Riot shield should be in ArmA. As a Military Simulation ArmA should have them. They should be very useful for example in CQB. There was a thread about Riot Shields 2013 a dev said that he will look into it... 2 years later still no Answer ( http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=6156 )
There are only a handful bad made mods for it. I would like to see one from BIS that works fine.
It could be used with a sidearm/pistol without the ability of using optic.
Why have you created a new ticket about that feature request? The feedback tracker is full of duplicates. Better support the existing ticket, bump it with upvotes and some note.
That doesn't mean anything. It doesn't matter if 2 days, weeks, month or years.
As an example: The bipod feature got its implementation after two years.
These two things - at least in my opinion - you cannot really compare. And the bipod took about 10 Years. And this thread shouldnt be about us two fighting if the other thread will be handled by a dev or not. It is about the Riot Shield if it should come to ArmA 3.
I am not fighting with you.
I just wanted to make clear, that there already is a ticket about that feature request. Maybe the developers will add a riot shield or maybe they will cancel the idea.
Duplicating tickets may end in more work for the developers to clean the feedback tracker.
