I get that we can see how strong this riot shield is but has no one thought about how much force the operator had to take? He withstood a DIRECT MISSLE ATTACK AND COULD STILL PERFECTLY MOVE
Even if a shield like that could withstand a missile irl, the person behind it would not, they would be very dead. Both from overpressure and the force of the missile coming down on them through the shield, essentially crushing them.
@@KeksimusMaximus yeah not excatly 2 billion but around 1.5 - 1.7 billions. It's B-2 spirit. The one and only model that is the masterpiece of bomber plane, perfected in every trait and can carry over 500 guided bomb or 16 nuclear bomb. It is designed to fly through sky at ease without being detected and the engine sound radius is pretty much smaller compared to other plane at their size. So let's say if you're terrorist and hear the sound, there's nothing you can do anymore. This thing is 30 years old and still look hi-tech and beautiful as it is back in the day and not any bomber plane can compared to this beast. They only have 20 of them existed and 1 that crashed. If you live in USA and see them fly by, you're pretty lucky, it is very rare to see them.
@@HaradaCh Like it's hard to believe one plane costs that much. No matter what plane it is. The actual war shows that it's better to have 2 billions of 1 dollar dumb drones with like a kilo of explosives than only one 2bil plane. Overwhelming AA defence and all
Ngl. They deliver. They said advanced. Not realistic. Essentially means the shield from whatever timeline they're taking it from may as well be made from vibranium.
You know, they could easily balance riot shields by just giving them a health pool, say a human has 100 health, if they still wanted the riot shield to be somewhat beefy, maybe give the riot shield 500 health, that way its not something that someone can just use indefinitely like this, they could even have each 100 health lost be a visible degradation of the Shields durability
Yeah.. it's kind of "unrealistic" that a Riot shield laced with... Probably the most toughest bullet proof glass can with stand against a Jet turret, Land mines.. And a Mini gun... And not break with that Much Abuse... I know there's a RU-vid video of A guy testing and showing a Ak-47 gun on toughest security glass...
@h Yeah Didn't treyarch and infinity ward said there game "Is a Realstic Fast paced war game"... I count everything on it correct and used right... But the Riot Shields invulnerability is kinda not Realstic for How much abuse it can take... Especially taking a 50. Cal bullets and Jet turrets... It's sometimes best to keep true to the words or it just sucks the fun out of the game because one player has a 25 killstreak Because he had a Riot shield... Best to give the Riot shield a limit...
I still die all the time from explosions. I'm a shield main. Even with bomb squad. These are perfect scenarios. Even the cruise missile is a perfect scenario. Nobody is that accurate with the cruise missile. If any bit of the explosion hits you even if a portion of your body is exposed you die.
Personally I think most the frustrations people have with riot shields would go away if it had an HP associated with it. So they aren’t entirely invulnerable forever. Just a saving grace for a push or a back support from flanks.
@@jonathoncook8367 so if you buy something and enjoy 99% of balancing of the game, you can’t complain about the one weapon you don’t find to be balanced. Got it. Or are you saying, if someone doesn’t like the riot shield and only the riot shield, they should just not buy the game in its entirety?
How to survive ww3 in real life: 1: Get a riot shield 2: Get food supplies 3: Sit in a corner with the riot shield covering you and stay like that until the war ends. Move around with it only if you need more food supplies and water. You have now acquired invincibility, your welcome ;)
In real life, if you have a strong laser, it’s usually really easy to see from the air (ie recon planes, or aerial drones). Literally a line from the friendlies marking a target to the target they need suppressed. You actually get to see it from a gunship’s perspective in the campaign. It makes a lot of sense when you see it from there.
People constantly saying that they want the riot shield breakable, but what about literally just inflicting chip damage to the player if shot with high caliber rounds. For example, .5 dmg per juggernaut round. That's 200 rounds to kill a full health player, but means they *need* to back off and recover somewhere
Whenever I take off drill charges, people always seem to equip these. I'd love to use a normal frag, but the universe doesn't seem to want me to. On the brightside, riot shield users don't usually learn.
I think it was good to remove it. It was definitely experimental, and I’m not sure how EVERYONE perceived it (since obviously you liked it), but to me it was more of a huge nuisance even if someone on your own team used it since it made difficult to see. Past that it had some bad interactions with spawns, especially on smaller maps. That’s my take on it.
Thanks for the informative video. Too many people watching this thinking it's over powered, but it isn't. Can only block in one direction, and can't block sticks.
I think Activision should update the shield mechanic, Instead of resisting absolute Avery thing. They should just make the shield vulnerable to FMJ rounds, explosion, and sniper rounds.
The fact the glass on the shield doesn't get shattered like in earlier titles (Ghosts comes to mind first) peeves me a lot because I like that kind of attention to detail
Not just attention to detail, but also balance, having the glass break gives the attacker an advantage if they're persistent enough while not making the shield completely useless with a complete destruction.
@@M0D776 The glass couldn't actually be broken in Ghosts, but you could completely blind the shield user if you shot in the right parts of the glass due to how large the shatter texture was.
@@uberschnilthegreat22 oh yeah, same with MW3, I wasn't talking specifically about Ghosts' Shield, just more of a balancing though, sorry for any misunderstandings
@@M0D776 Actually IIRC if you used Armor Piercing rounds on your weapon (or it had AP rounds by default like the CBJ-MS) in Ghosts it would actually penetrate the shield and deal small bits of damage, so the devs did think of a way to counter shield camping back then.
In mw2019, the biggest gripe I had with that damn shield is the logic just wasn't consistent. You're telling me that an ac-130 105mm ain't gonna kill the shield user if I directly hit it. But one semtex stick on the shield itself, even if the shield user has eod, is gonna one hit kill? Makes 0 sense. Gold camo was the most infuriating thing to get later on in multiplayer because everyone just learned to use semtex/thermite and restock for shield users. The shield quickly became of of the most useless, beaten down choices of weapon in the game. If its the exact same shield as mw2019. Which it looks like it to me according to this video, then I'm not wasting my time.
And people say some guns need ti be nerfed. I think the riot shield should have a temporary lifespan like it did in the original modern warfare 2. Also for the SAE the riot shield didn't save him. The fact that he was inside a building is what saved him.
Tbh as a riot shield user I don't get how people complain about it so much, yes some of these are beyond stupid but so many regular throwables counter it, literally just take thermite and the perk that makes them come back after 30 seconds, boom countered, not to mention all of the other throwables that counter it, better yet a better choice is stop aimlessly shooting a riot shield and make better classes
Ez it because most who use it or camping pussys and others or normal cunts wno bash you with it and finally people who use melle with it And the rest are also anyoing but generally have nothing wrong out of any other cod player Basicly it not fun to fight against it
Well yes, you can counter it but in a 1v1 the one using riot shield is clearly in advantage. Plus you can just put on the perk that makes you resist more explosive damage and voilà, you just made yourself a tank. I agree that you can counter it but this involves more brain, for the shield guy, he just needs to sit in a corner and slowly crawl towards you and unless you got 2 explosives you're not going to take him down while all he needs to do is trow a kitchen knife at you and you die instantly. Also yes, you could use 30 sec recharge perk to have more counters to it but still, if you got just 1 C4/termite every time before it reloads, the shield guy is full hp already so it negates the logic behind it. And to conclude, in a fast paced game like this where kill times are under a second you can't take like 30-40 seconds just to kill this one dude, it makes the match really unbalanced unless both teams have a riot shield to equal the waste of time of dealing with them, also while trying to take them out more times than not you'll end up dead anyway, while you're distracted another enemy might just randomly come by and kill you.
In reality Riot shields are really only meant to block knifes, and melee weapons and Molotovs the police shields you see in Ready or not really are only supposed to stop pistol Calibers 9mm etc not GSH 23mm guns
Hear me out, they make riot shields have a health bar, and the caliber of bullet/fmj and streaks to increased damage to them. Even if it has a ton of health they shouldn't be indestructible
I’d disagree. Yes, this would be good for that guy sitting in the corner with his shield facing out like he’s playing R6:Siege, but there’s so many ways around a riot shielder in COD, that there’s no reason for it, and would make the shield worse to use than it already is (which it’s already bad).
@@SayoriWithAGun shield move aside when you run so you will get shot. That won't work. Once drill charge hit you, you are gone. Also Molotov is great counter since it burn around you.
