Well, be happy- no shield in CS:S

I don't understand, this was actually confirmed weeks and weeks ago in CSNation's CS:S interview with Cliffe.
 
Awww, that sucks. I liked the shield. Skilled players could kill me easily though, only noobs couldn't.
 
I like the shield
I remenber I was using it and nobody cant kill me, until I die

but whats the problem whit the shield?
 
Damn.. i was so good with the shield.. I would use myself as a decoy! or, i would end up in tense one-on-one end of round showdowns :) soo much running backwards :) (but for some reason people kept shooting at me, causing them to have to reload.. stupid people... why didnt they just run towards me and shoot up really close? i had no escape plan other than walking backwards)
 
I still cant understand why they got rid of it.. it wasnt like it was compulsory for youre server!
 
Yeah, sad they removed it. In 1.6 it had too many bugs, so it was never really used (no Official Leagues and restricted on 80% of all servers).

I really liked it - it added a teamplay factor and was a good choice against awp.

but anyway.....it's gone :'(
 
lol I'll show this post to valve if a hundred more people post the same thing...
 
Damn, I know I am for sure going to miss the shield. :hmph:
I loved using it. If they don't put it back, I hope they'll be something just as interesting in Source to use. That shield added strategy and tactics into a game that was just point and click.
 
[sarcasm]I wuv the shield!!!It was so great!!! [/sarcasm]
 
shield added a bit more tactical depth that cs sort of needed, i mean i remember me sheilding and two guys behind me; one with a shotgun the other with an m4, freakin' felt like a real swat team, we got tons of kills playing like that

shield was a blast; rip ct riot shield....:(
 
im not happy about the shield being taken out.
this is Valve catering to the masses again.. :rolleyes: :x

anyone who complains about the shield really doesn't know how to use it to begin with.. so really they can't appreciate what the shield brought to CS in terms of tactics/strategy.

well thanks for taking my post out of context.. :rolleyes:
my point was... they were taking the whole "catering to noobs" part too far by listening to pple whine about the shield.

i believe that CS used to take a certain amount of skill... but over the last 2-3 years, Valve have so "noobified" CS that skill doesn't mean as much anymore.

anyway forget it.. i don't expect u to understand.

heh, nah i know what you mean. But I disagree that CS doesn't really need skill anymore. It's alot easier to get started and do alright, to become truly 'good' at CS you gotta be naturally good and play a hell of a lot.

Also, when it comes to CS, I often find that 'noobs' are the majority. :p Well, at least on some servers.
 
just wrote a long reply that ive lost, so ill keep it short - the shield is so much fun, i hope someone brings it back in a mod for hl2 :D
