So like, what if right? Supports had portable metallic shields in the game. I mean Im sure they used shield in WW2 right? Would be a great tool on some maps
They already have them in the game, all the noobs that suck at infantry use them, they’re called tanks 
Nooooo.
pd: Go play COD if u want shields
what an awful idea
Awww
no
I mean BF V has female cybernetic commandos on the frontlines so its not out of the question for them to have shields in this alternate universe. Maybe the Italian side will have Roman Legionnaires as a special hero unit(they’re going to do it, you know it to be true) that use a full on Ballistic Scutum. Canadians will get Moose Cavalry with mounted MGs on each antler. Red Army will get the Bear Cavalry with a mounted PTRS. I’ll stop now…

I don’t mind there are women in the game. Clearly this is not a WW2 game. This is so obviously a dieselpunk game, am I really the only one who sees it?
Do you mean something similar to what they had in the best BF game ever made? (2142)? @thebossman2202
Thread about shields. Someone still manages to cry about wimmin being in the game… WTF?
No thanks. The ballistic shield in BF4 was crap and they will probably be utter ¯_(ツ)_/¯ in this game if they are added
It sounds more like something a kind of elite class would have. I’m imagining like Montagne from R6, with the big bulletproof shield and a Magnum. I don’t think I’d want it as an ability for normal infantry though, unless you had to place it or something and maybe it went up to a little above waist height? Could be useful for MMGs, so you have some reliable portable cover to mount it on. I’m not sure though.
It would be useful for medics.
Im as confused as you. Have no idea how or why he brought it up
Whos crying? For the record I used them as an example to show that this is not a realistic WW2 game. So having shields that look fine for the period aren’t that impossible since the realism is thrown out the window and run over by a car. As for the Italian Roman Legionnaires with Ballistic Scutum and a carbine or SMG one hand that could be like the “hero units” they had in Battlefront(EA not Pandemic) and Battlefield 1.
Give them to medic.
I’m serious. They need to get in close anyway, and a shield let’s them do that. Have it be a gadget alongside the Smoke Grenade Rifle and AP mine, and don’t allow the Medic to shoot while using it, only Melee with the shield itself, but it’s a OHK.
I think it’d be pretty cool at least.
^Is this what you want?
