Hi all
Shields play only a minor role in the game -- although they protect you from headshots, they don't do much else; they're just like extra health.
To make shields more significant, I've created a mutator that makes it impossible to get run over / roadkilled if you have a shield. This can significantly change the landscape of the game, making Mantas less than all-powerful against ground troops.
Let me know what you guys think, and if this works in a network environment. It's not even linked on my webpage yet, I gotta do that later.
