Riot Shields are overpowered

[x42bn6]

There is nothing better than having your whole team killed because you can't hit the Counter-terrorists due to shields. Goddamn.

 

[jd-inflames]

Overpowered. Annoying. A Pain. Utterly Useless. All words to describe it.

 

[Jimbo]

but they are teh fun to use =/

whoever aded shields to 1.6 killed a little part of the game

im playin back since b4 1.3

 

[jd-inflames]

I started at 1.3...bless bunny hops

 

[x42bn6]

I spend half my time just trying to flashbang them so we can run over their behinds. But I die just getting close to them.

Worst thing is you have to meet them head on and there's always someone behind them. Yes, with a Riot Shield themselves.

The worst imbalance in gaming history. Worse than Beastmaster Harass in Warcraft.

Thank god the riot shield is band from cal ,and many pubs. The only way I know how to kill them(and it always works unless he has 2+guys with him) just shoot one shot and then wait for the moron to lower his shield and simply get a headshot.

 

[x42bn6]

Waiting gets you killed, doesn't it?

Of course, if he's alone you could always run around like a mad man and get him with your pistol.

 

[jd-inflames]

Well, do what I do...stick with 1.5

 

[x42bn6]

The cybercafe I go to doesn't have the older versions.

No more 1.5, that is so not fair.....

Back to Bf1942, I suppose.

 

[Hot Action Akule]

meh i dont really see em used where i play. Btw I owned zaku today

 

[CerebralChain]

I don't see shields often when i play, but when i do they're easily owned, either by my knife or my AK.

 

[Hot Action Akule]

lol m4 usually puts em down fast too...

 

[D.F.I.]

Shields suck. No-one I play against use them anyway. Really funny seeing a team killed and the only guy left has a shield. Took a long time to kill him however....

@x46: Where do you get your avatars? They look cooll.....

 

[x42bn6]

Half the time the only way to kill a Shielded enemy is to Grenade his ass or something.....

I get my avatars from..... *drumroll* Google Images!

 

[xjMaN88lx]

I started at 1.3...bless bunny hops

yes jd my clan and i used to bunny hop our way all over

 

[D.F.I.]

1.5 was the best version. Pretty balanced......

 

[Axxaer]

riot shields arent really that bad if you use the right strategies it isnt too hard to beat them

 

[jd-inflames]

Never had a problem with them, but they are rather pointless...rebel against 1.6 I tell you!!! 1.5 come back to me!

If its me just up against one sheilder I just jump up at them and shoot in the air. It works almost everytime. I'm close, within a foot of them. I burst and basically all the shots will hit them unless they are smart and bring the sheild up to block.
