Gameplay: Assault/Riot Shields

[Brusi]

So in Planetside 2, the time to kill is going to be lower than in Planetside. (See this thread and many more for TTK discussion)

I would love to see an infantry item, perhaps only equipable by REXO users that allows for increased frontal armor, that will still allow a certain level of meaningful, slightly less than completely suicidal infantry assault.

Of course it should be balanced to stop shield users being indestructble one man armies, but i don't think it would be that hard to include a balanced, defensive, tactical infantry option.

Personally i think that the idea is both cool, and that it would fit in with parts of PS/PS2's tower/base and urban combat styles.





What do ya rekon?
