Kahruvel Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Shoot over it with your pistol. Bash with melee key. Guard with block key. Barrel through crowds. Become the ultimate squad pointman and tank. And when clan emblems come out? Smack it right over where the Grineer emblem is. We're done here. *Drops mic.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venarge Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) A riot shield? Serious? All we now need is a killcam and we get another COD Edited April 18, 2013 by Venarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahruvel Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) A riot shield? Serious? All we now need is a killcam and we get another COD That's... not what I was suggesting at all, and that was extremely disrespectful of you. I depise Call of Duty. In the interest of preventing a thread hijacking, I will point out that Grineer use these Call of Duty weapons quite frequently. They shield bash, and they scream "ALL GLORY TO THE GLORIOUS KDR" every time they do it. They then teabag the hell out of whatever poor Tenno they happened to kill, take a dump on their chests, and proclaim that they've slept with the Tenno's mother. I simply feel like we should be allowed to do the same. Edited April 18, 2013 by Kahruvel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code_Grey Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Riot shield is...actually a nice idea. Barring all the short sighted COD invoking. Would this take up the Primary or Melee slot though? I mean, the Tenno -can- use their Gorgons and Hek's one handed. (See wall running and aiming down sights while jumping, NO loss in accuracy.) Could it be a bit too effective if it's completely impenetrable? Maybe not...except Corpus could have a really tough time dealing with you. I think a sort of solid energy shield projected from the palm would be good, allowing for the shield to 'break' under EXTREME stress, with a good reason for it to magically come back later on. (Ammo system perhaps, limiting your use of the shield so you need to think strategically?) All in all, great idea, OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already see all those people hiding behind their riot shields moving like turtles to prevent damage.... It will be so much fun I cant even describe it.... Just because the enemies do something doesnt mean we have to do the same...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarson Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Could be fun.As an exemple, when playing with Rhino (who doesn't really look like a ninja according to me) as a defender (defence mission) it could be great to "shield stun" some attackers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageless_Emperion Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) To those who invoke that the idea of a riot shield is silly because we are "ninjas" let me remind you that we on a regular basis use high powered shotguns and railguns that would wake up the entire ship with the first shot. I for one would love to see a tower shield like melee weapon implemented which can lead to some fun gameplay against gun wielding enemies. You would still be slowed by it when you use it like when swinging a heavy weapon so you can't just run through a level all invulnerable and bash everything to death. It would also be useless against the infested as you would get swarmed from all directions. Also make it a high level unlock like 3-4 and you have a fun alternative to just slice and dice.

Nuntium Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 They could introduce a more defense styled frame that has this as one of its powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code_Grey Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Shields simply slow down the game flow..... I whole heartily disagree with that. It will -speed- the pacing of the game if a player has the freedom to move while under fire. A frame that needs to recharge their shields, can continue to advance with their riot shield. OR they can -not- advance and wait for their shields to recover. See how that works? A riot shield speeds up gameplay by giving freedom of movement. And to -anyone- that dares invoke "It's not in the theme of space-ninjas"-. You are...a special kind of person. It's a cop-out phrase. As many more reasonable people have mentioned, you're using huge railguns, shotguns and hammers. 'Space ninja' went out the airlock along with realism.

Ced23Ric Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 COD, you young whippersnappers? Counterstrike 1.6 did it. And it's despicable. Tenno slice dice and run. Tenno don't stack up, breech, bang and clear. We're not SWAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnicent Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I could see this being a very cool option, but there would have to be significant trade-offs, such as sacrificing your primary and melee weapons in favor of a shield, of course the shield would act as a bashing melee weapon with massive knockdown and stun ability, but reduced damage and speed as a result. It should also always be carried in one hand and raised while aiming, with a significant movement speed penalty as well as an accuracy penalty.

DalaiLlama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Reminds me of japanese history, samurai have tried experimenting with large segmented shields resembling turtle shells to block incoming arrow, and later, tanegashima volleys. I can imagine ninja carrying around decorated shields designed to look like moving bushes for camophlage and defense. Popular culture has depicted such shields that involve projectile firing mechanisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
