Riot Sheild



Riot Sheild

The riot sheild is a weapon that is used primarily for deflecting bullets so you can move forward with you teamates, then beat the hell out of you enemys. on of the major downturns of the riot sheild is that you can't shoot your enemys, only run up to them and attack them.

Tips

this weapon is brutaly effective on some maps, like terminal, with the many ledges and corners giving it a mazelike quality and shortening distance between you and you enemy, but completly uneffective on other maps, like rust because it is small and completly open and enemys can easily loop around to shoot you in the back or onto the tower to shoot you from the top.

these can be easily thwarted with grenade launchers

the "Crowd Control" medal is easily acheived with this as long as you have a teamate with you, it gives you an extra 40 exp points per kill, as long as at least one shot of the enemys hits your sheild
