Ok so, Could it be added where you can stick your riot shield into the ground and use it as like a defense tactic? So instead of carrying it around, you can place it on the ground and use a gun? It would still block bullets and stuff but you can use it as like a miny wall.

I originally had it setup just to block(which made sense...) but the powers that be changed it.  

When I was creating the riot shield, I was contemplating this feature, as well as many others. However when I thought over the riot shield defense placement, several problems occured. First, if players could just plant them as defenses, squads could place down a bunch and completely dominate bases. Then you guys would complain about it being too OP. If we tried to add a breaking point, a health bar for the riot shield where at one point of absorbing damage, it'll break apart, would we have the item returned to your inventory or have it turned into a multiple buy - single use item? Obviously we won't return it to your inventory after it breaks, for the sake of realism. But to sell it as a single use item? It'd still be costing you an arm and a leg considering it also blocks damage. So would you really be up for buying 20 riot shields that you can place for 10k each? No. No you wouldn't. So after seeing the problem, I'm sure you'll all agree that I made the right decision not bringing this function to the table. The riot shield was never meant as a VIP item, rather it was meant to be sold in shops with two others. However management made a decision to release it as a VIP.

Yes because iZone is all real itself...

You definitely made the right choice, I would hate th riot shield if it were made like that. It's not too OP either, it isn't hard to move around them and hit them.

or u could have just made it so u can only place it down in wide open areas... like bo2. u cant deploy a riot shield on like 60% of the map lol

The only way I can really come up with off the top of my head to do that is to restrict it to certain levels. Many levels can split buildings and other dynamic elements into chunks. Also a place where we'd want to keep it working, and a place where we'd want it restricted can share the same level. That being the case there'd really be no way to perfectly restrict it. So back to what I explained would happen earlier.
