I agree, having no shield is lame.
The only time me and my friends play with no shield is when its pistols only on BG, so headshots are the only things that matter.
Question: Anyone know how to change the frag limit to 100? I've seen people do it on XBConnect, but I'm not sure if they just hacked the game or use some kind of trick.
Tricks: You can get alot of guns to come to you by using grenades. Like on HH, you can nade the sniper rifle, plasma rifle, and rocket launcher to yourself all from basically the area, you just have to know how to do it. Also find nade jumps on different maps, those are always fun.
Tips: Perfect the 3-shot pistol kill. With regular health and regular shields on, 3 shots to the head is all you need.
