Riot Shield
About the Author
The Riot sheild was a great idea for the game, but fails to be effictive on the gamefield. u cant use a gun while using the sheild and it only protects you manly for upperbody while your legs are still in the wide open.
I’ve been having fun with the riot shield, but you need team communication for it to work effectively. I’ve found that the riot shield proves to be a fantastic distraction. If you’re crouching and go around a corner, you have the ability to draw enemy fire towards you. It’s worked well when I had 1 – 2 other players to cover me.
I agree with Cashtrokid, the riot shield is mainly a tactical implement. when used in Search and Destroy with people who know what they are doing, it is an amazing tactic. you draw fire with the shield while you teammates take out the hostile. But i still agree that you should be able to use a handgun with it like you can in Rainbow six vegas.
use it on search u get loads of points for deflecting bullits
Use it to block Sentry Guns for your team, and collect a ton of points in the process. Until you destroy the Sentry by deflecting
Really good tactics for the riot shield guys, I especially love the sentry guns idea – beautiful!
Also whack your enemy twice to kill them with the shield. Soon makes em back off!
I agree that you should be able to use a gun with it, as that is basically what keeps me from using it as i do not like the secondary weapons much.
everyone everywer seems to think you cant use the riot shield as an offensive weapon on your own, but all you need is different tactics. what happens wen someone suddenly appears around a corner with a riot shield, what do you do, first everyone sketches out horrible and either runs or sprays. just run at people as soon as your pretty close they have no idea wats going on, just us it to scare em, then give em a bash
iv got killstreaks just as high as with other weapons, not as often but its alot more fun.
Can you use a secondary weapon w/ Riot Shield? If so, how on PC?
