FORUMS_

I'm having trouble understanding what this means. Are you trying to say that a whole team can use riotshields and create a wall that completely protects them?

If so. then I believe this won't be a problem. Have you actually seen gameplay of the riotshield being placed? To me, it doesn't even look like it gives you a good cover.

well you could make use the turtle formation

if you get a high enuf vantage point u can just pick ppl off from above or thru cracks in between the riot shields. better yet, avoid them all together

There is no hole it's just a glass

Many things in theory don't work in practice because in practice there are many smaller details that are not realised in the theory.

Put simply, this tactic won't happen much or work to anywhere near the effect you mean. I can, however, see short-term and lesser "shield blockades" that will work. Certainly, a stop and kill tactic before moving on may help multiple shield users.

Some of the smaller details that I can think of that will prevent a permanent shield formation "á la Roman Tortoise" are:

- players not being able to place them accurately (through first person perspective, neighbouring players, shield placing game physics, etc.)

- players being shot through the holes

- reduced visibility within the shield wall allowing enemies to snipe from far, approach from nearby corners, etc.

- equipment, grenades and killstreaks

There's certain to be a ton more smaller things too.
