Army of Two Style Shield

Kingpin665 · August 6th, 2008, 12:24

I just curious what ppl think in the sense of it being like cheating or not. The way I see it its a gun accessory and isn't much different then normal cover other then its mobile. But just for shits and giggles I made this last week out of some spare sheet metal from work we had kicking around, its quite crude because I didn't want to put much work into it just to find no game hosts would allow me to use it.

Ghetto rifle shield:

Depending on the game rules, a shot to the shield would take you out or your gun.... lol!

Very nice though, front heavy?

NoobSchoolBus · August 6th, 2008, 12:29

LMAO WOW that's so badass. I was thinking of doing something along those lines.

It'd be awesome if it became game approved. But then EVERYONE and their moms would want one as well.

LeetG · August 6th, 2008, 12:31

That's uber sexy.

Roughneck · August 6th, 2008, 12:31

I could see game admins being ok with it for support gunners, or only letting one or two guys per team have one.. but definitly wouldnt want everyone with it.

Cassius · August 6th, 2008, 12:39

Not bad not bad :P It always pleases me to see stuff from our game that you guys create in real life.

Danke · August 6th, 2008, 12:46

Best rule I've heard down about those and SWAT shields is that if they are of a weight and thickness equal to a real bullet stopper then have at it.

Otherwise you're still dead.

I'm actually working on doing a Rios mask as well with a bit of my own person touch added in so I'll post that and improve the shield I'm sure, but I'm happy to see positive feed back on the concept model lol. I was so excited to use it for the first time on Monday at FR but my rifle wasn't working, so I went with duel P226's instead... now I'm pumped for September when I get back from BC to game with it and see what ppl think then too.

Mine is quite thin and weak, but it was just a test model after all, you can bend it with your bare hands but its still quite stable to the point I could block a small rock and not wreck it. Now as to what Danke said about it being full weight then being ok, I can't really agree with that as hardly any gear falls into that category with this game... and just that this is a game. As for it being front heavy as someone asked not really, shield probably weighs as much as a large battery or so plus with my gun I already have a mini in the front so it adds up but I don't notice it that much to behonest. When I put the final version together I want it to be a bit heavier but not by a butt load but was thinking of putting counter weights in the crane stock for a really nice balance.

KND · August 6th, 2008, 12:51

Hey ! That's badass, It would be more badass if you put on the M249.

Shirley · August 6th, 2008, 12:52

LOL At least other people can still shoot your body and arms.

Roughneck · August 6th, 2008, 12:53

I thought about making one for the SAW.. but I think it would get in the way more than anything. That and its heavy enough as it is.. the extra weight likely wouldnt be worth it unless you were playing base defense for the day.

PaCHeKo! · August 6th, 2008, 12:56

Mouhahahahah! Come get some!

Yeah, but if you go prone in the grass or something like that, one would become a very hard target to hit.

Ubi made this game right?

I'm sure you dont care, but if you do even better, the game was fun, but multiplayer was BRUTAL, couldent play for more than a few rounds.

Kingpin665 · August 6th, 2008, 13:19

Lol, yeah... it was hilarious to try that for the first time on Multiplayer haha what a joke. I did enjoy the game though (as I'm sure you've guessed) but as a single player campain meh it was the fact that it was so well done for co-op play with a buddy that made it as fun as it was.

And to PaCHeKo!... damn you for beating me to this lol, nice job though thats about how thick I was thinking of doing my final version as but I'll see how this one feels in game. Running around the house I am more then fine with so I don't see why it would be an issue on the field but... thats why you try it first right. Now if only we could do that with AEG's and GBB's :P

I just wish there was a game on Aug 8-9th I could go to now... :*(
