first off something that could be used to protect teamates is a buff for infantry remote reps,
by this i mean when repping someone they should get a big defence bonus to whatever it is they are repping, meaning if i stand behind a heavy that focuses on armor and im armor repping him, he should be an even bigger tank, team fortress 2 style
same thing for shield reps when/if they come out

for deployable shields i have quite a few ideas,

first being a beacon that reduces incoming damgage to people around it and would individually target people around it to get the buff,

example of how it would work would be, i deploy it on the ground, and it would have a set radius, and number of people it could target, it would shoot little beams at people within the radius and those people would be recieving the buff.

another would be your standard trusty bubble shield,

and then of course who wouldnt want a riot shield...

the riot shield could possibly work in a few diferent ways,
it could be equipment held right in front of you that blocks damage for u and allows sidearm use,
or could be held with both hands and blocks for a big area in front of you for team support,
it could have a certain amount of hp before it dies completely.
or have a duration, or a recharge rate, or cooldown, or you have a certain amount,

you get the idea]]> Fri, 2 Nov 2012 22:10:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/336499
