Normally, i prefer shields.. but it depends on my mood. I had a lot of fun playing on no shield games before.

I'd still say shields on though.

i like shields cause it makes killing harder and makes the game overall more challenging... the game revolves less around lucky shots. in no shields if you just spray pistol bullets and are lucky enough to get a hs they die.

No shields is awesome. Not sure why, I just like it.

Shields leads to a better, more fun game. And it doesnt give someone with a 34 such an advantage, sitting there and one shot picking off people.

Shields make it so much more interesting. It makes the difference between killing an ODST and the MasterChief. I mean, he dies so fast without shields, it just ruins gameplay. Now, certain games like all shotties can be exceptions, but personally the best kind of game is a CTF where you have to actually earn the kill. It overall boosts strategy when you have to deal with shields, as well as keep your own up and ready for combat.

Shields.
If I didn't want shields I'd play battlefield 2 or Medal of Honor

Shields. You need skill to take down 2 bars of health, but anyone with an AR can kill someone with 1. Spray. Watch body fall down. Repeat above steps. Kinda boring I think.

Although if you had no shields and everyone else did, and you still owned the game, would be very impressive and would definitely show skill.

Sniper no sheilds when I'm in a peaceful zen kind of mood. Though when it's not sniper it can get hairy, like on the TankWarz server.

With sheilds gets a bit frisky, though the health level matters. Sometimes I play with sheilds and die easy and sometimes without and seem invincible. Must be the health settings, because sheilds are either on or off.

Always with shields ofcourse, the game is with shields, and i think no shields will unbalance every type of game, no matter what you are playing.

No shields are fun to play with sometimes because it starts to piss me off when your in a 'hog and because of shields you can't kill some guys that fast. With no shields games, you can't give infinite nades.

Wait till she goes rampant...

Too bad there isn't an option for selctive shields -ie some people have shields and others don't- so that those who don't want them would not have them, while those that did, would.

Shield's all the way. Although, after getting spanked on, let's say, Chewy's clan server, it's nice to go to a no-shield's server and get my pride back. But in most situation's I prefer shield's.

With sheilds you can get alerted more quickly and reacy and perform you new tactics quicker.
