    Several bases are getting shields that cover them from aircraft fire. Attackers and defenders will not be able to shoot through the shield, but will be able to pass through them.

    FUCK. YES.

    Awesome, it will be nice to have more infantry fights outside of biolabs or towers.

    My lib will live longer, but will have even less to shoot at now.

    Especially if those shields block vehicles and all that, pretty good idea here,

    Vehicles and infantry can pass through them. Projectiles cannot. If you watch the video, they mention that you could still fly your lib that close to the ground and farm if you want, but it'll just be a deathwish.

    This also means you will still be able to gal drop onto these bases.

    Yes, he said you could "chicken" in and out of the shield. I call it Peek-A-Boo. I think if used correctly, a lib could farm with ease. Just keep the tip in.

    I may have a wife and 2 kids....but I will always be a Marine. I have a filthy mouth that I have to keep in check everyday. I once cursed so bad and often I offended sailors.
