Just a quick sample of what can be done. Y'all thought I was crazy!

Nice.
It works well with LMG's and AR's also.

Mk48 with hybrid is the fucking king of assault shield popshotting.

Mk48 with hybrid is the Foxtrotting king of assault shield popshotting. this. plus it is useable outside of the assault shield role. Still.....nice clip. You make a solid case for shield + sniper.

With this tactic, you become insanely hard to counter-snipe. You now need not to worry about finding use mind bullets spots. Just make you own. Oh and unlike other weapons, you only have to pop up for a split second.

How the fuck did I never think of that...
Nice job. I'm going to try that now (but with an LMG).

This is one of my posts from last month...but it is a bit relative. So I moved it here. Note that my opinions on the HAMR have changed, but my sentiments on the MK48 have not. Dumien, what do you think of the Hammer? Alright if our current theory about flinch/dvk (more damage = more flinch) is correct...the MK48 is the best for what I use it for....The initial flinch to win all of my forward facing gunfights with the assault shield. The hammer is a pretty cool guy, but I don't think I have been able to use it properly and it isn't killing people as quickly and consistently as I would like. What are your guys' setups for lmgs and how do you......use them? I haven't really used these since mw2 when the maps were more spread out than probaddies ass cheeks. LMGs are bar none my favorite gun class type in Blops2 and believe me... I love me some chicom and pdw. However, there is one stipulation...I only use them LMGs in tandem with the assault shield. Ask witty/iw. So, I guess for the biggest parts of my strategy you will have to wait for my assault shield guide (coming out in 2-3) months. However, I will outline the basics right here. Class - LMG Target finder/dualband Laser Sight (absolutely necessary Overkill Assault Shield Flak Jacket Tac Mask Those 7/10 I use on all of my LMG classes barring the LSW which I have a bit more freedom with. In addition I like fast hands. Behind the shield I throw back frags all the time. I got 3 throw backs in a row yesterday on turbine. Gotta protect your planted shield from explosions! In CQC I run around with the LMG for easy hipfire kills. If I am in an open area in danger of being hit by long ranges I pull out the shield. Once I get to an open choke point with no other head-glitching spots I plant my shield, reforming the map (spoilers for the assault shield guide....this is the best part of the shield in this game), and taking advantage of the lockdown capabilities the LMGs naturally have. With this setup you are never in a position of weakness. On maps like drone I am perfectly happy (if I have proper flank support, putting myself squarely on the Bdom flag and waiting. I see a head. I line it up with my shield window. I shoot the fool. LMGs ensure the you have the capacity to mow down an entire team if they try to outnumber you from afar. Most of my killstreaks end up something like this.... *run run run* *plant* *toss a trophy* *check flank routes* *peer out window* *see a dude* *pop shot* *kill* *14 seconds later* *dude comes back with a buddy* *pop shot on one followed by a duck* *line up the second* *popshot again* *repeat* My favorite is when they all try to rush you thinking you are "attached to the shield* ...The you just casually mow them down. en masse.

But all it takes to destroy the shield is a semtex or missile, right?

great topic....been doing this tonight in dom....epic lols
But when I pop and shoot I am not always aimed on the person. Distance seems to be a factor or maybe I just need to work on it more...

Yeah, I actually use the mil-dots to line up the shots at range. Who would ever think that mil-dots had a use in CoD?

Well damn, Puff, you're a freaking miracle worker! Doing up this tactic on the very same map verses persistent snipers, I managed to get that Bloodthirsty done for my Crossbow. Wooo~!

I love this now. I am pop shotting people from behind the shield all day. Just went 10-2 playing SnD...I switched from 2x betty in search to 2x C4 since I don't have a pistol I want some way to defend myself up close besides shield bashing...
FlakJacket (1) Fast Hands (1) Tac Mask (1) 2x C4 + Danger Close (3) Assault Shield (1) DSR + CPU + Overkill (3)
I just unlocked awareness and I think I am switching to that. I want to C4 surprise people flanking/sneaking up on me...Flak jacket will stay though since I am not running engineer and betty/claymore could be an issue...

I tried this with an LMG and the results were outstanding. Many hilariously rage-y deathchats were heard, and (imitation being the most sincere form of flattery) I usually get at least a couple more people in the lobby trying it out in subsequent matches. Damned good find, OP.
Now let's exploit the hell out of this before Treyarch thinks of some way of nerfing it.

I got a satisfying killfeed last night in Snd.
rushed discotech on plaza offense with an Assault shield AN94. Last round there was only one guy there, so I expected a bit more resistance.
This time? I see 3 red dots on the radar. I see a nade fly toward me. I don't have flak jacket. Knowing I have fast hands, I fade toward it and catch it as soon as it falls. I cook it and move left. I throw the nade back and plant the shield. I get a double off the nade. A third guy jump drop shots me. He falls to the Assault shield headglitch from the An 94. A fourth guy walks up with his shield and MK48 and plants it. I yell for help to my buddy who is flanking them. The dude just keeps firing...I don't dare pop up. I throw my semtex to the right of my shield and kill the MK48 guy while my buddy kills the 5th guy and gets the round winning killcam.
montage clip...

So cool. I guess Hijacked with its paper walls would be a good map to try this.

So cool. I guess Hijacked with its paper walls would be a good map to try this. Actually, Hijacked is terrible for the shield because you can't plant it hardly anywhere. And even if you DO find someplace where Treyarch decided it would be okay for you to plant (e.g., the doorways from the superstructures looking out at the center of the map are pretty good), every four seconds the spawns flip and someone shoots you from behind.
