(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I just found out that Modern Warfare 2 will feature a perk that allows you to carry a Riot Shield.
Pretty amazing news for me.
How does everyone think this will effect gameplay?
Personally I think it will encourage more teamwork with a couple of people using shield side by side they can provide much needed cover for someone behind them say tring to plant the bomb in an SND game.
I also wonder how much thses shiled will protect you?
Will they bounce off grenades?
deflect LMG bullets or maybe even defend against a rocket launcher.
I cannot wait to find out.

I think it was something like:

To give you a chance to hit the Riot-Shield-holder, you have to throw a Flashbang at the target, which would disorientate him, causing him to lower his shield.

yeah, u can only attack them when they move their shield from throwing flashbangs or some sort of grenade thing.. cant remember right now.

It would be cool if it was true

jeez do people on this forum not read!
It is true it's being confirmed more than once by 402

it would be cool for a while but then it would piss me off and there will be a riot shield for story mode not for online i think

ohhh ok chill out

I hope there isnt becuase there would be loads of noobs running around with it like Jugg.

man im scared that MW2 isnt gnna be like a COD game! thre bringing out to much stuff in one game, i dont think its gnna have that COD feeling wen playin it

This is going to add another fun element to the game. I can't wait.
