Shielding CS:S

[Linux]

Valve put CS back to the way it was in 1.4, had good stuff, less bugs, none of this shield BS and new gun BS... I want my WON servers back damn it!!!

Well want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills faster. WON is going down and Steam is here to stay. Even HL2 is gonna be on it. I think Valve needs to keep updating since its no fun if it never changes. And its really hard for noobies to. Im not to nice to noobies but when they ask a question i usally ansewr it to my best but anyways a fully tweaked CT shield would be cool. Terrors need something like a molotov cocktail then.

Get rid of the shield please. Focus instead on revamping and creating maps. A new gameplay mode couldn't hurt...just for fun.

You gotta wonder why they don't just create a poll through steam.

I think the smart thing todo is keep it, but make an option for the server to disable it.



That way everyones happy and your effort isnt wasted. Why remove it completely? Some people enjoy it.

i dun really like the shield when i tried it.. other than using it for cosmetic effect to creat a good POTD there really isnt any good way to use it in actual gameplay, it has many bugs such as the ones mentioned in previous posts.. so i say we take it out.. let cs go back to "I GOT MORE SKILLZ THAN U SO I PWNZ U WIF MY DEAGLE" style again..

in all honesty i don't really enjoy the shield in 1.6, the only time i usually use it is if some nubs on ct are all shielding and i kill them and use it to harass their team the following round(s).



However my main complaint with the shield is not the general idea of it... its the fact that the current hl engine is not near accurate enough to properly use the shield.



If the source engine is capable of proper shield hit detection (instead of now when you shoot them in their face and it registers a shield hit, also from the sides) then by all means include the shield, but i still think they should make some odd guns like the para, and obviously due to its caliber the awp, penetrate it if only somewhat.



So i vote to not remove it if it can be made accurate and consistant, yes to boot it if not.

If it were to be put in, it should only be able to be used if the CT's are loosing horribly and the T's have much better players. The worst thing about it is when a team uses it exclusively.

[SWAT Pointman]

Don't remove the shield.It protects against awps.

shield+mac10 yeahh it would be really cool...



I Would like to keep the shield if it were vastly improved...

The shield was a thoughtful idea but it changes the gameplay too much. Veterans hate it because they are used to one type of strategy and beginners think it is cool. Personally I think it should be scrapped.

I say keep it, but only make it available on the CS_maps because from what I've found that's really the only use for it. But if it is a development issue then drop it...perfect it...and re-release it. Plus I don't think the shield gives THAT much of an advantage. It does in some ways but remember the T's also get Two decent-powered, decent-accuracy rifles for around $1000 less than the CT's can buy the M4 so in that sense it is a good counter

[NightSh4de]

Um most of you guys are forgeting its gonna be on a new source engine and it might be really cool. I think the release of CSS should have it and if it doesnt work out then scrap it.

I don't play in servers that implement the shield. The competitive community has rejected it as a whole and it will never be considered.



It's now become another annoying tactic used in noob servers to piss people off. Please get rid of it for God sake.

[Fabio.cz]

you should completely rebuild it from the penetration (like wall) or something like hp bar to right hitbox of the shield in front of player etc.



its quite slow and boring if someone stay with shield until you're reloading to take you down with pistol

[ph03nix(k)]

there needs to be a poll, reading this is annoying
