I was playing on Incline earlier and noticed something wild. If you sit in a corner with a Riot Shield for a brief moment, the blowing snow starts blurring and frosting over the shield face. It only returns to normal when you kill someone. Did shg devs hide this because they secretly hate riot shields?
I still dont understand why Infinity Ward decided to turn the riotshied into a destructible fieldupgrade, it basically makes it useless.
The riot shield brings diversity to combat. It needs to be a primary weapon, not a field upgrade. Not everyone who carries a riot shield sits in a corner. The riotshield is true art and a staple of COD mp combat. If you spend time mastering it, it can be very useful and fun. The game already has op ars, smgs, one shot shotguns, one shot sniper rifles, crossbow, knives and other weapons that require different playstyles. The riot shield is no different. It offers a unique way to play and deserves a place in the game.
They need to revert it to how it was in MWIII. It was perfectly balanced there. They nerfed the movement and run speed with providing lots of counters to it. The riot shield has been in the game since og MW2 and no one had any problem with it, now all of sudden you see sweaty movement meta users crying about it.
