View Full Version : The Shield


Burner
I am interested in using this game as a training tool at my work, but I can't unless I am able to use the bullet stoppers "the old shields". Is there an update or a way to add the old shield back into the game or anyone know how to make an update?

Mr.
You want to put the shield from 1.6 into Source? There are no mods that I'm aware of that do that. I hope there never is one.

Bleh, the shield was a great tool. It was problably the only realistic part of the game other than the AWP "which is actually a AWM arctic warfare magnum" would bounce right through it like warm butter. I loved the shield man!

well thing with cs is that even though its a reality based game, its still a fast pased shooter with a variety of weapons, which is why alot of people got into it.

the shield most definatly brought this down cause it slowed down the gameplay, and truthfully gave an unfair advantage to the CT team. (play CS on xbox, the bots will stand and look at ur head until u move the shield and they will HS the split second u move it)

it helped with strategy yeah but again the whole unfair advantage thing, plus with source alot of the guns are different, like shotgun is more powerful and the grenades/flashbangs do alot more damage so even without the shield ur getting more realistic gameplay.

ooo and yeah i doubt they will bring the shield back, or will they put out a mod with one.

I would love the terrorists to be able to plant booby traps while the counter terrorists plant claymores. Better yet...terrorists with suicide bombs. Now that's reality.

Mr.
Source really isn't a "realism" mod since there's no way you can jump around with a sniper rifle like that and still be accurate. DoD would be better if you wanted more realism.

The shield just made it very unbalanced and especially lame in pubs since there wasn't a good Terrorist equivalent or counter.
