MW2 Riot Shield Problem > Gaming

Posted: 11/20/2009 4:31:21 PM EDT

i have the challenges unlocked and have been using my riot shield, but the 2 challenges for absorbing bullets and deflecting bullets arent counting. it shows it at 0 even though i have definitely taken the hits. im on ps3. anyone else had this problem? its getting me mad as i would probably be almost done with it by now.

id just like to say that i got a 5 kill streak with my riot shield last nite, it got me hollering at the tv, and my teammates yelling about how awesome it was. you should have been there.

ETA: i have been using mostly hardcore TDM, but i tried it on regular TDM and still no joy.

Riot shield + G18

Marathon
Cold Blooded
Steady Aim (so no need to aim down sights)

Death streak is final stand

Pretty good setup :)

A well place grenade behind a riot shield guy makes short work of them, or shoot the feet of the ones that forget to crouch.

way to totally read the OP guys. i'm not sure why its not counting... i haven't used the riot shield myself... but maybe you have to hold a certain button for it to be counting? i dunno.

I kept running into a guy with a riot shield the other night, i kicked his ass everytime by getting near his side and getting him with the shot gun. In the small room he could get not get away from me. I still have not used it myself.

I'm finding that most everyone with the R-shield never crouches. So It makes it really easy to take 'em out at the feet.

Riot shield on it's own sucks ... you gotta get in a group - then it's easy pickins.

Jesus Christ guys, reading comprehension! Just cause it says riot shield in the topic doesn't mean you can post some riot shield shit and its on topic

As for the OP, that is weird. Call up IW?

they are easy to kill....shoot them in the feet, nade them, flank them and shank em

oh arfcommers

but, i started playing today and it was working now. i think it may have something to do with sprinting, i sprint all the time since i have the kit with marathon on. so i tried absorbing hits by walking and its counting now, maybe something got fixed or maybe that was actually the problem.

either way, thanks for the input....

This. Sidestep + melee and it's all over. I've not yet been killed by a shield.

Their best use is a distraction while you take fire from another person

No but the upgraded marathon (IIRC) fwill aid in faster switching between the ywo.

Dude, you have to use symtex....

no, marathon pro lets you climb faster. it might be lightweight pro. i havent unlocked that yet

You need to shoot the shield at an angle to get the ricochet. You'll see the tracer when it pops off the shield. Even then, not every round will ricochet.

Anyone know what the pro is for scavenger, CB, light weight, Danger close and steady aim are?

Posted: 11/26/2009 11:34:26 AM EDT

[#21]

Scavenger Pro = Extra mags
Cold Blooded Pro = When somebody puts their crosshair on you it doesn't turn red and your name/alias doesn't show up
Light Weight Pro = Quicker aiming after you sprint (less delay)
Danger Close Pro = Killstreak vehicles/attacks do more damage
Steady Aim Pro = Hold your breath longer for sniper rifles
