    Thumbs down Meatshields

    Why are they so useless now?
    They can't even stop you from dying from a grenade explosion.
    They take like quarter of a lancer to clip to destroy.
    Also most of the damage from guns aren't being absorbed by it, they just seem to damage you the same as if you didn't have one.

    No... The Forums don't make much sense...

    People complain to use the search bar, and when people actually do they complain about bumping an old thread.

    If all of that is true, that truly upsets me. I always relied on a Meatshield to protect me if I was the last man standing. Now I guess there's really no point.
    Chicks dig the guys who play as Baird.

    Big thanks to xGEARHEADx for the Oberto code!

    Dude I don't think we played the same game, the meat shields definitely still do plenty, they aren't as broken as in gears 2 but they are very useful

    The meatshields do suck big time in Gears 3. Why bother picking it up cause its gone in 3 seconds,doesnt take the damage of bullets,you move slower and cant dodge anything and it no longer takes the frag or boomshot damage. Might as well just finish the kills and move on to the next 1 cause kicking them into to some1 will next be used to gain advantage.

    My suggestion is to make them just like gears 2 because then smokes will get more use!

    They're just so weak, although I wouldn't mind them falling apart so easily if they actually blocked some damage.

    well, I think that's the point. They wanted to speed up the pacing in the game, so rather than make a meatsheild a justification to stand out in the open, you make it a very temporary protection tool when going from one peice of cover to another, also make use of frag-tagging before hitting cover, it's really quite good ig you look at it from that angle.

    They work really well for protecting against the sawed off. And they let you pickup players nades and pistolk ammo. Very Very upgraded in my opinion. Because smokes are almost a weapon by themselves.

    You must suck at using pistols if you think the meatshield is weak.

    i think they are fine, they absorb some damage and it makes the game faster without getting rid of them, also if you play capture the leader and you have the leader hostage all the damage inflicted goes to you, its supposed to

    They're supposed to be used as a scape goat. If you're under heavy fire, pick up an enemy and back away into safety. It's not so much of an offensive tool anymore.
