Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Player Reveals Idea to Make Riot Shields Less Annoying

gamerant.com:

A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 player has posted an idea online that could potentially make riot shields much less annoying to deal with. Riot shields are notorious for being one of the most irritating elements of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have been widely enjoying Infinity Ward's latest offering in the franchise. The game faced the weight of expectations of 2019's successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot, but players do seem to be praising the game. While Infinity Ward can never please everyone, Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has gone a long way to provide an influx of new content to the game with new game modes and weapons to freshen up the experience. As this player shows, it's not all perfect, with riot shields still frustrating players.

The idea to fix riot shields came from Redditor KaraTheAndroidd, who posted a diagram of the concept online after they noticed the feature in The Division 2. The theory is that when a player doesn't have the riot shield equipped, it would fold up on their back, exposing their legs and making them easier to hurt. It would also help eliminate turtling, where players lie down with the riot shield on their back, making them next to impossible to kill. The proposed idea would make no change if the player had the riot shield equipped, with the size remaining the same in that scenario. Riot shields have already been nerfed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but many players believe there's still a way to go until it's fully balanced.

While most people in the thread supported the idea, others proposed simply removing the riot shield from the game.
