IF YOU PEOPLE THINK WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE SHIELD I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WATS WRONG WITH IT!!!!!!!

I think you should keep the shield, but it was a good ideia make the shield take damage and after a certain amount of power (each weapon has a amount of joules) the shield breaks and became useless.

Also they could input some options of "The Specialists" of put parts in the weapons.. (not a scope in AK, but flash ligth only if equipped in mp5 and others, laser sight for ups and glock...things like that)

The shield is annoying, but so are AWP sniper campers. Tactics can be implemented to work around these.

So what if it's not realistic to have a one-handed shield that stops all rifle rounds? It's also not realistic to have in your possession a knife and an AWP and run faster while having the knife out than while having the AWP ready. Being in a zoomed mode shouldn't make you run slower, either, nor should you be able to run as fast or shoot as straight at 1% health as you do at 100% health, but imagine the fury all these anti-shield guys would exhibit if CS was changed so that your speed was limited by the heaviest weapon or armor in your possession, or if your ability to fight was impaired by your injuries. They'd move on to Half Life multiplayer.

So, granted, the shield in CS isn't realistic. See bulletproofme.com and click on the shield section to see just how strong these shields can be, and if the thought of holding on one arm a shield that takes most people a wheelbarrow to cart around bothers you, just imagine you're an extraordinarily strong body-builder and deal with it. In any case, CS is not a realism simulation, but is simply a little more realistic compared to other FPSs, at least the scifi based ones.

One, awp sniper-campers can be gotten around by... killing them.

Two, You're a super-strong body builder... and you stutter when you jump.

i vote : boot it

dude keep it, its cool to have and the people that dont like it (just like people that dont like the awp) can live with it. the t's have the uber auto sniper and the ct's advantage is the shield. i myself rarely ever use it but i think it should stay becuase why would they want to remove something thats taken time to create and that doesnt have a real good reason to be removed.

[Water_640]

its a tough decision, to keep it is unfair for the t's except from what i am told, if u unload a full clip of the galil(defender) the last some bullets go through, if not thats 1 point for no, also, a great joy is being a t and killing a newb shielder and using against them, shield vs shield is very difficult which is why it can be fair, also it is good for distractions, have 4-5 guys shootin at u, and have someone sneak up and wipe em out, hehe, besides if people have spent alot of time becoming extremely good w/ shields, it would be unfair to make them newbs again, its like making an awp as strong as a scout

______________________________________________ so for my opinon i say keep it and never bother it again!

[=]sh[=smokie]

I think thy shouldnt remove the shield.a shield is easy to kill all u have to do is run into him shooting him. anyways counter strike was made to look realistic by removing the shiled it would make it look fake cause i seen movies where hey use the shields and those movies are realistic.

Rid IT!!!

[robots]

I have a great idea...why not just make the shield a filterable item in steam? That way it would be very simple for those that want to play with or without it to join a server of their liking. This whole BAN IT BAN IT attitude is pretty selfish...tonnes of players love the shield. They will no doubt love it more when the engine is up to making it realistic.

I think that the shield should be kept if you can shoot through the little window, it wares down after so many hits from the awp whatever and t's have something to balance it out like a rpg (rocket propelled grenade). At the moment the shield is only used on cs maps when the ct's are getting hammered. I think if they "fixd it" then it would become a more respected weapon and therefore used more.

[wg-c|Achilles]

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I have the sheild, I own. I don't utilize glitches or anything, I'm just good with it. I have played on a 1v7 game before, and I admit I didn't win against them, I got really far before they finally got me. I have, however, been on 1v3 games and been known to win everytime if I get the sheild.



My 2 cents.

Vote: Keep it



just make it so that you can filter Shield and AWP servers, that'll help everyone out

[|LDRK| Puker]

No no and again no, it's unstopable thing for me , if you want to put it in the game it should cost much much more. Quake damage for 800 $

quakedamage = shield

[Walter_PPK]

Are you guys kidding me?

Ofcourse the shield should NOT be removed!

Sure it's a new gameplay element to 1.6 but we've had ENOUGH time to figure out jumping and shooting from above WILL blow that lamer's head off! Leave it the way it is!



Besides, Source was never MEANT to alter anything except graphics physics and maybe a few maps.



I say leave it in.
