Title: 1.6 Shield Bugs
Post by: OldBloke on September 17, 2003, 10:35:03 AM
It's been confirmed that a raft of shield bugs/exploits exist in the current version of 1.6 that, amongst other things, can enable the following:

1. Crash a server deliberately.
2. Be invincible.
3. Unlimited pistol ammo.

I'm looking into this now.

Don't worry, I'm sure steam will jump in, fix that bug and open up a dozen more :-)

Invincibility:

1. Buy shield.
2. Bring it in front of you.
3. Buy new pistol (might have to be a different model to the one you're holding)
4. You now have the shield in the retracted position allowing you to shoot but as far as the game is concerned it's still in front of you making you invincible from the front at least.

Unlimited pistol reloads:

As you're holding your shield, fire your pistol off. When your pistol automatically starts reloading, drop your shield and pick it back up for a free quick reload. In theory you could constantly reload your gun and never run out of bullets.

Server crash:

Not found yet.

Easy way to prohibit this is to not allow the client to buy the Shield until this issue have been resolved. Just add the line ... hmm forgot the command ... mp_???? 8 8  and it should be resolved.

Yeah the sheild is fun, and the old one sheild one rifle trick is a great idea, but with so many exploits around it should be banned until such time as it is declared stable, if it ever does  :unsure:

That applies even more so to that pile of crack-smoking-monkey poo called steam...

So how do we stand on the Shield Issue. Allow or not?

Me says: No (until fix is out)

I thought that this was the way we were challenging at the moment anyway?  'no shields'

Personally I'm not so worried about it on the Hook. I'd be happy with shields for the timebeing as I get to spend more than enough time dead and watching other people play.  Kinda like Valve's VAC system only I am first-hand and I don't crash ;)

I vote no, too many bugs at this point in time, and I get sick of DA shooting me through an active sheild on Aztec.  ;)
