears with CS:S, seeing as it is a new engine with new physics and crap. It might actually work out.

Ok I say, boot it, make CS back like its normal. But I say we should also keep it because I think we want a more relistic game of CS? Feel like the world right? Well riot police use shields, and I think the shield is only fair to have in there, if they fix the stuff with it, make it cool and then people not stop complaining and we should be able to disable it without any other mod added to the server.

keep it, its funz :)

or just make it like it is in cs for xbox where it doesnt cover ur whole body unles ur crouched, and even then u can still get shot, but i still say remove it..

[BoNeLeSS]

keep it

Get rid of it. It has no right to be in CS. The CT's already have an advantage on most DE maps (and in fact the CTs have an automatic advantage in all maps already, since the USP.45 ACP Tactical is better then the Glock18c, as everyone knows) and the shield just makes it even worse.

Both teams got a new rifle = fair for both teams. One team gets a bonus item, rendering the user half-invincible = not fair. Not fair map + not fair team advanatge = lame, boring game.



Not only that, but think about it. It's a riot shield. When was the last time you heard of the SAS, SEals, GSG9 or whoever else using riot gear in an anti-terrorist operation? They wouldn't drop into some aztec ruins to face some bomb-weiding terrorist, armed with a riot shield and a pistol.



So I say, get rid of it. It has no place in CS, not only does it not in terms of the already biased game machanics, but it doesn't have a place theme-wise either. This isn't an anti-riot mod, it's an anti-terrorist mod.

[Supersonic^]

Drop it.



I've said it before and I'll say it again:



Since when did the elite army units like the SEALS and SAS use riot shields?



Riot shields are for local security guards at riots.

This is like the tenth time you've posted to this thread just saying to remove it. [Edit] I counted each reply and it was indeed ten. :P

[Crazyfosho]

is it me or do people not realise when you shoot a sheilder they lose all of their accuracy...

[cablecopulate]

Keep it. It's great for teamwork, just fix it.

I say, since you created steam so that you can more easily update games, you spend your development time right now perfecting everything else, then work every possible bug out the shield and once that's done release it over steam. Best possible use of your resources that I can see...



or possibly only make the shield for cs_ maps, cause that's where you need them the most IMO.

My advice for valve: remove the shield, revert back to the old AWP behavior and in the future don't listen to the hordes of "retail" newbies.
