The shades do suck in Halo PC. A lot of map makers for Halo Custom Edition have been making the damage rate of Shades a bit more appropriate for their new maps. Of course, the combat design of Shades is horrible to begin with. At least with LAAGs you have a semi-shield on the turret that can protect from improperly aimed head shots. In a Shade, you're a sitting duck with no way to avoid incoming fire. Because of this inherrent design flaw, they're fairly useless in multiplayer, even in CE where the damage capability has been upped. The only place they are truly useful in is single-player campaign mode.
