[Rejected] Riot shields for ct.

I think adding the riot shield item to armory on maps would be a cool idea that the cts could have them and could help the cts as they have a disadvantage, it also would be cool.

I really don’t think this is a good idea. I think JB is fine exactly how it is. All it really takes is 1-2 CT’s to take down half of the T team. With riot shields in play the game would be completely 1 sided. You could argue it would be more realistic. But if we are going to talk about how realistic a community server on CSGO is then that’s another thread.

I think this is a pretty cool idea. Like the shields would have 50-100 health or something and you as a t would have to break them to shoot them in the front but the cts are very vulnerable in the back and the head, And you can still 3 hit the with a knife, You could make it a decoy grenade but u pck it up and its a shield, I feel like this could be a cool idea. This could be a bad thing to add because it might get too op and it might create alot of lag.

Lol what server are you playing on, at least when i play it is usually heavily t sided unless you have really good cts.

In fact its is not balanced it is T sided all the way though no matter how you look at it, with secrets and movements i do not see 1-2 Cts handle a team of 7-8 realistically speaking holding down rebels.

Therefore, This is not a bad idea whatsoever the main issues is that lag that this item potentially causing during peak hours. Otherwise its a fine item to have for CTs but it does not block knifes only bullet shots it provides a safety from looking a looking away from a player with a secondary since ethey have to aim inside a small hole or force to blatantly disobey in order to grab that kill.

Overall, i could only see this item being added in JB and ZE

its a great item!

Instead of having to break the shields, if a shield were to be implemented, having to break the shield may make it a bit more unbalanced. I would see it as better if the shield were as it is in danger zone where it simply reduces damage.

yea they're pretty useless lol. could be cool but it might be a hassle if a T gets one then just camps with it and the CT's cant kill him

This doesn't entirely seem like something we'd like to add at the moment. It wouldn't be a whole lot of work to add it, but functionality wise we don't think it will play well.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
